    Do not be surprised if you start expecting great things of "Froot", I have to say that Marina managed to win me in his first tracks, however, this was short lived. Clearly the production in their work has increased considerably, however, in "Froot" is all very steady, safe, predictable and often bland.

    Although Marina have their moments, they are never entirely satisfactory, yet, we can get good music here, but unfortunately, none of them are strong enough to stand on the head when it's all over.    … Expand

    not so good as the previous album but i'm glad that marina finally found herself in music and stopped pretending to be another character which she actually wasn't. i really liked immortal, i'm a ruin & can't pin me down although gold and blue are rather weak.i think this album's pretty nice, 5/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. could be better, there's a way what means to us that the 50% percent of album's songs are ok. what a shame that the people who overrate her don't even think to raise up her sales.… Expand

    Froot is a very strange album. It is ashame to see such a downgrade in her work. Electra Heart was a decent album however Froot is only bearable. Marina could do better.

    After listening to her two previous projects, this one is clearly way better. I feel like she finally found her sound. More than half the songs are enjoyble, the most outstanding ones being "Froot", "Better Than That" and "Blue", which in my opinion, are the best three songs on the album. My favorite Marina album so far.

    In the end, Diamandis can't quite shape Froot into a coherent vision.

    After closing the door on her Electra Heart era, Marina Diamandis knew she needed to reinvent her persona. Froot achieves just that, adeptly flirting with chart sugar on the title track and “Better Than That” but more often than not, digging her heels into raw, nail-biting reality.

    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.
