Marina is tackling some of the biggest headlines with her new single.
The “How to Be a Heartbreaker” singer-songwriter returned on Wednesday (April 14) with her new single and music video, “Purge the Poison.”
In her new song, Marina references several cultural events, including the #MeToo movement, Harvey Weinstein and Britney Spears‘ highly publicized head-shaving moment in 2007.
“2007 when size zero was the rage / Britney shaved her head and / All we did was call her crazed / Harvey Weinstein‘s gone to jail / Me Too went on to unveil / Truth and all its glory / The ending of a story,” she sings.
“Need to purge the poison from my system / Until human beings listen / Tell me, who do you think you are?”

She also tackles gender imbalance in the political system: “I just want a world where I can see the feminine / We only make up one-quarter of the government,” she sings.
The song comes ahead of her new album, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, out on June 11.
She similarly challenged the patriarchy with her return at the end of 2020 with “Man’s World.”
