Marina and her promises, yeah... haven't y'all learnt anything 

Impressive how Marina manages to look younger

Seems not so much

I expected more from Galina, sounds somewhat mellow, I don't get the hype, but it might grow on me for sure. Off with Her Tits might will probably be unchallenged.

Imagine we got Marina's Ultraviolence 

Thanks! So indeed it was someone she had worked with previously. I can't give reactions to posts for some reason lol so forgive me my unnecessary post ig

marina said that froot originally had a different producer and she worked on the album with them for months before meeting david. this mystery producer was someone she worked with before, and was probably based in the uk (based on her social media). I think this is why she scrapped some of the more 'interesting' production which is a shame.

I don't think she had a different producer, is this confirmed anywhere? But I certainly remember that she tried following electronic path, so if anything she could've returned to Kurstin who was her safest bet when preparing Die Life.

BTW What amazes me is that while it is canon in the fanbase to hate Love + Fear, for some reason everyone likes different songs from it, so it's not technically objective to hate on the record tbf and it just proves that the problem with the album is a lack of sound consistency.

TBF her poetry is not THAT bad. I'm sure it helps her in a way, so that's what counts. But I'm obviously more excited about music and do not get why she posts so randomly and mysteriously. However, she did that before FROOT and then she delivered soo...

Since when did y'all go from hating L+F to hating ADIAML Anyway stream Living Dead, Fear & Loathing, Froot, Valley of the Dolls, Sex Yeah, Starring Role, Immortal, Rootless, Soft to Be Strong, Numb etc. 

Oh wow she's now rhyming "you" with "you"?

Can people stop idealising that messy low budget FROOT era, thanks

Girl With No Face is much better than Black Eye which was a weird lead single choice.

Instead of complaining on Instagram she could write a new Pull Out The Pin

Ugh I need her to finally have a proper concert in Europe not a dumb festival again

I simply find TFJ a bitter reflection of teenage years and why would anyone expect a teenage girl to write non problematic songs. Seriously people have too much freetime and love to find dramas with more clever artists while commercial singers, men especially, go on doing the most idiotic or offensive stuff and nobody cares.

I blame it on people who wanted Savages as a single.

It was one of her most popular songs once pulled on Spotify, she quickly noticed that.

And Girls is iconic idgaf

It's been a year since I started feeling embarrassed of listening to her music and she's done nothing to prove me wrong, girl.

Is she even doing anything at this moment or just chillin' and reminiscing of Japan, England, California, Greece, Russia or whatever as she did in the past years

whoever said it would've had to be exactly EH-inspired? anyway things started getting boring, can another song of hers go viral on tiktok at least or sth

see moments like her posting her cover of true colors on her story give me an ounce of hope, but then i remember that, before adiaml, she posted a video of herself listening/singing along to lonely hearts club with the caption “getting inspiration…” or whatever and then we got… not lhc vibes at all whatsoever 😭 

I could see Venus Fly Trap slightly influenced by LHC tho

As a European I never cared about any Americana thing, what resonated with me as a teenager was how boldly Lana and Marina depicted depression, existential and identity crises and tragic love, something that most artists usually dared not to talk about at that time, the radio was mostly either dubstep dance rubbish or Adele-soul and it was also the time when song streaming wasn't a thing so obviously finding new artists was harder, hence we had Tumblr. Marina's and Lana's quotes and images literally ruled that site. They both explored the themes of identity, loneliness, unreciprocated feelings and were able to put all of that under the facade of commercially accessible wise pop records.

I agree, but she has made some weird decisions especially in her self-admitted 'sellout era'. like spending so much of her music video budget on radioactive, which she called a promotional single and lowkey irrelevant to the album whilst she was on the promotional press run for the single she should have spent that money on primadonna's mv which is iconic in its own right but as music videos go radioactive's has replay value imo. (also iirc the vinyl mess was a lot of artists at the time, the factory they make vinyls in was seriously backed up on orders & it affected bigger artists than marina)

(this isn't directed at you) but I see a lot of people seemingly act like marina's 'lack of (commercial) success' is 100% atlantic's fault or her management (I saw a lot of people blame jess for L+F when jess managed her during FROOT & came up with the froot of the month idea!) when it's really a combination of factors which includes marina.

I think that L+F did pretty well after all, that era was also messy, like why did they even release LOVE EP first? Anyway the thing with Radioactive is that Marina had extremely high expectations towards this song and its failure is exactly why she abandoned it. Shampain was a failure as well so Marina pretended to hate it right after it was released LOL, as if she was pressured to make it a single. This is what Marina simply does, same with L+F, like "I was made by the label to do that" thing. Like girl c'me on, we love you but we know you love lying and hiding your insecurities wherever u go.
