One of my favorite threads on here was "Best Moments" in Lana's music, and I was wondering what your guys' are for Marina?

 

Some of mine are: When the "Oh"s in Bubblegum B**** pan between left and right; the breathy background vocals in the chorus of Enjoy Your Life; How she sings "For your loo-aa-oo-vee" in Froot's bridge; the intro synth or whatever to Girls; the birds in the Teen Idle instrumental.

The way she sings "Oh My God I think it's Karma" is so iconic. :defeated:

 

Also, the Savages outro. It's so good

There's so many I couldn't write them all down on here

 

my favorite line of hers in GMTM is "like two dumb dogs walking in circles, got a feeling was I just chasing the wrong tail, well it's better having your head stuck up your ass you can't fail". so clever omg :defeated:  :defeated:  :defeated:

 

Everything about the family jewels is amazing. The quirkyness, the experimental production , the interesting way in which she played around with narrative, the satire, the angst, the energy, and most importantly the fact that she sang about mental health before it was accepted and even praised.

 

also....CUCKOO  :cuckoo:  :cuckoo:  :cuckoo:

 

EH is super iconic. I love the sarcastic cheering ("feeling super super super") in Teen Idle, the line "got bubble wrap around my heart" in Living dead, the robotic voice used in Homewrecker, the emotional delivery of the lyrics, and the cynical approach to love throughout the album in an industry full of sugary love songs. Instead of writing your typical break-up song, Marina took her heartbreak and used it to make and full on anti-love album. What I also love are the EH pictures with the quotable lines that were on her website. When I go back to them I realize just how clever, witty, and sometimes downright hilarious they are.

the best moments in FROOT were the title track, happy, the visuals, the merchandise, and of course the godly neon nature tour  :crai:  :crai:  :crai:

everything about that tour was perfect. the costumes, marina's voice, the way each era was represented. also, the tracks from FROOT were great live and allowed for marina's vocals to shine  :oprah:

 

L+F has some highlights too. I love the dreamy sound of TBH especially on the second verse, and the impactful lines at the end of the song. I love the lyrics of the 1st verse of handmade heaven, and the "slow motion no sound" line of EOTE. I also absolutely love the baby MV and the dance she did towards the end of it.

 

The way she sings "Oh My God I think it's Karma" is so iconic. :defeated:

 

Iconic? nah....

 

doesn't compare to the superior line "omg my god you look just like shakira no no you're katherine zeta actually my name's marina"  :worship:  :worship:  :worship:

!!! I love how she's putting effort into making interesting merch you'd actually wanna wear. I was so disappointed when I saw the L+F merch because most of it were just pictures on a t shirt, but she's about to come thru with this collection!!

I love how there was a big song and dance about "Marina HQ" taking over her social media and now she's very clearly still handling it herself.

 

That "homewrecker" apron idea, though.
