Looking to the future never seem to make you happy
Took you from reality, yeah, yeah
Imagining the worst like it's gonna end so badly, yeah, yeah
Bop!
Hopefully she puts out a record worthy of her talents this time. I don’t want to be apathetic towards her and forget to go to her concert again dd
that reminds me of this very much real footage of @K94 at her Royal Albert concert even when she was all like YOU KNOW YOU CAN GET UP, RIGHT??????????

Love + Fear was my most played album of 2019. It was Marina on autopilot (and like... to a reasonably shitty destination) but it was still reasonably enjoyable once I let go of my expectations.
She seems to be correcting on all the sonic mistakes she made with Love + Fear: this time writing the majority of it by herself and presumably having less sanitised, Spotify-playlist-oriented production. I just worry about some of the lyrical takes given that she seems to struggle with extrospection.
I think the latter issue has soured a lot of already pretty negative takes on the album/era. It really wasn't that bad (although it goes without saying, the fact that it wasn't as abysmal as it could have been doesn't make it exempt from criticism).

Love + Fear’s background music bops are honestly so pleasant to listen to so that whole album ended up on repeat last year. It does feel like it came out about 4 years ago AND I agree with every criticism levelled at it from an artistic angle... it’s just like soothing changing room music. Showering music. Chopping vegetables music. Using all of somebody else’s towels music.
Love + Fear has better demos (You, Please Don't Call) than many of the tracks that made it (Orange Trees). And I think Enjoy Your Life is a cute bop that gets overly criticized.
