Lowkey I think her and her Clean Bandit boyfriend broke up (just me speculating) so I have faith that his production will not taint this album.  It's such a shame that Marina and Clean Bandit are amazing on their own, but the songs he produced for L+F were.... not it

This is why Marina doesn’t wanna live in a man’s world... 

not YOU of all people talking bout “worth everyone’s time”....honey you literally paid $300 for some marina stems and got scammed lmfao we don’t forget 

It’s not a bad album but it’s probably Marina’s weakest material she has put out. If this album was done by a different artist I think they would have mastered it better than Marina. With the history of Marina’s past material, the album wasn’t dumbing down her artistic vision but rather she decreased it. We all know Marina is able to put out well cohesive and consistent albums with storylines that match with the aesthetics and instrumentations flawlessly. However this album didn’t really have much of that and it felt flat.
 
Again, it’s not a badly produced album, it just doesn’t fit with Marina’s image and style.

That's what I've been saying since release tbh. It'd be a cute Rita Ora album, but it's not something worthy of someone who created TFJ/EH/FROOT.

I would also add that L+F isn't a bad album, per sé. It's just basic for Marina's standards.
You compare it to EH, FROOT or TFJ and you can see that. However, it's still better than some other albums out there

It’s not that L + F is without good songs, it’s that all of them (even the good ones) are produced with absolutely no character or anything at all to make them interesting. The production is bland enough that it sucks the life out of even the good tracks. The album art is some of the most basic ass stuff I’ve ever seen and it suits the music. 

Imagine releasing albums like The Family Jewels, Electra Heart, and FROOT but being told that LOSER + FLOP has your best songs...a tragedy

me when i lie

This sounds really good? I really hope this will be her redemption. I'm sick of people making fun of her and I'm sick of the L+F is bad talk. 
 
People need to forget that album ever existed. 

wow i never check this thread very often and i found out i was missing out! keep going with the fights they’re so entertaining lmao

manifesting this record to have a reworked version of I’m not hungry anymore and also a completely reworked version of please don’t call me with a Rina ft

Wow I'm so excited, the snippet sounds good, the cover art is POPPING, Marina looks great and the lyrical content sounds better this time around.
I'm not expecting it to top her masterpieces on TFJ, EH and FROOT but it definitely sounds like an improvement from L+F!

it’s ok to have opinions but it’s so repetitive to costantly hate on an album that is *okay* like Love + Fear... and that’s all people do in this thread lol

I think you can consider Miss Y and Scab and Plaster as EH outtakes since other Die Life demos ended up on EH except those two.

it’s a banger, that’s why. 
 

Stems make up a song. For example, tracks such as vocals, backup vocals and ad libs will be bounced/exported separately to make the lead vocal stem. All of the drum elements will be exported to make up a drum stem, same for the percussion, synths, piano etc. These days, instead of bouncing/exported the track with all of the elements mixed to be mastered, people will instead master the stems to make the final master track. 

hdfsdg;;; Gays trying to pass off a stem edit as a demo from 2016 even though the song wasn't made until 2018.
 
It's not fake. Clean Bandit was probably testing a rap feature to see how it works.

OMG. She's such a Greek goddess. The colors. The aesthetics. Sweet Jesus. I'm ready.

 
 

where the fuck is Miss Y final??????

brb i'm gonna go relapse into my marina phase y'all want anything? 

Saviour AND Man's World snippet on the same day? God has smiled down on me. 
 
I do see why Saviour was left off, though.  Even though I feel like it's still better than Better Than That and could've easily replaced it, as it would add more to the album.
 
These visuals so far for M5 are seriously a serve, that picture of her in the pink outfit is STUNNING. I cannot wait for this era to kick off 

Can’t wait for Man’s World!!
 
 
is it just me or does the single cover give HEAVY HBTB vibes?
 
Name front and center, single name in smaller cursive, and colors that POP
