FINALLY growing on me

 

I think I'd replace my "safe" and "more of the same" descriptions with "understated" now

:cheer: :yahoo:

 

Which songs in particular are growing on you?

In a few weeks you'll like most of the album with just a few niggling parts that remind you of old songs.

Just a best of compilation I made the other day:

 

01. Primadonna

02. Mowgli's Road

03. I Am Not a Robot

04. Power & Control

05. Savages

06. Obsessions

07. I'm a Ruin

08. Froot

09. Hollywood

10. Oh No!

11. Radioactive

12. Shampain

13. Teen Idle

14. Happy

15. Immortal

 

Obviously if I could I would include every single Marina song out there, but I think this pretty much covers her "best" and "most popular" songs. A 20-track version would further include:

 

16. Are You Satisfied?

17. Hermit the Frog

18. Lonely Hearts Club

19. Forget

20. Scab & Plaster

 

Yesterday was the first day I played no Marina songs for two and a half weeks. :o
I think I've reached the point where I enjoy a different froot track every day. Today is Can't Pin Me Down :wub:

Great reviews in this week's NME / Q magazines. Shame she's getting no commercial support at a time where she's at the height of critical support.

 

Jezabel also posted a very indepth look at Froot today which is insightful and interesting - http://themuse.jezebel.com/what-happens-wh...dium=socialflow

Great - thanks for those photos Joe.

 

Immortal really hit my today but the rest are starting to lose their shine. I took two days away from it and when I went back I was expecting too much, possible. I may even have overplayed the whole thing :(

I wasn't a fan of Marina and the Diamonds at all, I didn't like her voice, I thought their songs all sounded the same and were pretty boring, one of my friends is a massive Marina fan and has been trying to get me to listen to 'Froot' for ages, she even sent me some of the singles before the album was released (froot of the month or something?) anyway I remember hearing some of them and thinking ah they are okay, I still wasn't really liking Marina's voice though.... anyway I listened to the whole album just there after hearing Blue the other day and surprisingly I really liked it, there are some songs on the album I really can't listen to again - more the slower ones like Happy and Solitaire but the majority of the album I liked enough to add to my Spotify collection, especially Blue, Forgotten, Weeds and Savage and once you listen to a few songs, Marina's voice does grow on you :wub:

Hopefully Marina's comments on Tidal don't get her killed. I would never directly slate the illuminati.
What did she say?

 

 

It's on her Twitter. Saying she's suspicious of it basically it being a money making scheme for only upper tier artists.

Edited by Joe.

It's weird because I just started my free trial (not really worth the effort, it's not that good) and Froot came up as one of the first albums in the pop section. That visibility *_*
I don't think she's going to get assassinated just yet.
