It is a one-off single, released on 3 October through 679 Recordings, prior to the release of her eagerly-anticipated second album. It retains Marina's distinctive husky vocals, which is a married to a storming dance production job courtesy of Stargate (Beyoncé, Rihanna, Katy Perry).

The 25-year-old Abergavenny singer-songwriter has recently been touring the USA with Perry. She said: "I wrote Radioactive in New York in the middle of a heat wave. Introduced to a glittering new night-life, I fell in love with New York; it has this magic, fizzing white energy that no other city in the world has.

"I felt happy and was inspired to write a song that felt light and euphoric, a more streamlined, minimalistic style of song-writing. I have changed my approach to song-writing completely, and as a result, written songs I would never have written on my own (ie on my Argos keyboard alone in my bedroom in London).

"I've been working hard on my new album for a year and a half and hope Radioactive can tide you over until it's ready."
