![]() I kinda like the cover, not too keen on the grainy texture, her skin looks weird. |

Dear Diamond! Today I want to tell you about my new album. It's called "FROOT" and this is its logo. My album is made up of 6 colours, each representing a different "Froot". I've come up with an idea that I hope you'll love and want to experience together... It's called "Froot of the Month". When you pre-order "FROOT", I will send you a new track every month up until the album release. So, 6 new "FROOTS" will be dropping in to your inbox over the next 6 months. Each “Froot of the Month” has it’s own colour, visual world and "Scratch ’N Sniff” scents to explore. Today is 11/11. Our first “Froot of the Month” is GRAPE and I’m giving you the track “FROOT” straight away. Who knows what’s next? It’s a fruit machine! You don’t know which one you’re gonna get... I want to tell you that I have absolutely thrived on your support over the past 5 years. Thank you, genuinely, for all the confidence + love you have given me. I want to create an experience that we can all be a part of and share together, no matter where you live in the world. And for the first time ever my album will be released Worldwide, so you will all be receiving each track on the same day! This is the start of a new musical and visual era for me. I don’t know what this next chapter holds but I’m so excited for us to be on a new journey together. Welcome to the world of “FROOT”! Marina x |

"Froot" is crap? I think it's absolutely fantastic. One of the best songs she's ever made. |

i absolutely love marina and her music, the new song is great accompanied by a stylish, lovely video, but waiting till APRIL to release the album? i get artists and their labels are searching for new, unconventional ways to market their products but this whole approach is pushing things a bit too far. six months feels like half a decade in today's pop landscape. understandably they would want to preview a number of tracks on the countdown to album release date, only come april any interest and buzz might -and most likely will- have worn out. seriously, whoever thought of this campaign is taking one hell of a risk. i hope it does pay off but frankly that's just wishful thinking. |

I agree. By the time the album comes around, any sort of buzz will have long since vanished. People will already own practically half the album. I really don't think it's the way to go. I'm not saying she should do a Beyonce, but a shorter lead-in would surely make much more sense. |

oh, absolutely. this whole one track per month revealed strategy is misjudged. not to mention the travesty of the tracklist and album cover published this early on. i get the public barely notices such aspects, but these form crucial bits of a campaign building up excitement to the fans community. she's like, ok, my album's ready, here's the artwork, visual concept, album cover and lead video, only u have to wait for another six months to get it. sorry, but that's just like FROOT we keep in the fridge while still fresh and then throwing them all away because at some point we forgot they'd been gradually pushed onto the back of shelves in favor of new food products.

The new video is stylish but so, so boring. The new song deserves so much better. |

I'm not sure how I feel about the album having only one producer. As amazing the melody and lyrics of Froot are, the production is kinda meh. |

Still loving the song but damn the video is boring. There was so much potential in this song for a great video. |
