"Shampain"
Song

"Shampain" is a song by Welsh recording artist Marina and the Diamonds from her debut studio album, The Family Jewels. It was released on 11 October 2010 as the album's fifth single.[1] The track was added to Radio 1's B Playlist.

Background

When asked what "Shampain" was about and the production behind the song, Diamandis said:

["Shampain" is about] the depressing side of getting drunk, the obliteration side of having a good time. This was actually the first co-write that I ever did...It was good to write a simpler pop song because when I write on my own the melodies are all over the place. It was good to do something a little bit lighter, and this probably is my lightest track on a record. It's about insomnia and the joys of champagne.

— Marina Diamandis, iTunes[2]

On co-writing, she added: "I hate [co-writing] so I do it because it's so challenging for me. As soon as I do it I am really pleased that I have. I've had the pleasure of working with three great people...'Shampain' was written with Pascal Gabriel, Liam Howe and we had a lot of fun doing it."[2]

"Shampain" was used in an episode of the BBC Switch soap opera The Cut.[3] The song had the working title of "The Shampain Sleeper" in 2009.[4]

Music video

The music video for "Shampain" was directed by Kim Gehri[1] on 24 August 2010. It was filmed in a park in London.[5] It was released on September 6, 2010.[6] The video has a very gothic, horror style video. Its starts off showing a full moon and then to a scene where candles are blown out as the title flashes onto the screen. Diamandis is then seen lying on a black silk pillow as the song begins. A burger wrapper then flies across her face and the scene cuts to show her lying on the steps at a park bandstand. She stands up and walks through the park, followed by dancing female party-goers intoxicated to be reminiscent of the zombies in Michael Jackson's Thriller.[7][8] The video ends with Diamandis waking up on a park bench as if she dreamed the whole video up.[9]

Critical reception

John Murphy from musicOMH described the song as "infectiously catchy and has enough depth not to be dismissed lightly as bubblegum pop."[10] James Berry from Yahoo! Music said the song "bucks like Goldfrapp riding The Killers' bronco".[11] A number of critics had commented negatively regarding the title of the song. Gareth James from Clash called it "hideous" and described the track itself as being "a little forced".[12] The Independent's Andy Gill said the song was "every bit as annoying as [its] punning title, with queasy, prancing piano and synth figures labouring away methodically, Mika-fashion, while she searches unsuccessfully for worthwhile lyrical routes."[13]
