    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

    "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

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".

    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''.

    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"

    Já me considero um fã da Marina. "FROOT" realça ainda mais o seu talento, apesar de este álbum ser diferente dos dois anteriores. Ela seguiu um caminho não muito convencional para promover este álbum e funcionou perfeitamente. Os vocais, a produção e as letras alcançaram as minhas expectativas altíssimas. Um álbum sólido e coeso. Destaques para "Blue", "Forget", "Weeds" e "Savages".

    Marina and The Diamonds trouxe nesse álbum sua evolução artística em relação ao seu antecessor, o Electra Heart. Embora não tenha conseguido superar o Electra Heart nas paradas musicais, sem dúvida alguma ele foi um divisor de águas na carreira da cantora que entregou um trabalho com letras + batidas + visuais de causar inveja em muitos artistas que hoje possuem o título de A-list.

    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.

In the outstanding "I'm A Ruin" we see marina referencing her selfish Electra Heart persona, while in the angry and futuristic "Better Than That" she is the victim and is throwing shade on the people who stab her in the back. The insanely catchy title track "Froot" is one of the few happy moments on the album, along with "Gold" and the feminist anthem "Can't Pin Me Down". One of the finest pop-ish tracks on the album is the incredible "Forget" that creates a great trilogy with "I'm A Ruin" and "Blue". "Solitaire" is undeniably her most personal track on the record, where we find her obsessed with silence and solitude. The last two tracks on the album have one of the best moments, and "Savages" has the strongest lyrics and message. Overall, the album's greatest asset is the lyrics NOT the production, it somehow didn't give me the feeling of a complete cohesive piece of art. "Gold" is probably the weakest track here but still it's good. Standout Tracks: I'm A Ruin, Froot, Savages, Immortal and Happy.… Expand

    It perfectly blends the best aspects of 'The Family Jewels' and 'Electra Heart'. It's alternative and quirky, but modern enough to be commercially accepted. Don't get me wrong, after a few plays, each track does tend to slide into the other, making it a little repetitive, but it's produced so consistently that this is understandable. A little more studio trickery wouldn't have gone amiss.It perfectly blends the best aspects of 'The Family Jewels' and 'Electra Heart'.

    When the first single dropped, FROOT, I was super stoked. It sounded like the two last albums combined. Although I thought the video was very weak I was sill excited to hear the rest. Some of the promo singles were rather good (I'm a Ruin, Immortal) some others were very weak, like Happy. Until today I don't understand why that song is the opening track/ on the record at all. Sounds like a demo to me and the lyrics are very lackluster.

    Some highlights of the album are Blue, one of my favorite popsongs of 2015, and Savages, very catchy and very Marine-like. Another miss is Weeds, it's a bit boring to me. Also Better Than That which is allegedly about Ellie Goulding feels a bit uninspired for someone who describes herself as a feminist and someone who hates to put woman against each other. (Can't Pin Me Down is a great feminist record btw)

    Froot is the best album of Marina Diamandis to date. She shows that she finally found her sound and herself. Froot has very beautiful and emotional songs like Happy and Immortal, and also it has catchy songs like Froot and Blue. A very good album

    Her best album thus far. A very strange pop album, but certainly a great one.

    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. Clearly the production in their work has increased considerably, however, in "Froot" is all very steady, safe, predictable and often bland.

    Although Marina have their moments, they are never entirely satisfactory, yet, we can get good music here, but unfortunately, none of them are strong enough to stand on the head when it's all over.    … Expand

    After listening to her two previous projects, this one is clearly way better. I feel like she finally found her sound. More than half the songs are enjoyble, the most outstanding ones being "Froot", "Better Than That" and "Blue", which in my opinion, are the best three songs on the album. My favorite Marina album so far.

    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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. could be better, there's a way what means to us that the 50% percent of album's songs are ok. what a shame that the people who overrate her don't even think to raise up her sales.… Expand

    Froot is a very strange album. It is ashame to see such a downgrade in her work. Electra Heart was a decent album however Froot is only bearable. Marina could do better.

    just no, Marina, didn't like. The beat and lyrics ok, but that's not Marina I know. Maybe in this album she found herself but for me is just another album and Marina I know wouldn't make just another album.

    This is just another Pop album, you know? Here's that Marina that I used to love? If it's the real Marina, ok. That's right for you, cause for me it's over... I won't give a **** for this Marina. I cannot even... I'm sorry.

    In the end, Diamandis can't quite shape Froot into a coherent vision.

    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.
