Aprendi a ser verdadeiro a não sofrer e achar que isso e algo certo para min. Froot é um álbum que te desperta a ser o que você é e encarar algumas verdades, NUNCA ME IDENTIFIQUEI COM UM ÁLBUM ASSIM ANTES.… Expand

Após 3 anos sumida a nossa Marina volta com um álbum mais que perfeito, composto apenas por ELA e sem nenhum grande produtor, mas conseguiu ser bom de mais, mistura dos dois ultimos álbuns, é um ótimo álbum e conseguimos ver nesse álbum como a vida da Marina foi e está sendo, com letras sarcásticas e amorosas até letras profundas e o desejo de se sentir incluida na sociedade, e ela mostrou que ela tem um grande potencial novamente, com um novo metodo de divulgação além de ter uma turne otima! É otimo para qualquer hora e lugar e ocasião. Exemplo: para momentos felizes Can't Pin Me Down e FROOT são otimas opções, já quando está triste, músicas como Immortal, Happy e Solitaire são otímas.

    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.

From the heart-felt opening track "Happy" to the dark and delicate "Immortal" Marina tries different sounds from dream pop, indie pop, and a little rock. 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

    Marina took me to heaven with this album. Smart, emotional, current, different.

    She is a genius and her songs have all hidden messages that can be interpreted in different ways.

    FROOT has no fillers, it's a short and sweet juicy album. It should've gathered more attention and airplay.

    Immortal and Happy are giving me chills.

    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.

    My favorite album from her by far. It's different from it's antecedents that brought us her critical side in front of the world, not that she doesn't bring her vision of the world, like she did in savages and can't pin me down, but it brought more personal lyrics than critical this time, keeping her ability of talking in a personal level with her listeners.

    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

    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.

    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.
