5 more months which means Froot was indeed a buzz track and the lead single should arrive sometime in January. Bring it on Marina!!

She's going to be releasing 1 track a month for the next 6 months. I wouldn't be surprised if there is no official single, knowing marina.
Album is up for preorder on iTunes for $7.99. There track list has lengths for 6 tracks, so I guess those are the ones she'll be releasing before the street date

A couple of cool Old Hollywood shots, but yeah, underwhelming. At least the (full) song is on Spotify now.

Marina needs to focus on her music and quit trying to come up with cutesy gimmicks. Her first album was good because she wasn't trying so some elevated low brow shit with it. It was weird and it was her. Electra heart seemed really contrived, and this is shaping up the same way.

Did you read her interview on The Line of Best Fit? it seems as if it's a natural progression from TFJ. I'm excited for new Marina while I prefer EH over TFJ there are some true gems on the latter.

LOVE Marina, so I'm excited to see how she does this era. I also agree that this next era gravitates more toward the sound of The Family Jewels.

Is she still working on the album? Or is it done and they're just sitting on it until May?
And LOL @ that tracklist. It's very her.

"Froot" is so damn good.
Her first album was such a masterpiece. Electra Heart is solid, but was kind of a step backwards even if it's understandable what she was trying to achieve with it.

No shade, but Marina feels to me what Gaga would be today if she hadn't blown up as huge as she did. Solid, inventive pop music (mostly in minor key) just outside the mainstream, wrapped in interesting concepts. I love the Gaga we do have, but they seem like interesting counterparts.

I've always liked her music, but I'm admittedly not too aware of her "shtick." So is there a reason why posting the lyric "I'm plump and ripe" alongside a picture of her curvy figure isn't arrogant? I'm not sure what meaning that could have other than "Look how plump and ripe--and thus hot when you deconstruct the fruit metaphor--I am."
I do like the song, though.

It's definitely not what I was expecting for an album opener, but it's a really nice song.

I feel like that really closes up the Electra Heart era beautifully.

iTunes US: 7. Marina and The Diamonds - Immortal How did that happen??? :o :o Even if it's just an instant grat effect it's great exposure for her. Unfortunately, though, I don't care for either Happy or Immortal. Froot remains a masterpiece and a nice progression sound-wise for her so hopefully there will be more songs like that one on the album cause I'm not here for the ballads thus far.

She is just releasing one track every month till the album comes out which is smart and nice of her. I don't know when she will release a real single though. Also I love all the songs we've heard so far. It seems she is going back to her roots which is great. I'm so happy people are noticing her songs as well :)

Electra Heart definitely gave her some kind of boost stateside. She's nowhere near a pop star, but she's definitely more known of than she was before.

She had an exchange on Twitter with a fan who was upset about people listening to the leak, basically Marina said that if people were interested enough in her new music to listen to it in LQ and couldn't wait for the HQ version, that was OK with her. It's refreshing for an artist to care more about having their music heard than making every possible penny from it.
