I am ready for A.K.A. & Unreleased compilation album & LDR10 official announcement at Hyde Park

OH MY FUCKING GOD GUYS A NEW FROOT DEMO SNIPPET CAME OUT
 

Marina after including "capitalism made us poor" and "I'm a millionairess" on the same album

Marina and Theo Hutchcraft were like a fever dream. But there was something about them that just screams 2011 


 
He was probably the one who didn't give Marina the starring role and who was too proud to say that he made a mistake 

I still feel most people don't get that the "you" who can "do better than that" in the song is not Ellie but the man Marina is singing to. 

wheres the lie.

honestly whether she’s being marina lieamandis again or she’s telling the truth, I’m surprised after teasing flowers and nature for 2 years straight and receiving monochromatic album visuals with L+F people are still reading that heavily into her posts

When is her new era starting? My biggest wish is still for her to return to a commercial pop girl sound similar to Electra Heart. She clearly enjoys performing the songs during her live shows. Idk if I'm delusional but I think she's the most sprightly when she sings songs like Bubblegum Bitch. 

I still remember how shocked I was with how perfect Immortal is, haunting song and music video, such a gem. It kinda feels like a good bye to Marina & the Diamonds. 
 
What a trilogy, what a ride. 
 
 

I think Froot is also loved for the sentiment. It kinda felt like a full circle moment for Marina and her fans. The roll out of the album was great (with the froot of the month), she made the album on her own, she made peace with no going fully commercial & lyrically Happy is a song that adds to the full circle moment of Marina being in a happier place herself. 

Overall I've always ranked the albums like: TFJ > EH > Froot > ADIAMW > L&F
TFJ & EH are musically really really good, putting TFJ is because I personally enjoy the more indie/newwave sound over the full pop.
Froot has some really high peaks with the title track & Happy, but also has some skips (weeds, better than that, gold). The lyrics and music seems to become a bit more basic than her first two albums
ADIAMW has actually less skips but is a little bit on the nose with the lyrics at times. But I don't dislike any of the songs on there.
L&F is just basic pop. Handmade heaven, To be human & End of the earth are nice. The other songs ain't terrible, it's just not on the same level as her other work. 

Me thinking that there would just be a companion EP titled "Vegetables"

Froot isn't cohesive yes, I haven't seen fans saying that to my surprise. I never really found her albums that cohesive because in her albums there are sounds of everything, even in TFJ or EH (but EH is probably her most cohesive one). But imo cohesiveness is overrated. I love an album which has different sounds. That's why I love Froot, there is a perfect mix of other genres.

yall just be saying everything 

fun and non-chart conforming production, lyrics that are actually well thought out if she made a political statement (savages) and a fun era where she didnt feel like an LA try hard

she needs to dip her hand back into the froot-bowl (aka one of the best albums of all time) because the half baked and pretentious ‘self-aware’ lyrics are unlistenable atp

the reason Ancient F Words is much better than L+F is because she started all of it on her laptop, there are laptop or piano demos that she did for all of the songs, yes they sound rough but they have that charm of her earlier work of banging away at the piano and garageband loops - the problem was the lyrics, it went really pretentious on an attempt to be self aware and "political"... but you can see she still got some chops by the specialness of these demos, unlike someone like BANKS who went indie and tried to self produce her entire album to output that garbage snake thing she put out
 
L+F was trash because she went into studio to write generic love songs started from scratch by a random collection of producers... only a few songs on L+F was made as a laptop demo by her, mainly handmade heaven and soft to be strong, which are two of the strongest songs on the album and most Marina like to no surprises... as long as she keeps her focus on creating songs herself, working mainly with one producer to create a consistent soundscape and finding better lyrical content she will be fine. but i worry about her being independent now... there's a big risk that she will just become more insufferable

I agree, stripped is a better way to call it than acoustic. 
 
All you mentioned makes totally sense, she really let her Fandom down with those watered down fake acoustic versions. 
 
It's crazy to realize how lazy she got after Froot, all her past eras had great live acoustic versions. 

I think maybe cause of the L+F 'drama' around the acoustics?
for those that don't know/weren't there: she announced an acoustic version of baby which tbh I think a lot of people wanted (including me) as it's very obvious the song was too fast for her (which she admitted it herself & was having nightmares about it lol) then it was released and it was literally just the song with some stems removed/changed. she got a bit uptight/self righteous on twitter that fans were disappointed and said something like 'acoustic just means blah blah', which considering all her previous acoustic versions were live (sounding) acoustics I really don't think it was unreasonable for fans to expect live acoustics.
then she was asked if she would do love + fear acoustics and she said yes, made everyone wait like 7 months to basically pull the same thing as the baby acoustic, orange trees is practically the same, superstar wasn't that much difference, no more suckers was pretty much reproduced iirc but it sound really clear to me they just took her vocal sessions from the album and changed the instrumental I really doubt she did any more vocal takes. people were just upset that they weren't live acoustics, especially after the serve of the froot acoustic sessions. (though all of her eras have really great acoustic versions) also the song choices were weird.
I think this is why we got 'man's world (stripped)' because if she called it 'man's world (acoustic)' it would be the same drama again

You can see the difference living in LA has done to her songwriting. The industry is so close knit it’s crucial she holds onto her roots or she can very easily become homogenized and uninspired. This is why so many artists tend to decline in quality after their first/second record
