Marina and The Diamonds - Blue (Official Video) [+ Review]

Sass game: strong

Gimme love. Gimme dreams. Gimme a good self-esteem. No, this isn't our new mantra for the blog, these are some of the lyrics from Marina and the Diamonds' new song 'Blue'. The track, taken from her FROOT album, has just received a candy-coated new video, which sees the singer enjoying her time at 'Dreamland' amusement park in the UK. The video, directed by Charlotte Rutherford (who coincidentally shot all of the photography from FROOT), is bright, colourful, and energetic, providing the perfect contrast for the actual lyrical content of the song. 

"No, I don't love you/ No, I don't care"

'Blue' is essentially about the singer wanting 'one more night' and 'one last goodbye' with a past lover, despite the fact that she is sick of them and doesn't love them. It's certainly a sassy edition, with the singer showing her forte is definitely unconventional relationship songs with a certain lyrical twist. 

I hate balloons...and fruit!

Stylistically, the video is radiant; pastel hues and bubbles of sweetness fill the air in typical Marina fashion. But underneath the surface there is always something else going on that's a little more sinister than first anticipated. Glitter tears, FROOT bubbles (and plenty of actual fruit-based items) and candy floss are just a few of the latest must-have Marina items and all tie in nicely with the theme of joy and sadness. 

Marina lollin' it up on the hood of a car

The video is a little bit like what we'd imagine 'Bubblegum Bitch' would look like, with the overall sugary sweet nature that is a little false and overwhelming, but at the same time, quite brilliant. Sometimes the singer's videos have a tendency to be simplistic and lacklustre, but 'Blue' proves that Marina Diamandis is on top form with Rutherford manning the helm.

But wait just one minute there!
