Among other themes on the record, she alludes to global warming, misogyny, heartbreak, and racism. As one fan put it on YouTube, it makes you want to “eco-friendly twerk.”Īncient Dreams is Marina’s fifth studio album, and it’s full of these sorts of juxtapositions she isn’t afraid to deliver an uptempo pop beat and explore the world’s dark, ugly truths at the same time. She sings, “Need to purge the poison from my system / Until human beings listen / Tell me, who do you think you are?” You’d think a pop song preaching environmental reform would be contrived, but Marina manages to make it an earworm-y dance anthem that packs a punch. In “ Purge the Poison,” a lead single on Marina’s new album, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, the Greek-Welsh singer assumes the role of Mother Nature-and she’s pissed off about how human beings have treated her.
