I mean I haven’t even noticed this album rollout is taking a while, I had just assumed Mans World was a random single and I honestly didn’t even expect an album this year, I’m quite happy with the way things are going tbh but then again I didn’t hate L+F like a lot of y’all do??‍♂️

as much as I hate lf and think Marina has dropped the ball on being an artist, I haven’t noticed either TBH 

 

like we’re in a pandemic and it will be a whole year before we can actually go back to normal so what’s the point of having a tight release schedule... who cares? we’re in no rush at all for new music

 

It would be nice tho if she released INHA as a stand alone thingy to fill the void while we’re waiting for M5 especially since RSD is around the corner

is there a master post of Marina demos?

 

I posted near the end of the last page and I just don't want this to get overlooked.

 

Thanks whoever has a link

anyway since theres no new news yet i would just like to say that...homewrecker, teen idle, and votd ? deserved a primadonna esque video treatment. idc how many years it’s been since electra hearts death dig that bitch up from her grave and give it to me!!!!

 

 

The way Electra died without releasing something for VOTD and Teen Idle really hurts me but tbh I think the era went the way it should've gone. She showed her brightness, her dark side, her level. She served emotional feelings, signature and a feel of sadness in the way the era should have ended. Marina did every step perfectly. No one can serve an era like she did at the time

The fact that Electra died by sleeping pills and she didn’t make a VOTD mv is just... There was so much there.

I actually think there was a lot more potential in Electra Heart visually that she just didn’t go through with (especially when it comes to the archetypes since we didn’t really get much for housewife and teen idle). Budget might be an issue as well, of course. But some songs that she used her budget for didn’t really give us anything *story* wise. I always felt like after SUBARBIEA her vision for EH that she had kinda died.

Not to say the videos after aren’t good or don’t have depth but parts 1-5 definitely had more of a focus on the idea of taking these archetypes, this character, and trying to understand them- a study in identity and illusion if you will.

She literally left undone stitches with that era...

Electra Heart has GREAT aesthetics and visuals, both in video form and pictures, but has no actual story 

 

like we actually known nothing about EH besides from the fact that she died which is something that Marina said AFTER the whole thing was done

 

all the videos are inconclusive and stand-alone and have no connection to each other 

 

it’s a shame cause she could’ve done an actual story like Cry Baby or Kid A but at the same time I don’t care

Kinda random but did we ever get the song that Marina captioned as “emotional machine” in a post but had a completely different melody and it was with a weird instrument? It was like way at the beginning of the era nothing had been announced yet 

[KeybladeMeister 6,486]

NGL, I'm tired of getting these crumbs of information. 

 

We need an album preorder/announcement and a second single. It's coming up to 5 months since Man's World was released.

I am cautiously optimistic, I believe she is taking a little bit (or way) longer because she is ACTUALLY the main producer or co-producer of the whole album and she is really hands on on the making of the album, the sound, the mixing and etc. The way she wasn't on L+F (it was a cute experiment on being on the passenger seat instead of behind the wheel, that's it).

 

Either way, I will never forgive her for making the MUNA remix the b-side and make us all wait so long to reveal that. It's a great remix tho, but still... Thank god I waited for the reveal and didn't spend a coin, it was too good to be true.

She should learn from Aly & AJ, they are releasing and album next month and  they have released 3 singles in the last 5 months and every single has been released on vinyl, each one with an exclusive b-side (either an outtake or a cover). I believe MARINA is someone who actually records more songs than she reveals or releases, ugh. God bless the leakers.

They must have been really really proto demos, like when there was no idea of LF, etc...

 

but I’m sure there’s SOMETHING out there, cause we have gotten a lot of leaks from that period so where are those?

i dont think there’s a storyline in the same way as cry baby but i do think there is a little something there, especially chronologically where we see marina transition into this character (cutting her hair in pt 1, putting on the blonde wig in pt 2 and seemingly running away to become a new person, pt 3 recognizing that shes electra heart now, and pt 4 and 5 is her living the life of electra and exploring these female archetypes).  obviously the videos after subarbiea are her playing the electra heart character too but the concept of exploring these archetypes seemed to die. which is a real shame since she had so much going for it as seen by the casper balslev shoot and her iconic tumblr and seemingly so much inspiration (marilyn, cindy, britney, sylvia, old hollywood, americana, old films shows and books, etc.) were endless.

anyway sorry for my rambling sksks the electra heart aesthetic was just...untouchable! 
lana and marina really need to take some notes from ms melanie tho cause as amusing as it is to see her use everything she has at least we see her attempting to use all her potential 

when will lana and marina make a vinyl ep of extra songs that didnt get physical releases from their era?? evol, just desserts, living dead, eh, lhc, and bts are just collecting dust and for what??? for what????

i would’ve loved if the b side was the stripped version but the REMIX 

[Glitter Boy 16,558]

Suddenly I woke up today feeling extra enthusiastic about her album  I hope she officially announces it soon. Something tells me it can't be that far away.

She's dropping the new single into few weeks, that's sure. I hope it's Venus Fly Trap because that's the best snipped she teased so far

TOTALLY unrelated but did you like Man's World?

I listened to it on repeat the other day !! For like 10 times...

I think the song itself is good but the production is too generic (tho not as generic as LF, but still) and it could really use something more alternative... I truly think her production peaked with FROOT cause it suits her voice perfectly and I kinda like that synth pop/borderline dream pop vibe 

 

but yeah I did like it overall it’s a good song (and it’s also pretentious with the lyrics which is definitely Marina)
