It’s been four years since Marina Diamandis has blessed the music world with her presence. Since then, she’s travelled far and wide, rediscovering herself in the midst of her early thirties. Now she goes by just Marina—she axed the enigmatic “Diamonds” from her stage name—and she seems to be thriving.

Since the release of her third album Froot, which was a burst of rainbow love and reclaiming one’s worth, Marina is back and better than ever. “Handmade Heaven” is heartbreaking but beautiful. Marina discovers nature’s vitality despite her hardships.

Marina clarified the significance behind the track on Twitter, revealing she wrote it during a time in her life where she felt especially lost. She sought a comfort in her very own imagined paradise.

Thanks for your love on Handmade Heaven. I wrote the song at a time when I felt very out of sync and lost in the world. One thing that helped me at that time was taking time to look closely at nature everyday.

In someways we live in a very unnatural world – our brains are constantly trying to adjust and adapt to a lot of social and technological change – and I think that can cause a lot of suffering. So many people have anxiety, whilst the natural world has less of a role in our lives.

That’s why this song is important to me. It’s about the sadness of feeling separate from nature. Handmade Heaven is an imagined paradise.

The song is also about a connection with people who are on the same wavelength as you – and how special that feels when that happens.🕊

“Handmade Heaven” is a song for the emotionally reeling souls searching for a purpose. Marina perfectly touches on the subject of dealing with an overwhelming amount of anxiety especially in today’s society that’s chockfull of social pressures.

As the second single from her forthcoming LP, it sets the tone as a strong comeback for the elegant pop star. It lifts you up, sets you sailing through the clouds, and takes you on a ride of utter nostalgia. Just as the title says, “Handmade Heaven” is truly heaven-like—you’re floating with the angels admiring the sweetest of nature.

Marina is maintaining a grace only a musician of her level can achieve. With her upcoming album and some festival appearances swiftly coming up, she’s set to have a prosperous year. Watch the music video for “Handmade Heaven” here:
