MARINA (and The Diamonds)

[jaesana 4,481]

damn. i actually really liked ancient dreams, so I was looking forward to this new single

I have absolutely no idea where she got the idea that this was going to be a good song. incoherent, uninspired, wayyyy too long, sounding like someone trying to be influenced by hyper-feminine rap/pop (thinking of coco & claire claire) and just absolutely failing

[Embach 49,901]

Okay, so I listened to this song for the first time and the second the song started playing it instantly reminded me of this song, am I only one who heard that?

 

 

I think it's a fun and cute song in general, like I don't know for gym or parties or H&M stores but I can't see myself listening to it oftenly. My favorite part was the chorus, I kind of warmed up to the sped up vocals and the beat but I did not like the lyrics at all, I'm so sorry.  I know that the message was good and empowering but I found it a bit too cliché. The production was kind of like is Froot and Love + Fear albums had a child, perhaps I expected a clearer production.

 

But YouTube comments compared this song to The Family Jewels sonically and/or lyrically although I do not hear any kind influence from that era.

You are not lol

[Embach 49,901]

Holy shit I relistened and the first verse really reminds me of this French song, like in terms of melody

 

[histories 86]

I liked the live comments better than the video

[brandon 13,730]

just a bunch of nothingness. she looks great, but that is literally the only thing i can say about that video.

[Fireffie 3,791]

The aesthetic of the video is immaculate but I don’t understand the concept… what was she trying to convey ?? How is this supposed to be the lead single video 😭

Welcome to LOVE + FEAR Volume 2

genuinely.

i know everyone hates it but the ONLY part of the song i like even a little bit is the chorus. at least she tried something different with it. but god. the verses sound like the worst songs on L+F. no substance, boring melody, the most boring production one could possibly muster up. the bridge being her listing colors? girl whatever

[vrtvie 2,352]

Even this music video is as "interesting" as those random poses for L+F Acoutic videos. Damnit

 

Btw as I said before and I'm gonna repeat - the bridge is TERRIBLE. Marina listen to Starring Role, Forget, The Outsider or whatever and learn again how to make one properly

[AllForYou 1,852]

the bridge part was beautifully shot but I didn't like the makeup/face tape look on her, I don't think it suits her the same way it does on charli xcx for example

HELP-

Lana take notes

[Embach 49,901]

She is such a beautiful woman, everything about her is so gorgeous. I loved the colorful interior scenes. But why was she wearing a one knee high, it kind of bothered my ocd

[Furor Poeticus 16,521]

The post-FROOT should be studied 

At least the video is nice and she looks gorgeous 

[111 37,461]

great gowns beautiful gowns....

 

she clearly wants to make colourful empowerment songs... why can't she do the appropriate production for it with less on the nose lyrics? where's the sophistication, class and elegance? something like jessie ware... do well written, sexy, mature and empowering disco bops? i'd have said she could pull it off easy as FROOT was really close, but maybe she just doesn't have the vernacular or range anymore...

[brandon 13,730]

She went from songs with the prettiest most thoughtful lyrics, like Obsessions, Valley of the Dolls, or Happy, to…

 

Yeah I’m a Butterfly

Im Already High!

Watch my life go Bling! Bling!

So, I'm sayin', "Goodbye, goodbye"
Watch me shine like a star, like a star in the sky (Ah)
Now I'm leavin' you behind, behind

 

Literally this is preschool writing
