MARINA (and The Diamonds)

[Trinity 1,227]

I'm pretty sure she released it on her own, too, not with a label or anything.

[National Anthem 9,905]

Lol didn't she put EVOL and Just Desserts on iTunes too or did I make that up in my head??

 

... because they aren't there now.

[Sitar 22,218]

They were and it was speculated that she didn't do it herself

 

Which is why I think this Electra Heart thing might be unofficial

[Trinity 1,227]

Yeah, people on Twitter were saying it's probable that this was unofficial so they stopped promoting it.

[Sitar 22,218]

Not to mention the full Electra Heart is already leaked and 4:41

[Heaux 1,400]

omfg merna is hella turnt 

 

she just put EVOL and Just Deserts on Xbox music for 7.99 each

They were and it was speculated that she didn't do it herself

 

Which is why I think this Electra Heart thing might be unofficial

stuff has to be approved, it doesnt work like that

[Heaux 1,400]

lmao

[EXODUS 9,925]

I checked the track with an spectogram and this is what I found:

 

ELECTRA HEART - iTunes

 

All the songs Purchased from iTunes (which are Purchased iTunes Plus 256kbps M4A files) reach the top of the graph with 22.1KHz (most of them) or 21KHz as any regular lossless file (like FLAC/ALAC/WAV/AIFF).

This one reached to 18.3KHz which is an equivalent to a 192kbps-256kbps MP3
And 320kbps reaches to 20KHz.

This audio files is FAR inferior to any iTunes purchased song or a regular high quality 320kbps MP3.

 

 

ELECTRA HEART - MP3 LEAK

 

This is the file that leaked a few hours/days after Marina uploaded the EH video
See? It almost reaches the 20KHz, the file is 320kbps and it might be a real 320kbps.

 

 

E.V.O.L - iTunes

 

See? This one reaches the 22.1KHz like a real iTunes Purchased song. This might be real.

 

 

JUST DESSERTS - SOUNDCLOUD

 

This one is an official 320kbps MP3 file given as a free download by Marina on her Soundcloud.
See how it reaches 20.7KHz yet doesn't reaches 22.1KHz (as a lossless file)? It is a REAL 320 kbps MP3 file.

 

CONCLUSION

 

This Electra Heart song that offers iTunes is FAKE.
There's no way that Marina is offering the song in such a low quality.
Usually iTunes gets the songs in lossless (WAV or FLAC) and they convert them in iTunes Plus, when thi happens the quality is great and it reaches 22.1KHz
 

In this case the person sent a low quality MP3 file to iTunes, there's to possibilities:
1) This person sent a video rip and that's why the song quality only reaches 18.3KHz
2) This person sent the MP3 leak that reaches 19.8KHz and during the transcoding it lowered the quality of the song to 18.3KHz (when you change the format of a lossy file to another lossy file the quality gets lower. If you change a 320 kbps MP3 to a 256 kbps AAC file the quality will be WORSE and the KHz will be lower)

 

Also, we should note this:

 

 

This one was uploaded by 679 Recordings Ltd. and this one is a real as I proved you.

 

This "Electra Heart upload" was done by "2014 Marina and the Diamonds"... how odd? 

[Plastic Rainbow 32]

I have a feeling it's not real. You'd think Marina would want the whole Electra Heart era to be done and over with. I like the cover, but it looks like a fan made tumblr edit to me. 

[comeintomybedroom 8,662]

It's only 99 cents. And it's a minute less than the leaked hq version, which was too long in my opinion.

[EXODUS 9,925]

It's only 99 cents. And it's a minute less than the leaked hq version, which was too long in my opinion.

 

That one is fan-made.

 

The leaked one has the same length as the video but the quality is better.

[EXODUS 9,925]

The 4:40 version is not fan-made, if that's what you're saying.

 

It was confirmed on Marinaboards that it is fake.

 

Edit: I can't find the post, but there's a user who linked us to a tumblr post where someone uploaded the extended 4:40 version and claims it's made by him.

 

I know what you're saying, I saw someone claiming that the video version and the extended version were on Warner/Chapell website, but never saw them there.

[EXODUS 9,925]

Oh?  I'm very curious, please do link me.

 

Edited my post Do you saw those two versions on Warner/Chapell? or do you have a screenshot? I'm curious as well 

 

Did the extended version leaked in 320 kbps as the video version?

[Adrift 4,813]

It was confirmed on Marinaboards that it is fake.

It's not fake, stop.

[EXODUS 9,925]

It's not fake, stop.

 

Just checked the audio of the extended with an spectogram, you're all right, it's not fake

 

The next question: Why the leaked version of the video version (who also was uploaded on Warner/Chapell) is 320 kbps but the audio quality is worse than the extended version that is 192kbps?

 

OoT: EVOL I see you more here in LB than in MB lol

[Born To Die 469]

[EXODUS 9,925]

Ah. There's only one version (which is not 320kbps), here's a screenshot:

 

 

That's the 192kbps 4:40 version? Is the only one on Warner/Chapell?
