Jul 12, 2019Girl, this is your failure. Glad for your mental recovery but lyrics sound with... lack of soul, creativity and risk. But actually I have to admit that the sound and production is nice unlike concept. To Be Human, Emotional Machine, Believe In Love - the strongest parts, unfortunately, can't compete with the weakest parts of FROOT. A step back... A huge step back.

Apr 30, 2019A perfect album. with beautiful and happy songs. Marina is really happy in this new era.
I love so much "Karma" and "To Be Human". -
Apr 29, 2019Sem dúvidas um dos melhores álbuns do ano, o pop cativante de Marina te faz ficar viciado no álbum, Há sim uma leve evolução quando comparado com o Froot

Apr 29, 2019A good body of work although is not Marina's best, but I find myself enjoying it. A cohesive and clear album, different from her complex previous works. Its refreshing seeing Marina trying to use a contemporary style. I would recomend it.
-
Apr 29, 2019Marina is finally back after a 4 year hiatus! Love + Fear shows her evolution as an artist transitioning from a more laid back production to a full modern day production pop record. Songs like “Soft to be strong” “To be human” and “Too Afraid” show the raw emotions that MARINA has always delivered off her previous records. The record is fun playful and fresh.
-
Apr 29, 2019Love + Fear is good a cohesive album, but it suffer from a lack of diversity, honestly I expected more from the lyrical content, every word sound corny and cliché. I'm a big marina fan, but after all i can say that is a good album, I only need to hear it more
-
Apr 29, 2019The album sounds very fake to me. It's as if Marina sings about subjects she does not really know about. Definitely disappointed me
-
Apr 29, 2019Incredible album, so cohesive with fresh songs and production. Love + Fear is probably one of the best albums of the year, MARINA u really did that!!!!
-
Apr 30, 2019Her comeback was epic, to be honest. The lyrics are as deep as her first two albums but hasn't reached her top work: Froot. The production was kind of poor and repetitive in some fragments of the album. However Marina has finally found herself with this 16-track-length album regarding to the content and the strength of the messages. 75/100
-
Apr 29, 2019It's just not what I was expecting from her and due to all the noise she was making about I thought It was going to be amazing but she came put with basic lyrics and beats, worse than Electra Heart. Definitely not worth it.

Apr 29, 2019She did what Katy Perry tried to do with Witness: let her pop persona go without falling, but, negatively, also without taking risks, wich I think she must have done with such a strong album title. It could be refined. Let's wait for Marina's next album without her diamonds.
-
Apr 30, 2019It touched me in several ways, that I can not even describe the deep when it came to my most sensitive feelings, leaving me so sad and happy at the same time, Believe in love and No more suckers are the most beautiful tracks
-

Apr 30, 2019Marina, you're talented 100%. thank you for this wonderful album. you're always working on good stuff!!! I love to see you happy :)

Apr 29, 2019Marina's last studio album present interesting ideas, such as dividing the musical project into two separate themes and present subjects such as human psychology and nature vs nurture. Still, the lyrical representation, melodies and production present a misstep when compared to her previous album, Froot.
Standout Tracks: To Be Human, End of the Earth, Life Is Strange. -
Apr 30, 2019Marina flutua toda sua experiência de vida em um pop gostoso, bem costurado e com um conceito psicológico por trás. Letras intensas com uma sonoridade onde mostra todo o seu amadurecimento artístico. Love+Fear é incrível e sua volta não poderia ser melhor.
-
Apr 29, 2019Después de tanto alboroto cln que era su mejor álbum el resultado es algo que parece hecho en dos meses, ritmos pegajosos sí pero calidad no.
-
Apr 30, 2019Existencialismo além de love and fear, nunca falhou através de seus conceitos.
-

Apr 29, 2019Marina is truly one of a kind. She is criminally underrated, she is a popstar that defies what a typical pop star is. Her new record just shows her versatility as an artist and the evolution she has gone through.
-
May 2, 2019Попса... Такой большой альбом и ниочем... Честно говоря даже немного раздражает звучание, никакого удовольствия от прослушивания.
-
May 1, 2019Una renovación total de la música de Marina, con letras frescas y sonidos pegajosos. Definitivamente de sus mejores albums.
Love es grandioso y Fear muestra una parte con la que realmente puedes conectar.
Simplemente Arte. -

Jul 27, 2020Marina is the happiest and lightst she can be. It has moments of instrospectiveness and cheers, thoughtful and that feels very true t marina's vision of herself now. but still as a whole record it still fails to make a lasting impression.
-
May 1, 2019Good songs with good messages, maybe it's something very different from what Marina had us used to, but it also shows that she put all the heart and dedication into creating this album, each song with a specific purpose, besides the rhythms like A roller coaster, it's wonderful how it transports us and makes us feel with this album. FEAR is much more pleasing, it is deeper and more elaborate.
-
Oct 14, 2019In "Love + Fear," Marina demonstrates the ups and downs of a hard, concise feeling that is love. To love is to be reciprocated. Within this, we enter this poetic work well represented by it.
-
May 29, 2020Wallpaper pop music that is forgotten the minute it is heard. Pleasant to listen to intially though but the album is waterdown compared to Marina's previous projects.
-

