Fanmade final version I did for Holiday, 'cause it annoyed me how unfinished it sounded.

I LOVED IT, but I think her voice gets lost in the chorus with the instrumental.

did the CursedBlessed Madonna DJ'd this??

I feel like Man's World is a return to form but sadly this is the main single of all her eras that I have played the less. 

 

I adore the production and her voice but to me the lyrics just don't click in me. 

 

I'm sure there will be songs I will absolute adore in the record

I’ve always thought that her singles weren’t the best tracks from her albums so I have a lot of hope. From some of the other snippets we’ve heard, there are some absolute gems on the new album.

 

Also, after everything that happened with L+F, I’d imagine that her record company (or possibly Marina herself) feels more comfortable going with safe single options. More radio friendly, easy on the ears and mind, and less boundary pushing, ya know? A smooth transition into her new album, I guess

And Numb, The Outsider, Valley Of The Dolls, Buy The Stars, Living Dead, End Of The Earth, etc... tells those tracks to fuck off.

 

TFJ and Froot single choices were (more or less) a serve, I’ll give u that. BUT the other albums’ single choices?? It’s a big fat no from me

In EH she/her team clearly wanted radio-friendly tracks, that's why we got Radioactive, Primadonna, Lies, HTBAH and P&C, even though Homewrecker, Bubblegum Bitch or Teen Idle and all other ballads are absolutely amazing and they shape the record much better.

Handemade Heaven ain’t it either. Every track from TFJ and most tracks from EH and Froot piss all over HH.

The piano demo was good tho

I know. That was one of the points in my original post. That’s why I am very hopeful for her next album. The gems aren’t gonna be the singles. They’re gonna be the random tracks

I strongly have to disagree because Handmade Heaven it's in fact one of the best songs on L+F, and even the best track to some people (including me). It's a really good song imo

Woah woah woah. I never said it was bad compared to the other songs on L+F. Handmade Heaven and End of the Earth were L+F’s saving grace.

 

I just meant in comparison to 99.9% of her older songs on her past albums, it’s not that good. It’s alright, just meh

I still have to disagree because Handmade Heaven is especially good that's already essential on her discography

I have been a LONG stan of Marina and I must say, the newer tracks sound much more SJW and like a college student project. No hate there, obviously, but I miss the emotional and heavier stuff we saw frequently in TFJ, Electra Heart, and FROOT. While I obviously stand by the lyrics in Mans World, I can't sit here and act like its anything new that we haven't yet heard before. I know she was miserable writing most of her other records due to heavy commercial push and collaboration, but I can't lie when I say I think its some of her best work. I adore Marina, but I think sometimes she needs to be pushed a bit, otherwise we get more bland things like L+F which I played once and never could again. It just didn't "Stick" with me like Electra Heart or FROOT did and I REALLY tried. 

 

EDIT: Afterthought, I just am getting sick of heavy "the world sucks theres why" songs and that may be a personal thing. It just feels kinda cliche, and overdone. I agree with all of it and am very progressive, but I just kinda, idk. It just feels contrived sometimes or something.

Still listening to Man’s World, and the acoustic version makes me feel more melancholy but I love it just as much as the original.
