    The epitome of underrated female artist and album. There's already a couple of songs you'll be already hooked in, and then upon listening more to the album, you'll get hooked in with the rest.

    El mejor álbum de Marina, todas las canciones tienen su propio sello, sin ser menos comercial que su antecesor, FROOT es de esos álbumes que demuestran lo que un verdadero artista trae bajo su manga

    De longe o melhor albúm que ela já fez em toda a sua vida.O albúm é complexo, atemporal e memorável.As letras, além de perfeitamente compostas sob um olhar sentimental e único, são acompanhadas por um instrumental indie pop que combina muito com o conceito deste.Somente a Marina foi capaz de criar esta obra divina e sou grata por isso, sinto falta DESSA Marina!!!!.

    Listening to "Froot" is like circling all the parts of being human: you get to see yourself contemplating the joys and anguishes of being in tracks like "Happy", "Forget" and "Solitaire"; you're able to think about romantic relationships in "Froot", "I'm a Ruin" and "Blue" and you can perceive yourself as part of something so much bigger than you in "Can't Pin Me Down", "Savages" andListening to "Froot" is like circling all the parts of being human: you get to see yourself contemplating the joys and anguishes of being in tracks like "Happy", "Forget" and "Solitaire"; you're able to think about romantic relationships in "Froot", "I'm a Ruin" and "Blue" and you can perceive yourself as part of something so much bigger than you in "Can't Pin Me Down", "Savages" and "Immortal".

    All of the lyricism is perfectly followed by crafted and well-thought melodies and production, which makes Marina's words feel like a breath of fresh air. This album shows how far Marina has come. Lyrically, it's sharper than ever - and I must admit it feels good knowing all the songs were written exclusively by her. Sonically, it feels like a much better version of the originality she brought with "The Family Jewels".

    It feels right that Marina chose rainbow-patterned visuals for the album: it's diverse, vibrant and beautiful. Yet, unified and unique.    … Expand

    A contrasting shift from her previous work, Froot truly showcases Marina's lyrical talent and her full abilities when she's 100% in charge of a project.

    Finally I could hear FROOT!! I was anxious since its leak. First of all, the voice of Marina is extremely beautiful on this album, it seems like an angel echoing tones from Heaven.

    "Froot" is a mature album, single, quiet, personal and heavenly.

    "Froot" is a mature album, single, quiet, personal and heavenly. Marina worked in all compositions alone, coproducted with David Kosten and simply brought her best work in a matter of composition. The songs are complex, thoughtful and sometimes a kind of controversial.

    Certainly the peak of the album is "Happy", "Froot" and "I'm a Ruin" (which are the first three tracks), from "Blue" it will gradually losing its strength becoming a little tiring 'cause the instruments are somewhat similar and somewhat homogenics, but still remains great, pretty and so cozy. "Forget", "Can't Pin Me Down" and "Better Than That" are also appreciative and amazing! I really adore these!

    It's worth mentioning the splendid end with "Savages" and "Immortal", both are magnificent and extremely powerful musics, those that make the listener feel in a melodramatic paradise. Simply perfect!

    Anyway ... The album is great, impressive and very well done. It's not an album that deserves unless 80 or 8 notes! However,it has a much more personal sound and calm from Marina, remains a landmark work and close to be perfect. The best of her, no doubt.    … Expand

    If you try to find a big hit in "FROOT", you just won't, so stop trying. On the other hand, you can find many emotional Marinas and though the project is not a concept album like "Electra Heart", it serves as one, emotionally. There is the naked-soul Marina in "Happy". There is the girl-power Marina in the masterpiece "Can't pin me down". There is always the rock star (or the Charli XCX)If you try to find a big hit in "FROOT", you just won't, so stop trying.

    I found it fun and well composed. A good job with the participation of drummer from The Cure, alternating between pop and pop rock, the immortal letter is certainly the high point.

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

    People should listen to this because it has a variety on the lyric. Marina talks about human being, the false immortality we search, happiness. The album did well on the charts but no the singles. I think if Marina releases a big single(Better than That, in my opinion) of course it can do well on the charts and people will listen to this song and think ''Oh, I've been missing this''.

    Love this album, Marina never disappoints. I love Weeds, Savages, Solitaire, and I love when artists write their songs by their own. And there aren't too many producers like in Electra Heart, that makes it better.

    Marina Diamandis once again proves that she is one of the queens of British pop with her latest effort. The album is concise yet packed full of punch, with few of the tracks failing to earn their place. Highlights include "I'm A Ruin" "Can't Pin Me Down" and the title track "Froot"

    Marina está de volta ás suas origens! Um álbum que realmente merece ser criticado. Melhor disco de sua carreira, faixas escritas por ela mesma, sem intenção de hitar e longe de Dr. Luke! Arrasa FROOTeira.
    Deixando 'brincadeiras' de lado, podemos ver como Marina amadureceu nesse álbum, escrever suas canções sozinha, isso não é para qualquer uma.

    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.
