i think it's very plausible for MATD4 to be very greek/japanese-garden-art-centric in theme actually idk, something about a combination of her sophistication recently and the colors she's been associating her images with lately

from these posts i've gathered that within the process of her writing this music, she's needed to experience life away from the limelight and take in the beauty of the world. fully experience and draw contrast from "the painting that is life". I believe this era is going to be very Artistic, Sophisticated, and very personal. It just seems like she has spent a lot of time gathering experiences and living so that she can channel it into her music. + it looks like she's taken up art and gardening as time fillers. She could talk about the artsy parts of life, and also about the garden that is life and talk about how each flower is beautiful in it's own way and thats why theres nothing wrong with you.

 

an Amphora is a greek art piece and that seems very prominent recently.

 

 

Sound-wise i see this album as being a combination of TFJ and Disconnect's production. While at the same time being stripped back. But also i see it containing songs that are very dreamy and ocean-like. as in the video linked above

i hope i dont come off as overthinking... i mean i provided TONS of examples

Oh no, you definitely don't! Sorry if what I said made it seem that way. I hope you're right with your predictions for the new era because with your examples, it all works together so perfectly.

im glad u did bc Marina is really hard at guessing where her direction is going to be. Like from TFJ to EH, EH to FROOT, those jumps in sound and aesthetics were surprising and very unpredictable, and after FROOT being her "this is everything i have to offer" album, what else is there for her to show aesthetically?

 

ie: what i mean to say is that for example, after UV,  Lana has been  predictable with the route shes going, but for marina, its a bit difficult to crack down on

I agree with what the user above commented. 

 

Personally I feel that MATD4 will focus on some or all of the following:

• Japanese imagery - her travels to Japan (multiple times!) show that she is definitely inspired by the beautiful country
• Ancient Greek imagery - she has posted a few Greek-related images following the FROOT era, plus it is her ancestry and she can speak the language
• Nature - this would flow well from FROOT and also fit well with the Japanese imagery, e.g. cherry blossoms, autumn trees
• Psychology - including ideas related to personality psychology, identity, appearance, since these are the sub-disciplinary areas she has posted a lot about online
• Politics - Marina has made some explicitly political statements on social media as of late, e.g. condemning UK PM, following the UK Green Party on Twitter, retweeting criticisms of Trump, etc., which could influence her outlook in her music
• Moving on from the past - finding enjoyment in life and being authentic, sort of like in the song, 'Happy'
• Self-care - this seemed to be a theme present in a lot of her MarinaBook posts & probably relates to her newfound love for Psychology which perhaps has taught her techniques to take care of yourself and be healthy
• Collaborations - her photo with Lana and Jack Antonoff as well as her documented co-writing collaborations
• Her love life - Marina has been in a stable relationship with her bf, Jack, for years now and I think this might translate into some sweet and genuine love songs (hopefully!)    - for essentially the first time ever in her discography!
• Philosophy - Marina follows some philosophy pages online, plus she has already demonstrated her philosophical thinking in songs like Savages
• Sociology - social commentary would make a lot of sense in the current global political climate especially seeing as she lives in the UK where she has posted about sociopolitical issues occurring; plus she has written songs like Sex Yeah before which could be considered pieces of sociological thinking

Essentially, I think Marina has done a lot of soul-searching while on her break from music. She's travelled, she's found love, she's been studying at university and discovering new interests like Psychology, flowers/nature, etc., and making a lot more political statements on social media and looking into philosophy too. I really think all of these things she's been focusing on will influence her music in some way or another....

 

 

Or she could just write a whole album about her cats

This was my exact thought as of a song too!!!

When I feel shit (Which is 24/7), I lock myself in my room, turn off the lights and play the whole The Family Jewels, so I can vent. I fucking love that album, All the songs are literally my goddamn life.