May 5, 2019I know that a lot of people, especially her older fans, would disagree with me, but i think this is the album where Marina showcased and presented her most authentic and honest self. It's her on a record. Some songs did feel a bit out of place, especially "Baby" and are forgettable i.e. "True". But, as an overall record, it's very solid.
-
Sep 20, 2019Marina shows her evolution, this woman is art, her voice is soft and powerful at same time, she is definitely one of the bests artists in the music industry, this album LOVE+FEAR is a gift, I’m always crying happy tears when I listen, is perfection from beginning to the end, the instrumental is awesome as well!
-
May 18, 2019The comeback of MARINA has been totally great, her album is exceptional. Each song transmits things and the melodies of these are pleasant and improve the mood. Love is a masterpiece and Fear is art at its best. We all know that she in each musical era is different. This era is extremely bittersweet. It teaches us the sweet in the dark and vice versa.
-
May 15, 2019Es un álbum dividiendo el amor y el miedo, sin duda la conexión entre canciónes es maravillosa, si duda uno de los mejores trabajos de Marina
-
Jul 16, 2019The production is simply amazing and interesting but, when it comes to the lyrical content, it lacks of that something that made all the previous tracks so special and original. The vocals are fantastic but there’s always that lack of potential when it comes to the words which are very basic, standard, average.
-
May 17, 2019El álbum es increíble, su voz es hermosa.
To Be Human es unica me agrada que haya cambiado su estilo de música. -
Jan 30, 2020Pop masterpiece. Lirically may not me that deep as her other albums but it's deeper than it seems at first. Personally, it helped me a lot during last phases of depresión.

Sep 23, 2019decepção do ano. marina vem de uma discografia invejável, pra, infelizmente, fazer um material super genérico. dá pra tirar umas 6 músicas e o álbum continuaria cansativo
-
May 29, 2019Mediante este álbum Marina nos demuestra que una lírica simplista aún puede llegar a los corazones de sus miles de oyentes. Mediante este álbum Diamandis nos demuestra una nueva cara de la misma, no un elaborado Alter-Ego como en su pasada era Electra Heart, podemos ver a la verdadera Marina ;relajada y entusiasta de lo que le depara el futuro com cantante y compositora.
-
May 22, 2019Love + fear is complete project. The album consists of 16 songs, 8 on "love" side and 8 on "fear" side. Marina stays true to what made her famous and then give more to the audience by sharing very personal feelings. I waited 4 years for it and I live it.

May 7, 2019Marina (now without the diamonds) is back after a hiatus of four years. In Love + Fear her newest studio album we see a mature artist, preferring to reach the public with simpler but deeper lyrics about human nature. With the exception of the track "Too Afraid" that is not digested at first, the rest of the album as a whole is a minimalist masterpiece to be appreciated.
-
May 17, 2019This is an solid album. Where Marina shows us a different side of hers. A much more mature side of Marina, with a soft pop footprint, although it has the most indie/alternative influence on some songs, in all, is a lightweight/refreshing pop album and subtler pop-rock different from previous albums. Love this
-
May 18, 2019El album es una mezcla de sonidos latinos y pop, tiene letras basicas pero algunas son crudas y hermosas como to be human, las personas odian el album pero enrealidad es una obra de arte,
-
May 18, 2019One of the best albums ever. She express what she thinks and all the songs express a lot of feelings, love it.
-
May 19, 2019Sin duda alguna, de sus mejores álbumes. La consolida como un género pop y no un alternativo. Brinda letras fuertes sobre amor propio, pero sin llegar a la exageración. Bien por Marina, bien por su impecable trabajo.
-
May 19, 2019Is an album so strange for Marina, is so happy but is so comercial and that part is disgusting for me buuuut, the lyrics behind guuuuuuuurl I really appreciate that lyrics all of them bring me peace and joy, I start to cry when I listen superstar literally, same with believe in love guuurl I need more songs depressive
-
May 19, 2019Este ha sido el mejor trabajo de marina, ella ya muestra su madurez las dos partes del disco están muy bien echas las letras muy maravillosas este álbum se merece el oro
-
May 19, 2019Refreshing,honest,sad, joy, happiness, LOVE+FEAR those are just a few of a lot emotions this album make you feel it
-
May 19, 2019Marina cada vez mejora su lírica, es una fantástica artista, no entiendo como es infravalorada por la gente y por metacritic, tan solo MARINA es mejor que Metacritic
-
May 19, 2019Amazing!!! This álbum Is so inspired and Magic, Is one of the best albums from 2019
-
Jun 2, 2019Arte en su máxima expresión, temas actuales & con un gran significado! Marina exploró una nueva etapa que sin duda identifica a muchas personas al rededor del mundo
-
Jun 7, 2019Amo con toda mi vida este album, To Be Human es mi fav, Marina nunca me decepciona
-
Jun 29, 2019An amazing album. Marina this times surprised us with a meaningful album. The melodies are great and it contains some remarkable lyrics. Emotional machine, to be human, believe in love and baby are some of the most amazing songs in the album.
-
Jul 7, 2019The change towards a different sound can be difficult to navigate, however the production and vocal level she is known for is present whole heartedly in this album. The lack of a real coherent theme through out the album is evident as her previous work has always carried a string of similar topics that adds a whole new level to her music.
-
Jul 11, 2019gostosa melodia, amo demais esse álbum! poderia ter trabalhado mais nos vocais da Marina mas amei de qualquer forma... perfeito!
-
Aug 30, 2019O lado "Fear" do álbum, pra mim, é bastante superior ao lado "Love" do mesmo. A junção desses lados entrega um trabalho simples, porém bom e nele também vemos uma Marina um pouco diferente daquela que vimos em trabalhos anteriores.
-
Aug 31, 2019Froot was better :( but Marina is still Marina and lyrics still good, My fav is To be human. I hope her new albums will be better
-
Aug 31, 2019Nada dentro da discografia da Marina se compara ao Love + Fear. Este álbum é com certeza um marco na carreira dela. Sinto que embora hajam problemas com a produção sem inspiração de algumas faixas, o álbum em si consegue se manter extremamente coeso e o conceito dentro dele é uma das coisas mais inteligentes ja vistas na industria musical. Sem contar a voz da Marina, sempre impecável
-
Sep 1, 2019Álbum muito bem produzido dividido em duas partes, onde uma Marina mostra seu lado mais alegre e esperançoso e no outro o mais medroso. É um álbum bom e muito agradável de se ouvir.
-
Aug 31, 2019This is how you make pop music . Only one song was a little bit generic but if you pass that. Truly an amazing record
-
Aug 31, 2019Album maravilhoso, tudo que Marina faz é perfeito, voz maravilhosa e as suas músicas são verdadeiras obras de arte!

