April 3, 20196 yr boo so basically they're repeating the same (failed) strategy used with Froot, releasing 6 trackxsbefore the album but without really pushing anything, won't work again Why not? She's never going to have huge mainstream success (sadly) so she might as well release her music the way she wants, unconventional as it may be.
April 3, 20196 yr "To Be Human" will be released next Friday. View this post on Instagram The entire 'Love' side of the album is apparently releasing on Friday. Edited April 4, 20196 yr by blacksquare
April 4, 20196 yr I grew to really quite love 'Handmade Heaven', 'Superstar' is a bit basic/vacuous but I still kind of enjoy it and she's lost me at 'Orange Trees'. But I still have hope for the other material!
April 4, 20196 yr haha opposite for me, Orange tree is the only one that I semi-like, but so far, none of the songs is a 10/10 for me :/ not even close
April 4, 20196 yr Does this mean LOVE can now chart as an album? Or is this still not eligible to chart until its released as a whole project on the 26th.
April 4, 20196 yr Orange Trees sounds soooo much better in the context of this, it's really hit me :wub: To Be Human is brilliant too, the most classic Marina we've heard from this era to date.
April 4, 20196 yr I think the latter! Enjoy Your Life// True are the BOPs I've been waiting for and are better than the first 3 songs. To Be Human is a beautiful song too.
April 4, 20196 yr Well, at least we don't have to wait for (hopefully) the superior side of the album because this is forgettable and insipid. The lyrics are embarrassing for someone I would consider a decent lyricist — basic and empty platitudes over thin Spotify-friendly production. There is absolutely no bite and I have heard everything here before. The last two tracks are more sonically interesting at least. It's all so disposable, which isn't something I have ever said about a Marina project.
April 4, 20196 yr Messy lyrics have always been Marina’s thing tbh. Perhaps I need to relisten and reassess, but I don't remember them being this basic. These read like something someone younger than Billie Eilish would come up with after a bad day.
April 4, 20196 yr end of the earth's production though! f***. i think this must be the best song on the album. The last 4 are all pretty amazing. Overall this is really good! Nothing groundbreaking like her 1st and 3rd records but farrrrrrr better than the Electra Heart mess I'd prefer forget ever happened~
April 4, 20196 yr but I think you can technically already chart if a certain number of songs is already available, cannot remember the exact rules tom walker's album showed in the mids one week before release and I think it was cos half the album tracks were already released
