Marina And The Diamonds - Happy

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, more commonly known under the moniker Marina And The Diamonds, is a Welsh singer/songwriter with more than a small modicum of success with hit singles like "I Am Not A Robot" and "How To Be A Heartbreaker", and April will see the release of her third album Froot. The title track was released as the first single in October, and the ballad "Happy" in December, drowning quietly in the Christmas preparations. "Happy" is definitely the better of the two, a sensationally pretty ballad that sounds like a cross between Lana Del Rey and Cyndi Lauper. This is just plain Beautiful, with a capital B, a grower of a song that in a perfect world would be a huge hit, sounding as it does like a truly timeless ballad. I simply adore this song!
