Henry 2,374 Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015   76 Link (With Other Reviews)  Purchase FROOT on iTunes: Link 98 - Sputnikmusic Blending the light touch of her backing band with selectively applied electronic elements, Marina gives a more refined take on songs that in her past might have been layered in obtrusive electropop production or overwhelming string arrangements. 91 - Entertainment Weekly The change highlights her brightest facet--that limber voice, which swings from voluptuous alto to fluttering soprano in one swoop. But thereâs good fun in Froot, too. 90 -The Line of Best Fit Itâs one of the most complex pop albums of recent years, and like any great steamroller mind, she canât quite contain herself. 80 - Spin 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 âBetter Than Thatâ but more often than not, digging her heels into raw, nail-biting reality. 80 - Drowned In Sound With the pop landscape becoming increasingly homogeneous, more artists need to experiment, and the variety displayed across Froot's 12 tracks is impressive. 80 - Q Magazine It's the explosion in Diamandis's songwriting that's most noticeable here. 80 - All Music Guide Ultimately, with Froot, Diamandis has crafted an arch, swaggeringly impressive album that balances its pop sweetness with a deep-rooted maturity. 80 - DIY Magazine FROOT finds her at her most accomplished and intriguing. 80 - The Observer (UK) Only the uncharacteristically bitter Better Than That feels out of place on a set steeped in introspection. 75 - Pitchfork 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. 75 - The 405 FROOT is her strongest album to date. 70 - Uncut Froot is another big, unabashed pop album astutely balanced with sufficient melancholy and restraint to stop it from all getting too Katy Perry. 60 - musicOMH.com Flawed as it may be at times, Froot emerges as Diamandisâ strongest album to date, mainly because itâs the first one that strongly stamps her own personality on proceedings. 60 - Clash Music Diamandis is using her music to discover who she really is. That said, by the end of Froot, we're still none the wiser. 60 - Boston Globe Grand statements about humanity in âSavagesâ and âImmortalâ fall flat, and moments like the three-syllable âdi-a-mondâ in âSolitaireâ mistake quirk for personality. But a few slices of FROOT are exactly ripe enough. 60 - The Guardian Marinaâs whooping, swooping mannerisms add to the sense of dislocation--but if you allow yourself to be swept into her world, itâs an intriguing place. 58 - Consequence of Sound Jumping from intense outpours to cheeky pop, itâs an album of songs meant to be cherry-picked and passed on, not listened to as a whole. 50 - Pretty Much Amazing This is Diamandisâ break-up album in more ways than the romantic sense. She also severs ties with popular expectation, and the end result is regressive rather than revolutionary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
