I know there are people such as Lady Gaga, but she still co-writes, and that fascinated me, but once I let go of that I just hit the road running.
I was against that in the beginning because I noticed there were no top 40 American artists who wrote on their own. I had to pluck up a lot of courage to go down that route. It's ended up that they are almost being used as a foil to tell a story about love and how identity is tied into that.ĭid you worry that by working with American producers that you'd lose some of your identity? The reason why I did that is because I really enjoy photography and I wanted to make a multimedia project and I'm interested in identity, so that's how it started. The album title represents a set of female character types that I don't consider to be alter egos or imagined persons, they are literally character types.
We spoke with Marina about the song, the new album and what her favourite swearword is.
