Marina and the Diamonds: Hollywood (Video Premiere)

Marina (of the Diamonds variety) has always been a tad annoyed with the demands of cookie-cutter pop star industry, record label clashes and the Hollywood machine.

All of this seems to have been channeled into her new single (and video), which provides a cheeky snub at the excesses that American consumer culture celebrates at times. Though it’s all a bit of obvious criticism (down with the man, etc. etc.), it’s still a lot of fun in the end.

Favorite line of all? “He said, ‘OH. MY. GOD. You look just like Shakira! No–you’re Catherine Zeta!’ Actually, my name’s Marina.”

“Hollywood,” which will be released on February 1, 2010, while her debut album, Family Jewels, is due out later that month.
