What is a heartbreaker exactly? Zeppelin, Stones, Marina, Dolly, Mariah and more explain



Latest piece up at Vice Noisey today. It's 'funny' and I really 'gave it my all.' Go read it thanks.

We hear a lot about this mythical creature "the heartbreaker” in music, but what is a heartbreaker exactly? Scientists disagree on the precise terms, but scientists are usually pretty awful at playing guitar, so they don't know shit. Marina and the Diamonds' new single “How to be a Heartbreaker” from her Electra Heart album, due out this week, aims to break down the rules for us and settle the matter once and for all. Does it succeed?... Looking back throughout the history of songs about heartbreakers— or, more specifically, songs called “Heartbreaker”—helps up fill in the rest of this vague police sketch.
