    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    Y'all don't know I'm Not Hungry Anymore is not about love but about her career? It's basically another version of Gold. I know it CAN be interpreted as love-related though. She should('ve) released this song as a standalone Spotify single as promised, making it a deluxe track would make no sense.

    She's literally doing it on purpose. She shows us how bad this album might've been and how it is not. A queen...

    Oh now you said that. Please, some men love pussy and not only do they hate women but also disrespect and harass them on a daily basis, and it's been like that for ages.

    I hate to say that because it is not my favourite album but FROOT really feels atemporal.

    A fan said they're worried, she literally replied "lol don't be." An empathy queen.

    Primadonna does, yes! What I meant is that it's normal and common that a commercial sound might get tiring after a while, not that each one has to -- fighting someone for disliking commercial songs is thus just dumb. For HTBAH, I find her voice way catchier than the whole instrumental. Probably that's why I love listening to HTBAH x Toxic mashup. Highly recommend.

    Girl, these two along with How to Bath and Primadonna are the most commercial sounding tracks on the album. It is normal they sound bad almost 10 years later just like does Katy Perry's discography to which Dr Luke tried making Marina sound alike. And Radioactive has amazing lyrics but this instrumental wasn't even made for her in the first place. It's just recycled by Stargate from a random girl, seriously.

    Radioactive aged like milk. So did Lies.

    That's not Marina's fault that the lyrics that Pussy Riot girl wrote are just bad. I liked the queer-queer part, however. Her voice is okay, Grimes vibes. Still, the remix is either completely unnecessary or a wasted opportunity, choose what you want. I feel like Marina's just pretending to like it, but who knows. If she's genuinely content with this rhymeless verse I'm speechless. Anyway, don't act as if Pablo feature was better -- it was not. And the voice was horrible. Whoever even finds Marina those collaborators? If that's you David... PS I imagined the lyrics would be "2011 when Putin was something something", and we got this, lol.

    It's just her new manager who's crazy about remixes.

    I really hope she reconsiders the idea of proper collabing next era...

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    It's honestly so weird seeing such creative titles like Purge the Poison, Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land, Venus Fly Trap and I Love You but I Love Me More on the album right next to such basic ones like Flowers and Goodbye. I'm confused.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    I've already pointed out how y'all criticised Marina for being fake deep yet during FROOT so it's getting really boring. Haters could even say that Electra Heart was fake deep and she just wanted to get the commercial coin lol... nihil novi sub sole.

    We still hope it is sis! Just a different title.

    As far as Honeymoon is for sure similar to FROOT, Honeymoon is amazing, its production is beautiful and feels like a long movie; and that's why I don't like FROOT that much -- it lacks those sonical transitions. Just imagine them between Happy / Froot / I'm a Ruin / Blue / Forget, oh God, I'd kill for that. Or even Froot the acoustic version similar to Honeymoon the song... And yet, here you have midtempo I'm a Ruin and then suddenly boom boom pop Blue and them suddenly rocky Forget. It's just so sudden that I do not enjoy listening to this album as a whole, and when I do it, I know the album is amazing. Here I don't; I tend to listen to FROOT tracks rather separately. That's why I sometimes wonder how the album would feel if polished by somebody else than Kosten.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    I'd say its strength is the sonical similarity to the typical indie rock-pop records. FROOT definitely sounds more similar to Florence + the Machine or St. Vincent than anything else (TFJ is rather original and the only similar album is The Dreaming by Bush). Nothing impressive in my opinion though. I personally only like the storytelling aspect from Happy to Gold -- shame that those tracks are not connected sonically (like without instrumental breaks between, it would feel splendid). Can't Pin Me Down, Better than That, Weeds, Solitaire -- I like them but they seem rather lost. And then there are two existential tracks at the end. Well.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    Well I didn't explicitly mean that the fans are responsible for her interacting with them less, I just wanted to point out that saying she was engaged mostly during FROOT would be far-fetched. Remember the times when she ran her own blog in circa 2010, read letters from fans after giving us her London address, uploaded Homewrecker for free, gave us EVOL for free, fought for HTBAH video, etc etc. The fact she disappeared from socials in 2016 is understandable seeing her father had health problems and two of her family members died, yet she had to be on a year-long tour. It must've been really painful. And then she came back and started reading Twitter... I'm glad the Instagram atmosphere is much better, and that she replies to comments from time to time. I don't think her label would let her not have a Twitter profile whatsoever, but remember that she gave it up once and her team started running it, Marina HQ or something... With Tumblr, who knows, maybe once she feels inspired enough. I just hope for some live videos when the album drops. Wholeheartedly agreed. Stupid of hers to have said she hadn't known who Kate Bush was during TFJ -- these similarities cannot be THAT accidental.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    She obviously had to manage the promotion for the album because the label didn't want to. For some weird reason, they didn't have faith in this record (probably after the commercial success of Electra Heart; still I don't get it). That's how Froot of the Month was born I suppose. Anyway, LOL @ FROOT being Marina at the peak of her creativity. Electra Heart who. It's probably the only concept album she'll have ever done, unfortunately, and the only one having so many references and inspirations. Now she seems more inspired by social media posts rather than classic literature. As for engagement, she probably felt really destroyed after the fandom loathed Love + Fear. Twitter stans literally diss her over and over, and she even used to post hand-written letters to us right before L+F came (they were really cute), sending wishes, writing how much the wait was gonna be worth it and so on... let alone the Marinabook thing and her Instagram posts with giant explanations what the L+F singles were about. I hope she'll get better after Ancient Dreams, which I'm sure the fandom will love, dunno about the critics though; depends on who is going to make a review.

    I have everything under MARINA. It's the same person basically. Word is that Pussy Riot-featured remix is in the making.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    Valley of the Dolls is such a beautiful ballad. No wonder it's so hard to get into any of the L+F piano crap. This one is exceptionally powerful... Probably my favourite ballad from the entire repertoire of Marina's. Diamandis and Nowels created masterpiece.

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    I've just remembered how y'all hated FROOT for weak lyrics, especially Forget and Weeds. Those were times. And now it is a favourite album of so many. LOL.
