Marina And The Diamonds To Release Oh No

• 26th May 2010

Following her amazing performance at Radio 1’s Big Weekend, Marina and the Diamonds, AKA Greek/Welsh 24 year old Marina Diamandis, is proud to announce the release of new single “Oh No” on July 26th through 679.

Recorded last year in LA with recent Ivor Novello award winner, Greg Kurstin, “Oh No” was the final track completed for her debut album, but has already become a firm fan favourite. The video will be directed by Kinga Burza, who last worked with Marina on her “Hollywood” video and the single package will feature remixes by Grum, Jaymo and Andy George, Steve Pitron and Max Sanna as well as Active Child.

To accompany the single announcement, Marina will be giving away a live version of 3Oh!3’s “Starstrukk” from her official website. After performing her unique (and brilliant) version on Radio 1’s Live Lounge a few weeks ago, she’s decided to include the cover on her current UK tour. To download a live version of the track, go to her official website:

She’s also announced her biggest UK tour yet this Autumn in October and November, taking in London's Roundhouse on 8th November. Be sure to get your tickets now before it all sells out!
