February 3, 201510 yr I'm with him tbh. Haven't seen the video yet but Immortal >>> Froot >>>>>>>>>>> This.
February 3, 201510 yr Froot>>I'm A Ruin>>>>>>>Happy>Immortal The latter are pretty on par with each other but none of the tracks are below 8/10 for me
February 3, 201510 yr I have really struggled to properly get into anything post-'Froot' and i'm not sure why :( I think they might work better in the context of a whole album for me, but as standalone tracks there is little bringing me back for repeated listens. I can see a very cohesive album could be coming but I guess i suppose happier, more upbeat Marina in terms of single releases. The video for this isn't the best either except for the final minute. The first part is like a stage-school reenactment of Madonna's 'Frozen'.
February 3, 201510 yr shocked at the reaction to this. by FAR the best thing from this era but i'm really getting into all of them now, excited for the album if she keeps this quality up.. im a ruin >>>>>>>>>>>> happy >>>>> froot >>>>>> immortal
February 3, 201510 yr In what world is I'm a Ruin "basic". Only on buzzjack. Run off back to bjsc. Wonderful video. The look with the orange glitter at the corners of her eyes against the dusk is everything.
February 3, 201510 yr This is connecting with me so much recently! I thought I loved Happy but this is something else, incredible. I'm A Ruin >>> Happy >> Froot > Immortal Immortal is still 8.5/10 tbh.
February 3, 201510 yr tbh this era feels much more sophisticated and mature than The Family Jewels (pretending Electra Heart didn't exist in this post~). And while I am loving everything she's been releasing so far, something has been missing. Something that made TFJ one of my favourite albums ever. I just hope the whole record will make more sense than Froots of the month separately.

I just hope the whole record will make more sense than Froots of the month separately. That's what I'm hoping too. I think TFJ had a really strong character, so did Electra Heart - though a weaker one. I'm hoping it'll make sense in full, too. And she hasn't revealed any of her upbeat tracks yet (apart from Froot). I'm only liking 50% of what I've heard so far, but 'Froot' and especially 'I'm a Ruin' certainly make up for the other two for me. I'm a ruin is a real grower, though I prefer the shorter version.
February 3, 201510 yr I still prefer the younger, brattier Marina. I'm a Ruin just sounds generic to me. Must need my ears syringed judging by the reactions round here. Liked Froot and Immortal but not to the same extent I adored Fear and Loathing and just about all The Family Jewels.
February 3, 201510 yr Electra Heart is better than TFJ (although TFJ is still a pretty damn brilliant album, it's on my top 40 of all time), but I'm glad she's reverting the sound back a bit. However it sounds like the album as a whole will be different again, which is what I love about Marina. Given how much I adore the first two albums, I'm not going to let myself think that Froot will be as good but it will be perfect if everything keeps to more or less to this standard! I know it won't, because they've obviosuly picked the best to release before the album I imagine but my excitement could not be higher regardless!
February 3, 201510 yr If it's generic, what else does it sound like? I dunno it just doesn't have that much of a spark for me. Just a start quiet build into the big chorus type of thing. Maybe I'll warm to it.

I think Marina's two personal preferences of what is best on the album are not even froots!
February 4, 201510 yr This song is currently everything to me. It's really, really beautiful. The video is stunning too! Very Loreen-esque, I agree.
February 6, 201510 yr Played three times on radio 1 now. Seems they're liking it! If it is the single, they may playlist it.
February 17, 201510 yr Greg James just played this on Radio 1 and confirmed a 'release' for the 22nd of March. Edited February 17, 201510 yr by Joe.
