Marina & The Diamonds' Froot, released in 2015, marks a significant evolution in Marina Diamandis's artistic journey. Departing from the conceptual framework of her previous album, Electra Heart, Froot presents a more intimate and personal narrative, reflecting Marina's self-discovery and growth.
The album opens with "Happy," a melancholic piano-driven track where Marina equates the pursuit of happiness with crafting a heartfelt song. The title track, "Froot," is a quirky composition reminiscent of 1970s and 1980s club music, showcasing Marina's playful side. "I'm A Ruin" delves into themes of self-reflection and guilt, set against lush synths and drums. "Better Than That" introduces a sassy tone with its rock-inspired elements, while "Savages" offers a poignant commentary on humanity's propensity for violence, inspired by real-world events. The closing track, "Immortal," is a delicate ballad contemplating life's transient nature.