Sep 15, 2019I get what Marina brings in this album. It's hapiness and simple feelings. It can be quite boring sometimes. Cause it's simple. I can relate.
-
Feb 24, 2020Too many fillers on this slbum, she could have done better if she made a single LP out of her material, not two. However the new single About Love is a step in the write direction - and freakishly catchy.
-
Nov 22, 2019Generic sound, looks like a new Marina without the essence that made her famous.
-
Dec 12, 2019I really loved the concept of the two sides of the album, it makes sense. I Just want to say I really love her and all the song for this album.
-
Jan 22, 2020Esperaba otra cosa de marina ,el álbum no es malo pero podría ser mejor por la espera

Jan 18, 2021It has some really strong songs and some that are not so much. As whole this is an amazing album!
-
Jun 20, 2021It's a great modern album, but it's too long and monotonous. This is a great debut for an artist like Marina. I wish her good luck with her music
-
Aug 3, 2020Excellence! Nothing bad to day about this album. An emotional trip of the soul that offers lessons and chances for you to grow and open up your eyes. To be human, soft to be strong, karma, superstar I simply can't pick just one favorite. Marina is a talented beauty and her lyrics are peotry like.
-
Aug 29, 2020Es muy lindo , Marina cambio de ritmos y le salió espectacular !
-
Aug 29, 2020talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever been done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, **** on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it

Oct 24, 2021After her hiatus from the music industry, Marina Diamandis gets rid of her Diamonds and returns as MARINA with her highly anticipated fourth studio album, Love + Fear, which features generic pop production and lacklustre lyrics so predictable, you might as well call yourself a clairvoyant after getting through this album.
-
Aug 20, 2022Algo obvio en este álbum es que Marina con el descanso de 4 años que se tomo es que ella viene con una mentalidad más madura, tiene una filosofía distinta de la vida, y eso es lo que le desagradó a la gente pero las letras son profundas entre ellas “To be Human” y Believe In Love son buenas y muestran a una persona que ha crecido no solo en edad si no demasiado emocionalmente
-

Mar 2, 2023Not as experimental as her previous work. Very listen-able and some fantastic tracks i.e. Orange Tree and To Be Human.
Awards & Rankings
-
May 17, 2019As ever with Diamandis, there’s some decent pop music here, but it seems like we’re still waiting for her to produce that genuine killer album, Diamonds or no Diamonds.
-
Q MagazineMay 14, 2019There are suggestions of better directions not taken. [Jul 2019, p.113]
-
May 2, 2019As the first offering of a new stage in her career, Love + Fear not only reveals its creator as newly hopeful, but it also gives hope that future efforts might be carved in a similar fashion. Marina's Electra heart still beats, it's just pumping smoother and with a confidence born from a renewed and mature perspective.
