We love songstress Marina Diamandis -- a.k.a. Marina and the Diamonds -- for both her beguiling vocals and her playful, irreverent style. Marina, who rose to pop prominence with songs like "I Am Not a Robot" and "Oh No!" from 2010's The Family Jewels, recently released "Fear and Loathing," a preview track from her upcoming album. On the new release, she'll assume the guise of Electra Heart, which according to her blog, "embodies the lies, illusions and death of an American Dream." (Presumably, it also involves a bob: the video, below, sees her lopping off her long locks.)
