Marina And The Diamonds Releases Video For "Blue"

If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. I am in love with Froot by Marina And The Diamonds. She has made the perfect album this time around. I could find little at fault with it, and it seems like that trend is continuing. She's now putting out her second single from the album, "Blue", and the video is ready to go.

This video is rather peculiar. Not in a bad way, but in a very Marina way. There's not much as far of a plot, per say, but it's not like other pop videos of various shots of the person singing. It has a vibe, one that is hard to describe. Again, the best way to really describe it is to say it's just Marina.


The setting takes place in an abandoned local fair.  The camera changes venues between her at a food stand (continuing the Froot motif), a carnival ride, and even her as a psychic doing palm readings. Now that I think about it, until the end of the video she's actually completely alone, fitting in with the song's theme of only being with someone so she's not lonely.

At the end of the video we get to see Marina do some pretty fun choreography, being the closest thing to a regular pop video that we've gotten so far. She's got a very different way of going about everything she's done up to this point, including her take on videos. She may have ditched her "Primadonna" character from her early days, but she's not lost that spark that makes her unique.
