Princess of Power (album)

Princess of Power is the sixth studio album by the Welsh singer and songwriter Marina. It was released independently and distributed through music company BMG Rights Management on 6 June 2025. With this partnership, she wrote and began recording material with American producer CJ Baran. It is a maximalist-influenced record with elements of synth-pop, while exploring themes such as empowerment, feminism, sexual freedom, and tragedy.

After releasing her fifth studio album, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land (2021), Marina parted ways with Atlantic Records and launched her own independent record label. She later halted on writing music and gave an update related to her health in 2023, but knew it did not stop her creativity. Returning afresh, she published her poetry collection titled Eat the World (2024), which primarily focused on her youth. The book showed its contribution to the album when Marina began listening to prominent artists from the 1970s and 2000s pop music. This soon inspired its production, being characterised by its upbeat arrangements of synthesisers, backed by a melodic orchestra from the string section.

Upon its release, the album was met with positive reviews from music critics, who highlighted its overall European disco-esque production and roguish lyricism from Marina while comparing it with her previous works. Princess of Power marks her first self-released album since her second extended play, Froot Acoustic (2015). Commercially, it debuted at number seven in the United Kingdom (Official Albums Chart), while it reached the top twenty in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, and Switzerland. It also landed at number forty-two in the United States (Billboard 200), which was relatively higher than her past album.

Three singles supported Princess of Power prior to its release, all of which had accompanying music videos: "Butterfly" was the lead single, followed by "Cupid's Girl" and "Cuntissimo". "I <3 You" also received a music video which coincided with the album release. To further promote her project, Marina is embarking on her sixth eponymous concert tour from September 2025 to June 2026. A deluxe edition was released on 24 October 2025 which included a guest appearance from British singer Absolutely, along with four bonus tracks.
