Marion was on work experience
OK, she was never going to be a big star off singing one song with Meat, but by singing the leading duet on the album (not to mention the first single) it gave her a taste of getting involved with promo and got to see what it was like talking to the press.
When she releases her own stuff and holds her own events, the lessons she learned from working with Meat will give her a big advantage over someone 100% new to the promo game.

Meat said something like that in To Hell & Back.
He mentions going to see a record company exec who till a week earlier had been in charge of the branch of the parent company that manufactured and sold fridge freezers.
Where the music industry used to be made up of people who had a passion for music, it's now run by suits.
Look at Simon Cowell.
The dude knows nothing about great music, yet he has a good brain for business, and he knows what the masses want.
