    Honestly, this is not only the album of the year for me, but it is one of my favorite albums that I have ever heard. I had incredibly high expectations for this album, especially after hearing the title track, and it did not disappoint but excelled. Do yourself a favor and listen to this record if you haven't already. It's amazing.

    FROOT is strong, fragile, beautiful, powerful and meaningful. I haven't heard a pop album so good as this one in years. Congrats, Marina, you did it..

    É um álbum maravilhoso, cada álbum da Marina difere-se um do outro. Incrível! Não há uma faixa "mais ou menos" ou "ruim", todas são maravilhosas.

    Marina realmente me surpreendeu com FROOT, é maravilhoso, envolvente e inovador, esse album tem vida própria. Traz tantos elementos dos anos 70, com um sugar pop maravilhosos e algumas melodias compostas em piano, consegue também ser psicodélico. Um album que te da vontade de ouvir do começo ao fim varias vezes sem cansar, eu não entendo como isso é possivel.

    Totalmente diferente do seu antecessor o aclamado "Electra Heart", Marina trás um material novo e um clima mais "refresh" e com músicas de sua própria autoria, a capacidade da Marina de compor tudo sozinha é admirável.

    I really really like this album. Marina has such an interesting and emotive voice, and her music is immediately accessible but still has its own distinct personality. Froot in particular has a darker and more mature sound than her previous albums. My personal favorites are Blue and I'm a Ruin, but most of the songs are pretty good.

    FROOT is just marvelous, im happy that she did not want to make another Pop mainstream record. She did what she wanted to do and besides, the lyrics are just amazing! Here we have a true artist who deserves a lot of success!

    Marina crafts an absolutely irresistible album that is full of charm, style and catchy hooks!

Froot plays at a great pace with energetic numbers like the title track to more organic indie rock tracks like "Forget" & "Savages" as well as nicely atmospherics ballads like "Immortal". Froot is a gorgeous listen and a real treat for fans!… Expand

    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.

    Increible album que ya goza de uno de los mejores puestos en mi estantería, no conocia apenas a Marina Diamandis, Electra Heart no llamó mi atención pero FROOT es un album redondo, crea paisajes, ambientes, es melancolico, energico y bailable a la vez! FAN TAS TI CO!

    Marina, sempre inovando e se mostrando cada vez mais criativa, intensa, cheia de ironias, e, finalmente, totalmente ela. Esse álbum é uma "segunda bíblia" sobre relacionamentos (ou o fim deles).

    YASSSS! O melhor álbum da Marina é "FROOT". Ela compôs/produziu todo o CD, que artista faz uma obra prima dessas nos dias de hoje?! Marina merece todo sucesso do mundo depois do "FROOT". Cada música é de uma forma pessoal e crítica, o que deixa ainda mais maravilhoso. Marina tem talento pra caramba, rainha!

    Ouvindo o Eletric Heart e logo após ouvindo Froot você percebe o crescimento da Marina como artista, como cantora, compositora e como ser humano. Froot é simplesmente incrível e com certeza veremos o álbum entre os indicados ao Grammy.

    I personally think she could have faired better if she had filled her basket with sweet juicy treats rather than sour grapes (see what I did there) but overall very well produced and charming. Download: Froot, Immortal, Happy

    Marina's been around for awhile and she's LONG overdue for her breakthrough. Whether that's Froot or not is beside the point because her "diamonds" will always be with her no matter where she goes.

Marina seems to feel more comfortable than ever on her new album, and you can really tell that. Her lyrical confidence is evident through the show-stopping Savages (her honest view of humanity), Weeds (an emotional, unique heartbreak song with a difference) and the captivating I'm A Ruin (which twists the heartbroken/heartbreaker to a whole new level). Topped off with sweeping ballads (Happy and Immortal - the opening and closing tracks) that are nothing but relatable, and a whole load of sass on Better Than That and Can't Pin Me Down. The title track is also a highlight, filled with so much juice as well as the the more commercial friendly track, Blue.

    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

    Although containing simpler production and arrangements than previous works, Froot is Marina stripped to her core. Sharp in social criticism. Elegant in human emotion. Edgy in instrumentation. Memorable content throughout. Highlights: I'm a Ruin, Blue, Solitaire, Savages, Immortal.

    Marina slayed once again with her new album, that includes most of her best songs ever in her career. Unfortunately, it's not being an easy month to Charli XCX fans, that got their ass kicked by Queenrina again. F*** off, Charli, I don't want dandruff.

    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.
