It’s a shame really, as it was a good album. When I saw her on tour last year, there were quite a lot of people in their 40s-60s there so maybe songs like ‘Gold’ just weren’t appealing to her main audience? Maybe this will though. I mean, I personally think voluntarily swinging off a digger when you’re pregnant is pretty cool to be honest but she could do with another cross-over hit like ‘Only Love…’ again.

I’ve just heard the clip from this and honestly, I’m already hooked. I can’t wait, Paloma always delivers.

SGE7buky0Gg I have to say that this is outstanding in my opinion.

First time hearing this yesterday, that chorus is so catchy!

The sound is very classic Marina but I love the principle behind it, the lyrics are politically charged and the visuals are stunning. I enjoyed it on first listen!

I quite liked her last album, although whilst I understood the concept, I feel like she like she could have made one shorter album with just the stronger tracks. I still love Orange Trees and Karma. Really excited to hear this. Queen’s on her way to save 2020.

I've given this album a spin a couple of times and it sounds good! Mind you I've liked all her albums she's put out. 'Falling Down' remains my favourite and possibly one of my favourite tracks she's ever made, there's just something so catchy, yet a bit eerie about it. Both the instrumental and her vocals sound great on it.

She did a great performance of ‘Gold’ on Jonathan Ross this week! Hopefully that will push a few more sales.

Can’t wait to listen to this later!

Marina on her way to save 2020! Can’t wait!

This to be honest - And they’re three very different songs. Gold is a a feel good banger that I’m sure many people need to hear right now! Falling Down is great and Better Than This is truly special IMO. Excited for the album as she always delivers. I’ve pre-ordered my copy!

I love this! Very instant and powerful, but she always delivers for me. It sounds like a song that contestants will sing on the final of talent shows. Can’t wait to see what the album has in store, I’ve loved all her lead singles! For me: Stone Cold Sober Better Than This Crybaby (Loyal) Picking Up The Pieces Can’t Rely on You (Ready for The Good Life) But I love all of them!

Really liking this! Even more than 'Hold Back The River' but not quite as much as 'Need The Sun To Break'... yet.

I've never been a fan of 'TiK ToK' but I've loved virtually everything else she's put out!

Music video: asYfhMHAgqs I know he might not be the most popular person ever but I've always found him very talented as a singer, and his music videos are normally quite good IMO.

I think Syco got it wrong with her, and RCA got it even more wrong. She was getting the hits with songs from her first album but now it feels like Syco sold her off down the river for a few cheap hits. That said, I did like many of her songs. 'All Night Long' and 'The Silence' were great and I still regularly listen to both. The other hits were catchy but didn't really do anything to build her image and have aged quite badly really. Her second album I actually quite enjoyed, but it felt quite half hearted or if she wasn't completely invested in it. 'Let It Go', 'Elephant' and 'Tonight' were all bops but faceless. I remember the last song on that album being quite impressive, but it would never be a hit. She was obviously very popular when she was a contestant on X Factor and I think she had a good crossover appeal. She was cool and contemporary but had a voice that also appealed to the older generation. Maybe they should have gone down the Paloma Faith type route (but with different songs) and release a variety of tracks that appeal to younger and older markets but ultimately have it work together to build up a solid fan base. She certainly had the personality to back her voice up too.

I am kinda sad Ryan-Mark has gone, he was never going to win but he gave me some laughs. The dressing gown in the paddling pool :lol: He was hilarious on 'You're Fired' too. I am living for Lottie at the moment. I mean, she is coming across as hideous, but she does come up with great ideas. I also really like Scarlett. Not a massive fan of Carina though. Ordering like 7 bottles of wine per person was silly and nearly cost them the task! Not a fan of Thomas, though he was a little better in the episode just gone. And Dean might as well be invisible.

I love the verses and the bridge. The chorus is average on first listen. Excited for this era though, she looks great!

I love Lana’s part, but that’s because I love her voice. It doesn’t naturally fit with the song but somehow it works, for me anyway. They all have such star quality but this song and video can only be a good thing for Lana.

This is great news! Melodrama is one of my favourite albums of recent times so I am hyped for this!

Although I didn’t vote, it was very nice to ‘Teenage Dream’ as number 1. It would have been nicer to see ‘Wide Awake’ a little higher.
