Marina & the Diamonds Battle Darkness in the New "Forget" Video
Ever since Marina & The Diamonds released the delicious new single "Froot" in October, the Welsh singer-songwriter has been dropping sonic treats for fans every month—a couple of which made our monthly list of the best pop songs. For March, Marina has brought us a video for the introspective, indie-pop jam "Forget."
Singing with her signature, vulnerable lyricism ("'Cause I have lived my life in debt / I've spent my days in deep regret / Yeah, I've been living in the red / But I wanna forgive and forget"), Marina rocks out in three distinct looks: a dark, all-black ensemble, a slick white dress, and a glamorous-yet-devilish look centered around pulsating-red eye shadow.
The song details her internal struggles ("Sick of my small heart, made of steel / Sick of those wounds that never heal") and revelations ("I'm gonna leave the past behind / I've had enough, I'm breaking free"). The different looks likely detail Marina's different personalities as she tries to move from a dark, bitter vixen to enlightened, lighthearted gal who just wants to dance with her band.
