This is Diamandis at her best. It’s almost worrying that she’s got to follow it up at some point

Co-produced with David Kosten, it’s that rare thing; a cohesive pop album that doesn’t just rely on a couple of big singles

With Froot, we’ve got to know Marina a little better, and through that, we know ourselves a little better, too. How many albums can you say that about?

Froot is the sound of Marina & The Diamonds fulfilling that early potential without losing any of the quirks that make her stand out from other singer songwriters

With Froot she’s refuting the myth that female artists are forever the first, the only, that they can only exist if they fit within the shape of whatever cultural or matrilineal precedent exists for them

FROOT is her strongest album to date. It's an exciting prospect to see an artist come into her own on album number three

There's much on Froot to love and even the tracks that dip into oft-chartered waters still have a playful spark that's hard to dislike

The Digital Fix
Froot is far from perfect. It suffers when Marina tries too hard to be sincere or earnest. She shines best when she sticks to colourful pop

The title track is bouncy, light pop, 'Savages' is a confused diatribe against the actions of humanity, but 'I'm A Ruin' is an absolute songwriting masterclass
