After bustling, somewhat edgy "The Family Jewels" and the pop-grenade "Electra Heart" the latest work of the Briton now has so appeared. She has changed her style again clearly and sounds still one hundred percent to Marina.
This time, maybe even as much as ever, but she has written all the songs in the total single-handedly (a rarity in today's pop business) and in production only the support of a producer, David costs saved. In the very first track of the album, "Happy", showered Marina her heart and sings from their long search for happiness, which has ultimately still gathered at her after she had harbored doubts about whether they can ever be happy ,
Ironically, the title track then fits very little in the overall picture of the album, he sounds more colorful, lively and above all danceable than the other songs. Although I "Froot" like very much, I am very happy that not the whole album sounds so because true Marina, which I appreciate so much is revealed rather in songs like "I'm A Ruin" or the same time euphoric as something melancholy pop highlights "Blue" and "Forget".
In the second album half waiting for the British with other highlights on: So her a song with "Solitaire", which might gewöhnungsbedürftigsten number of "Froot", succeeded in that the feeling of sweet solitude captures very skillfully and beautifully. With "Savages" then builds the first time since a long time clearly heard on her debut at; The text, however, is a bit heavy on the stomach. With "Immortal" will "Froot" his atmospheric climax and a more than worthy final.
Conclusion: Unlike the two previous albums, but similarly well. Marina can not go wrong.
My highlights:
Savages
Solitaire
Blue
Forget
I'm A Ruin
