MARINA has returned to music with her blissful new single ‘Butterfly’. Check it out below.The eccentric single sees the pop star – real name Marina Diamandis, who previously performed under the moniker of Marina and the Diamonds – sing: “So I’m saying goodbye, goodbye / Watch me grow from afar as I turn into a butterfly / Now I’m leaving you behind,” declaring that she is putting herself first and transforming into the person she wants to be.“Yeah I’m a butterfly / You just never see me spread my wings / I’m already high / Watch my life go ‘bling bling’,” she sings in the blissful and danceable chorus.Directed by Aerin Moreno, ‘Butterfly’s accompanying music video sees MARINA perform the song in various glamourous outfits while dancing around various bedrooms.

The track marks the singer’s first release since the deluxe edition of her 2022 LP ‘Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land‘.Speaking last year to Rolling Stone about her forthcoming sixth album, MARINA shared: “I feel like this next record’s going to be important, and I think the poetry book is also reflective of that.

I’m able to take a left turn and do something that was genuinely just for the joy of doing it. I’m in a separate part of my memory bank.

That’s how it feels.”She continued: “I’ve been writing for six months. It’s still at the beginning. I haven’t started producing anything yet.
