March 22, 20196 yr This is... actually pretty bad. The "o-o-o-orange" bits especially. Is this what she's pushing as the single (next single)?
March 22, 20196 yr I'm probably alone on this but I can't stop listening to Orange Trees. It's just so laidback and fun. Nothing groundbreaking, but it works.
March 22, 20196 yr Insta advert has labelled it the next single. This is easily the most instant of the tracks so far, so good :D
March 23, 20196 yr Purely going off the tracklisting from the Apple Music preorder am I right in thinking that all the tracks we’ve heard so far are from the LOVE disc and we haven’t heard anything from the FEAR one yet? Maybe disc two will be more classic Marina. I can see Orange Trees being a bigish hit by her standards though. It’s basic but it’s catchy and with artists like Marina it’s usually their more basic stuff that’s their bigger hits. Handmade Heaven is still my favourite from the era so far. Album release date wise she’s releasing the same week as both Pink and Catfish and The Bottlemen. I do hope she keeps her top ten streak though. Edited March 23, 20196 yr by Jordan Lee

I wonder if the Fear side will be similar to some of the Electra Heart material like Living Dead, Power and Control or Lies? I don't see Orange Trees doing anything though; I think her days of getting a charting single are gone.
March 23, 20196 yr orange trees really is that BOP 11/10 handmade heaven 08/10 superstar 10/10 orange trees
March 23, 20196 yr I don't mind Orange Trees, it's quite carefree and effortless. It's really not very stand out though so I hope it's not actually the next best shot at a single from the album, it's nice but kinda just there really.
March 23, 20196 yr I'm afraid Orange Tree sounds like a Mabel z-side and a cynical attempt at a trend-chasing Spotify hit a la CHVRCHES recent non-masterpiece with lord of late 2010s tackiness Marshmello. Won't do anything so pointless. I miss the fun and eccentricity of songs like Mowgli's Road, Oh No and #200 smash Power and Control. Having said that, I've only heard it once yet it's kind of lodged in my head. This era seems very, very bland and beige so far though. Edited March 23, 20196 yr by Hiyaluv
March 24, 20196 yr I like ‘Orange Trees’ - It’s probably my favourite from this era so far. When I’ve listened to the three tracks she’s recently released, they kind of make me feel at peace/at ease. I think the love side of the album will be full of bops. Edited March 24, 20196 yr by Parallel Reality
March 24, 20196 yr The song, like handmade heaven, has grown on me with multiple listens. Not that keen on the ‘o-o-o-orange’ but as tawdry has pointed out. I think it’s time people stop expecting this to be another family jewels or Electra heart record. Her sound is now much more mellowed out, but still pop and melodic so fits marina’s brand. I am sure the record as a whole will still be great, Marina has never really been a singles artist (at least never translated into one :cry: )
March 27, 20196 yr A snippet of a new song was uploaded on her social media accounts. View this post on Instagram
March 28, 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
March 28, 20196 yr also why is this thread in indie whereas billie eyelash is in pop ich versteh nichts
March 28, 20196 yr i genuinely think to be human sounds amazing too i am just here for this era and will stop blind stanning eventually i promise
March 28, 20196 yr She's kinda lost me again oops. I still love 'Handmade Heaven' and I kinda liked 'Superstar' too but this new one isn't it. :( also why is this thread in indie whereas billie eyelash is in pop ich versteh nichts You have the power to move it don't you!!1
March 28, 20196 yr i do but i am never sure what the consensus is on her being pop or indie artist!! also my latest tattoo is basically marina inspired now bye queen of prediction
March 29, 20196 yr I don’t understand the lukewarm/poor perception of ‘Orange Trees’, I think it is positive and catchy!! I can’t get enough of it at the moment.
