Not listened to the Fear side yet but I agree that it sounds like a regression so far based on Love. Orange Trees had me really confused.
I think pop is what's she's always wanted to do though tbh. The Electra Heart era only went for the 'it's ironic' route after it wasn't the big pop hit they wanted and lost the more indie pop fans The Family Jewels gained her. The whole rebrand they gave her image wise was so odd and a weird way to justify the more mainstream pop sound. Even the name change is giving her a regular pop image, Marina and the Diamonds kept her very firmly in the British pop singer-songwriter lane. It's where she should have stayed really, and not in a shady way - Ellie Goulding is the perfect comparison! She was huuuge here just with her first album. I get being ambitious though, record labels just suck. On a personal note, I think for all her insistence on her making better music now she's happy... Her best album is still her first where basically every song is about anxiety in some form. Unfortunately I think Electra Heart was her label pop record, Froot the fixing it album, and unfortunately I think this is just what she wants her music to sound like ![]() |

Enjoying the discussion here! Unfortunately I can't contribute much because I've only been able to listen through FEAR once, but I find it interesting you guys have brought up the lyrics because this is not the first time I've heard this about LOVE+FEAR. A friend who is a die hard Marina fan told me that she keeps oversimplifying her lyrics.
relmy, what about Orange Trees had you confused? Also, thank you message included in the album, with a blurb at the bottom dedicated to the fans(she even put a dedication to her cats ![]() Spoiler:

I was confused by how simple and lyrically uninspired it was! For something that was meant to be about the joy and beauty of going to your family home it was... bland.

Yes I understand!! If she hadn't explained on social media, I never would have been able to tell it was about a special place to her.
- Setlist from 1st night @ Newcastle: Spoiler:
Too many pics to reupload but from Marina's twitter:https://twitter.com/MarinaDiamandis/...07661782503424 and a thread from a fan: https://twitter.com/MarinaAlerts/sta...06738301689856 |

Marina announced tour dates in West-Europe and I am happy to say I will see her on November 11th in Tilburg.
It's quite a small venue, means more chances to get close to the stage. I really can't wait!

Sorry but the acoustics are very lack-lusting. I was hoping she would do like the sessions with Electra Heart. The Lies acoustic still hits me hard everytime. Such an amazing arrangement.

Despite not being very fond of the new acoustics, I am super duper enjoying the video for Superstar Acoustic. It's very beautiful + I am startin' to enjoy this acoustic because of it.

Don't know if you guys had the chance to come across the new PV posted last night on Youtube by error and made private few minutes after.
Purge The Poison is SO GOOD. Like The Family Jewels meets FROOT. Cringe lyrics though but we were to expect them haha... I really liked Man's World and it was a welcomed change after the LOVE+FEAR era. But this one is a step closer to what makes her great. The PV in itself is really cheap but in a good way! They did wonders. It premieres in few hours : |
