    The first track is called "Happy", and one of this album's themes is the search for happiness and its find, the last track is called "Immortal" which Marina concludes this subject with saying that in the end, nothing is left, but love, love and happiness are two of the things that could live forever, the spirit is forever and this album fully represents that.

    Este álbum es increíble desde el primer single "Happy", la honestidad en sus letras, innovación y consolidación con sus sonidos. Esto es lo que se llama crear arte, desde un puñado de letras hasta la creación de un concepto que fue y es importante para una artista y activista. Su mejor álbum hasta la fecha.

    10/10 - "one of the most complex pop albums of recent years" - The Line of Best Fit

    Marina Diamandis is easily one of the most intelligent, creative popstars out there; she wrote every track on this album by herself and co-produced them all too, with David Kosten. Highlights for me are 'Blue', 'I'm a Ruin' and 'Can't Pin Me Down'.

    It's amazing. It's like a heaven. Amazing album, her best so far.. Right now my favourites are Can't Pin Me Down, Savages and Weeds, but I love all of the songs on Froot.

    Mas não é Novidade nenhuma que Marina é maior que a Charli CXC dentro e fora do UK, esse album apenas veio confirmar oque de praxe todos nois ja sabemos, Diamondis é uma excelente cantora ,compositora , feirante vendedora de fruta e Supra sumo da musica POP INDIE.

    I have no words to define this album. Marina is an excellent songwriter and was able to write ALL the songs by herself. Froot is an album that will mark your discography forever.

"FROOT" is the mature, older brother of "The Family Jewels", in the best way possible. It's stripped down, intelligent, and well sung. The lyrics are beautiful, especially in songs like "Solitaire", "Savages" and "Forget". Overall, an amazing pop record, and I cannot wait for Marina's next effort.

    I couldn't even put it into words how this album is so good. This definitely proves that Marina is definitely better on her own. I really like her growing confidence in this album as a writer and a producer. 10/10, highly recommended! The best and my favorite Marina and the Diamonds album so far.

    FROOT is far the best disco of this year. This is pure and real art, this is when you realise that music industry is not lost. Since Pure Heroine, by Lorde, I wanted to hear another honest disco. Marina did this another. And it is simply wonderful.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Froot is the new bible, an album for the gays, very eccentric and fruitful. She mixes all the fruits with the stars and creates this wonderful world of FROOT.

    FROOT, Marina and The Diamonds, se destaca imensuravelmente por suas composições magníficas, cheias de pessoalidade e envolvência. Quanto ao som, observa-se uma reinvenção da cantora com toques diferenciados aos trabalhos anteriores.

    The first four tracks on the album, "Happy," "Froot," "I'm a Ruin," "Blue," as well as the seventh track "Can't Pin Me Down" are the best songs of her career. That's all there is to say.

    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.

    Incredible lyrics, a great mix of glorious pop, ballads and up-tempo rock songs. All songs grew on me after a few listens. Savages, Froot, I'm a Ruin and Can't Pin Me Down are a must listen. Written solely by Marina herself, she did a fantastic job!

    This new album by Marina and The Diamonds has a new sound and I love it! From the ballad 'Happy' to the sassy 'Better Than That' - I love them all. It's my favourite album so far. One more point: she wrote the whole album alone and co-produced it with David Kosten, they did a great job!

    This is the best album of him! She wrote all the songs herself and produced them all, few artists can do that and have a result as good as Marina succeeded in Froot. In one word to define Froot: iconic

Gone are the likes of Dr. Luke and Diplo, instead Diamandis decided to write the entire album on her own and had only one producer: David Koston. FROOT highlights a change from Marina's last album Electra Heart which was very mainstream, and instead taken a more indie approach. These changes include recording with a live ban and like said earlier using one producer known more for his work with Bat for Lashes. Ranging everywhere from stripped back ballads like "Happy" to dance floor ready disco inspired tones like "Blue" the album has a wide variety that still fits together. Lyrically this album is about a break-up and her trying to find happiness afterwords.

    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.
