Internationally acclaimed pop auteur MARINA makes a triumphant return to the spotlight with the bold and unapologetic new single “CUNTISSIMO,” released today via Queenie Records and BMG. The track arrives just hours ahead of her much-anticipated performance on the Coachella Mainstage, scheduled for 5:40 PM PT tonight in Indio, California, marking her first live performance in nearly three years.
Alongside the single comes the official announcement of her sixth studio album, Princess of Power, set for release on June 6, 2025. The album is now available for pre-order on vinyl and CD.
A New Era: Feminine Autonomy, Sonic Seduction, and Power
The Princess of Power era introduces MARINA as we’ve never quite seen her before: fearless, seductive, and fully in control. With “CUNTISSIMO,” the singer-songwriter offers what she calls “a love song to independence,” radiating feminist energy through a blend of slinky techno-pop beats and provocative lyrics.
The track is co-written and produced by CJ Baran (who has worked with Carly Rae Jepsen and Panic! At The Disco), with MARINA’s distinctive lyrical voice front and center. It plays like a sensual, shimmering anthem of self-celebration, liberating, empowering, and infused with playful irony.
“So often, women don’t think they’re allowed to feel their sexuality in a way that doesn’t involve how it looks for men,” MARINA said in a recent interview. “They feel that it’s been co-opted. I would love to be able to free younger women of that, the feeling that our bodies don’t quite belong to us.”
This sentiment echoes through the track’s references: “Salma Hayek in the sun / Louise and Thelma on the run,” an homage to feminine strength, legacy, and rebellion.
The Music Video: A Visual Manifesto
“CUNTISSIMO” is accompanied by an electrifying visual directed by Olivia de Camps, whose avant-garde aesthetic perfectly complements MARINA’s bold vision. The video, due to premiere shortly after the single’s release, is a lush, symbolic journey through the female psyche, laced with surrealist imagery and high-fashion flourishes.
From chrome backdrops to symbolic red veils and nods to classical goddess archetypes, the video acts as a manifesto for bodily sovereignty and feminine power.
Princess of Power: What We Know So Far
“CUNTISSIMO” marks the third single from Princess of Power, following the release of “BUTTERFLY” and “CUPID’S GIRL.” Together, the trio of singles paint a picture of an album that is both politically resonant and sonically seductive, an exploration of desire, identity, and self-rule.
- “BUTTERFLY” – A glistening synth-pop ballad that’s already amassed over 15 million global streams, embracing metamorphosis and freedom
- “CUPID’S GIRL” – A hypnotic, psychedelic anthem flirting with obsession, mythology, and the shifting terrain of love
Early press surrounding the album describes it as a glamorous rebirth for MARINA, fusing the philosophical depth of FROOT with the pop dynamism of Electra Heart and The Family Jewels. With shimmering synth textures, Eurodance influences, and introspective lyricism, Princess of Power is shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated pop releases.

Cultural Impact: Reclaiming the Narrative
Beyond its sonic ambition, “CUNTISSIMO” arrives as a cultural statement, challenging patriarchal narratives and redefining how women express desire and power. MARINA has long explored themes of gender, autonomy, and self-worth, and this new chapter takes that conversation further into bold, uncharted territory.
The title alone, a playful and pointed reimagining of a vulgar term, reclaims language that has historically been used to diminish. With “CUNTISSIMO,” MARINA invites listeners to step into their power, revel in their sensuality, and discard shame.
Pre-Order and Listen
Princess of Power is now available for pre-order on vinyl and CD via Queenie Records and BMG. “CUNTISSIMO” is streaming on all major platforms today.
Stay tuned for more music, visuals, and exclusive tour news from MARINA in the coming weeks as she continues her reign as pop’s most introspective and now most unapologetic voice.
