Multiple fans even passed forward letters and gifts that they had brought for her that she graciously accepted. People had signs and pictures of Marina that they held up, many had painted hearts on their cheeks to resemble her tattoo, and one person even had this customized denim vest that had a picture of Marina's face painted on the back. Looking around me, I could tell that Marina had loyal fans. There was a sofa and coat rack with shawls and fluffy jackets hung on it. My friend and I were fortunate to get really good spots close to the stage, which was set up like a parlor in a house. I saw Marina and the Diamonds at Park West, which is a nice venue where people have access to seating and a bar, and there is also a big section in the front where people can stand.

That night was full of lights, colors, hearts, dancing and amazing music that I'll never forget. I got to see her with my best friend a few years ago, and that concert was our first concert that we'd ever been to. Marina and the Diamonds is very dear to me, and thinking about this concert brings back so many good memories. Marina then embarked on several tours, gaining a support slot for Coldplay on their 'Mylo Xyloto' tour in 2013. The album itself reached the top spot of the UK Album Chart, as well as fairing well on the US Billboard 200, peaking at number 31. The album became a huge success, bolstered by the popularity of the preceding singles, 'Radioactive' and 'Primadonna,' with the latter peaking at number 11 in the UK Singles Chart. In April 2012, 'Electra Heart' arrived, a concept album dealing with ideas of female identity. It was two years before Marina returned with a new album, having toured extensively, supporting the likes of Katy Perry on an international tour. Returning to the studio in 2010, her debut album arrived in February that year, titled 'The Family Jewels,' which debuted at number five in the UK Album Chart. Her 'Crown Jewels' EP arrived later that year, featuring the number 12 hit single, 'Hollywood.' Following these initial releases, Marina then dived into the British festival circuit, playing at the likes of Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds Festival and Bestival. Marina signed to independent label, Neon Gold, in 2009, releasing her first single, 'Obsessions/Mowgli's Road' shortly after. Finding influence from Britney Spears and Gwen Stefani, Marina's music blended keyboard driven ballads with lively glam pop, tied together with her soulful voice. Beginning to create her own music, she gradually developed a strong fan base for her left-field pop, uploading her self-produced compositions online. Marina displayed an interest in music and performance form an early age, attending various schools and universities but never finding the right course for her.
