I mean if we take all her lead singles:

 

Obsessions

Radioactive

Froot

HH

Man’s World

 

I personally rank them like this

 

1. Froot

2. Radioactive

3. Obsessions

4. Man’s World

5. HH

 

Froot is undoubtedly one her of best songs if not THE best song in her discog

primadonna was the lead for electra heart, radioactive was a promo single.

oh I had no idea lol

 

but yeah that makes more sense cause radioactive isn’t really representative of EH 

[evalionisameme 13,889]

I mean I’d rank the leads as:

Froot 

Primadonna 

Handmade Heaven 

Obessions 

Mans World 

[evalionisameme 13,889]

If we’re talking top Electra heart:

Buy the Stars 

Bubblegum B*tch 

Valley of the Dolls 

Sex Yeah 

Homewrecker

FROOT was so iconic  idk if I just miss all the 2015 releases so much (like Honeymoon and Art Angels too), or if it really was that good to everyone else.

I think all the 2015 releases really brightened up my life when I needed it. 

 

I love the colour this era has in it maybe for that reason. I hope this is her best era but I am not sure if she can top FROOT or the groundbreaking EH tbh, especially with lyrics that are more risky in these times. 

[evalionisameme 13,889]

The only mistake I will except in my ranking is hypocrates over homewrecker, I personally find mans world to be 2014 white feminism

Yeah. 10 songs? Give me 40 minutes at least. Man's World and Purge the Poison are already below 3:30, so I'm wishing some 4:40-5:00 songs there, although I kinda doubt it, since songs from Love + Fear were also from average to short in length.

[Furor Poeticus 16,359]

I don't why but I thought the title track was like 5min long. Maybe that came to me in a dream or sumn

FROOT was Marina at the peak of her creativity, she truly put all of herself in that record and you can feel it in every single aspect 

 

the visuals are amazing, FROOT’s cover is probably one my favorite covers of all time and every single shoot/single cover from that era feels inspired but at the same time original and creative 

 

the tracks are all incredibly cohesive sonically and thematically and she showcases the entirety of her voice range, from her deep, androgynous low range (Happy, Solitaire, Froot) to her light, bright high range (Blue, Immortal, Savages) 

plus the rollout was actually interesting and she managed to carefully craft every aspect of it

 

Take the vinyl for instance, she released a black vinyl to represent coal and a white vinyl to represent diamonds (she mentions coal and diamonds multiples times, both in TFJ and in FROOT)

 

the froot of the month things was also really interesting and engaging and showed she actually cared about what she did

 

 

i can’t speak for all of Ancient Dreams but from what we know from this rollout she shown us she doesn’t really care about engaging with her fans the same way she did

 

the music is also not up to par with froot

 

so no there’s no topping froot but at least it’s an improvement

this rollout has been a nightmare, at least with L + F everything came out over the span of about 2 months.

she literally refuses to engage with fans and she'll let it be known  which isn't a good look when you're an artist that solely relies on having a fanbase to be successful

[Desert lamp 1,789]

Obsessions

FROOT

Primadonna

Man's World

Hanmade Heaven

 

 

Obsessions is also her best song but some of y'all may be not ready for this conversation

Yes! I loved the rollout of FROOT. And as it was the first album release after I became a fan in 2013, it really showed me how engaging and artistic she was. 

 

Now I'm hands down believing that Ancient Dreams won't top it, but I am still loving the reminiscence. I really hope we get more personal tracks that aren't as basic as most in L+F

Same for Obessions actually. Mowgli's road was the "official" lead single.

She obviously had to manage the promotion for the album because the label didn't want to. For some weird reason, they didn't have faith in this record (probably after the commercial success of Electra Heart; still I don't get it). That's how Froot of the Month was born I suppose.

 

Anyway, LOL @ FROOT being Marina at the peak of her creativity. Electra Heart who. It's probably the only concept album she'll have ever done, unfortunately, and the only one having so many references and inspirations. Now she seems more inspired by social media posts rather than classic literature.

 

As for engagement, she probably felt really destroyed after the fandom loathed Love + Fear. Twitter stans literally diss her over and over, and she even used to post hand-written letters to us right before L+F came (they were really cute), sending wishes, writing how much the wait was gonna be worth it and so on... let alone the Marinabook thing and her Instagram posts with giant explanations what the L+F singles were about. I hope she'll get better after Ancient Dreams, which I'm sure the fandom will love, dunno about the critics though; depends on who is going to make a review.
