MARINA (and The Diamonds)

Recommended Posts

Gold is such a carefree breezy song, I love it, it makes me feel really confident just the way she feels after some rough time

I, as much as many of you, don't hold L+F on a high pedestal compared to the rest of her discography, but it's not like she HAS to release a better album after a great or excellent past release, even her peers (Lana, Charli, Bat for Lashes, Poppy, Ellie, Allie X, Mitski, etc.) all of them have released at least one album that fans believe are not a worth follow up (two exceptions: BANKS because she has 3 albums only and all have been consistent in quality but she might release something in the future that people might not like, the other exception is Sky Ferreira, girl has NO bad album because in her 10+ years of career only has released one lol).

Fuck, even Björk and Kate Bush have one or two albums that are not flawless and we all know they are legendary singer-songwriters with powerful production skills and even tech savy (mixing, mastering...) and they are huge influences on Marina and her peers.

 

Every day I read someone saying shit about Weeds, Gold and L+F and it's kinda funny because they tolarate shit songs released by others but they forget that Marina is a human too hopefully around of the same age of you all (I'm 28, so I get her during her struggles as an adult around her age) and believe me... you see life differently, you get to stop seeing everything so black and white (the way she did on her first two albums) and you feel that need to just experiment on being carefree while also being confident and trying to hold your shit together avoiding being irresponsable. 

 

As much as I don't like Orange Trees as the rest of her songs, or as much as I believe that L+F is not her strongest piece of work, I feel so sure that all those songs and all those albums are worth being there in her discography because they are part of her growth as a person and as an artist. 

 

I'm sure one day I'll be in either Greece or Cancun and I'll play Orange Trees and feel just in the same fucking mood that Marina was when she wrote and recorded that song.

Froot has gotten stupid expensive on Discogs if you can even find a copy now. I fucked up not getting the white diamond copy earlier this year for $70


I dread to think how much my signed box set is worth now.

i really hope they get her as a guest judge for the third season on drag race uk.. if not the least they could do is a lip sync song, her music is perfect for it 

A few years ago, cannot recall when, there was a rumour that they were going to use FROOT for a lipsync. It was on some All Stars.

People believed (me included) because the insider who said it was right on everything they previously said about that season (lipsync songs, order of eliminations, etc).

idc im manifesting it into existence, marina will be on S3 and one of her songs will be used for a lip sync!!!

While I love Froot, I don't know if it is the best song to be lip synced to. Oh No! has big potential too.

 

Strangely, I always hated Oh no! and I never listen to it. I think it was a big mistake to put this single forward. But it's a fun song and Marina was funny in the clip (and yes I kinda miss that young and carefree part of her but time flies and so it is)

If we do get a Marina lipsync, I imagine it’ll be to IANAR, Hollywood, Oh No! or Primadonna since they are her only hits here

I adore the fact that with her new manager we get decent artworks for a stripped version or remixes. Jess could never. Using L+F album cover for absolutely everything besides HH single.

lmao as a Finn I find the title of the remix just a little bit ironic as the word 'muna' is Finnish for 'egg' but also 'dick' :defeated:
