Marina & The Diamonds covers Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend'

Marina & The Diamonds today covered Justin Bieber’s ‘Boyfriend’ during her slot on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge.

The 26-year-old, who previously admitted she feels her fans should be proud of her new pop direction, performed the teen idol’s current single at the Maida Vale Studios for Fearne Cotton’s mid-morning show.

Asked about why she chose the track, she said: It was kind of perfect. It’s a big pop song and as my fans know, I have a brilliant skill of turning kind of bubblegum pop into really fatalistic depressing songs.

“That’s why I did it. It’s very fitting for the Electra Heart theme also.”

The Welsh songstress, who has previously covered Magnetic Man’s ‘Perfect Stranger’ and 3OH!3 and Katy Perry’s ‘Starstrukk’ for the Live Lounge strand, also gave an acoustic rendition of new single, ‘Primadonna,’ which is expected to chart inside the UK Top 20 on Sunday.
