I don't see how Marina is preaching? If she is living in a capitalist system she be able have an opinion about it in her lyrics regardless if she is a millionaire now. She was raised by a single mother and worked for what she has now. It wasn't handed to her and we don't know the struggles she's faced in her past that may have had an influence here.

Exactly, she worked hard and climbed her way up the social ladder. She earned her success, so good on her! Don't then turn around and make out like you're a victim of the system.

Sure it's nothing new and has been done better in other genres but it is refreshing in comparison to the basic themes of love and sex we're used to in pop music.

It's classic Marina: manic and on the nose. The lyrics are a bit all over the place but it works and fits with the energy of the music (for me at least).


Exactly. Just because she is successful and earned money through her art, doesn't mean she cannot be critical of the capitalist systems. It's not like she earned her money through banking. And besides that, I very much doubt she is a millionaire. She has always had moderate mainstream success, but never sold millions or done massive tours and/or sponsor deals. Of course you can't like the song or lyrics but complaining about the content? When the world is literally on fire. I wish we had more popstars like her to be honest.

This is really great, she’s definitely gone back to her old sound which let’s be honest, is her best

Why are people who have worked hard from the bottom up to become successful sneared at more than those born into success? It’s tiring and counter-productive.

I really like this! Yes the lyrics are a bit heavy-handed and a bit too close to all those 'nature is healing we are the virus <3' posts from early last year but I think the song is so fast paced and in-your-face that it manages to tie it all together.

"Purge the Poison" is the first Marina song, which have a small chances to be in my chart from last 9 years, her previous "Grazios Dainos" entry was "Primadonna" (# 1 in 2012).

I'm sure Marina can sleep easy at night knowing this news!

This is the most I have taken to a Marina song in a long, LONG time. Probably since 'Electra Heart' era.

I'm absolutely LOVING it wub.gif

I’ve really enjoyed all of Marina’s albums so far so I’m looking forward to this.

I think she's more than within her rights to use her position to express how she feels about capitalism if that's genuinely how she feels about it.

I didn't really find it preachy as such, more like she's probably trying to say there are vulnerable and disadvantaged people being fucked up by the system.

I’ve just listened to Purge The Poison and it’s very The Family Jewels. I like it on first listen.

Not heard the Pussy Riot version just yet, I can't stop playing 'Hermit the Frog' lately. Somehow it passed me by the first time around.

That was my favourite song from The Family Jewels the first time around, absolutely loved it.

It bops a bit but again I have an issue with her lyrics - I feel like she's reading random headlines she saw on Twitter and isn't saying anything new (which is fine, but I feel like she thinks she is).


How accurate this is laugh.gif

It's a good song but she needs to chill a bit with the on-the-nose lyrics, they're even worse on this than 'Man's World' - not that I disagree with what she's saying but she could be just a little more subtle with it. (I have really liked both songs disregarding the lyrics, definitely here for a return to the Family Jewels sound as that is still my favourite era from her)

I heard about good lyrics - this is very memorable, it's like we have old Marina back, her songs have always been pretty skin deep in meaning and that's what attracted me to her in the first place.

message is a little confused (I don't think she has the solutions she thinks she does) but her heart is in the right place
