I'm a Ruin
I know that I can't have it all But without you I am afraid I'll fall I know I'm playing with your heart And I could treat you better but I'm not... See the rest of the song lyrics

    Blending the light touch of her backing band with selectively applied electronic elements, Marina gives a more refined take on songs that in her past might have been layered in obtrusive electropop production or overwhelming string arrangements.

    It’s one of the most complex pop albums of recent years, and like any great steamroller mind, she can’t quite contain herself.

    With the pop landscape becoming increasingly homogeneous, more artists need to experiment, and the variety displayed across Froot's 12 tracks is impressive.

    She is an artist who knows who she is, and Froot luxuriates in the confidence that we do, too, relaxing in the space and power that Diamandis has claimed.

    Froot is another big, unabashed pop album astutely balanced with sufficient melancholy and restraint to stop it from all getting too Katy Perry. [May 2015, p.77]

    Flawed as it may be at times, Froot emerges as Diamandis’ strongest album to date, mainly because it’s the first one that strongly stamps her own personality on proceedings.
  7. 50
    This is Diamandis’ break-up album in more ways than the romantic sense. She also severs ties with popular expectation, and the end result is regressive rather than revolutionary.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. FROOT é mais uma das provas da constante evolução de Marina. Segundo ela não só como artista, mas também como pessoa.Reflete uma Marina pronta para ser colhida como diz a letra da faixa que dá nome ao trabalho. O álbum de indie pop, terceiro da carreira da cantora pode ser visto como uma intersecção entre o excêntrico The Family Jewels (sua estreia) e o pop irônico do Electra Heart. Nele tivemos queimadas as roupas e perucas dos arquétipos. Despida desses itens Marina resolveu criar algo singular.A começar pela divulgação: uma "froot" (que representaria um single) por mês até o lançamento do álbum em junho,mas devido a vazamentos ela resolveu adiantar o álbum e por isso muita gente acabou conferindo antes da data prevista.Mas agora com o lançamento o álbum já pode ser conferido em diversas plataformas.Tudo nele foi cuidadosamente lapidado, dos vocais que liricamente passeiam pelas belas letras aos instrumentais que as envolvem. A galesa escreveu as letras quando passou por um período mais recluso.Os temas variam, da solidão a terrível natureza humana repletas de verdades e críticas. Para conferir a sonoridade contou com a ajuda de um único produtor (David Kosten). Seu pedido? Que basicamente não houvesse tanta diferença entre a gravação de estúdio e a apresentação ao vivo.
    “Não é sobre ser pop ou não, eletrônico ou não, é mais sobre o sentimento do groove na música e sabendo que são músicos reais tocando.Eu acho que é algo que eu venho tentando traduzir por um longo tempo."
    Funcionou, entre "frootas" mais doces e outras mais ácidas cada uma traz uma energia diferente, algo que vicia e nos faz querer mais. Os instrumentos orgânicos dão detalhes a cada canção, resultando nessa viagem hipnótica aos sentimentos da "feirante".

    If you enjoy this album I would recommend an album even better than FROOT, Night Time, My Time by the artist of our generation, Sky Ferreira, or even if you didn't enjoy this album I would still highly recommend it.
