Marina & The Diamonds: The Family Jewels version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in United Kingdom in publishing company 679 on 30. April 2010.
"I am Marina and you are Diamonds," the Greek singer from Wales recently wrote to her fans on her Myspace page, making it clear once and for all that this is not a girl plus band. For Marina Diamandis herself knows well what is good and what is class. And the British media was happy to recognise that: The Sunday Telegraph has already declared the singer's music "the soundtrack of the year", The Independent on Sunday talked about "the next big thing of 2010" and Look put it in a nutshell: "Her addictive album catapults her into her big time. We're already absolutely obsessed with her single Hollywood!" "The Family Jewels" was produced in collaboration with Pascal Gabriel, a Belgian producer who has done big things from Marc Almond to New Order to Kylie Minogue. He did a great job on "The Family Jewels" as well, giving Marin's immensely wide range and idiosyncrasy a homogeneous foundation that makes the album sound like it's all in one piece. Now her debut album "The Family Jewels" is ready for release and has already been awarded the number 5 spot in the UK charts. Marina is sure to break into the top league with this album. Review ,,What you'll hear are extremely carefully conceived songs in the tension between timelessly slick, semi-anthemic adult pop rock, slightly edgy indie rock with many 80s influences and a blunt claim to deliver enduring hits. Only potential world stars will come up with such a blend!" (Good Times, 10.11.2010)
Album spans genres Rock, Pop, Electronic, Indie Rock, Pop Rock and Europop.
