23 Best Lyrics From Marina & The Diamonds' 'Froot' Album
In her half-decade on the scene, Marina & The Diamonds has crafted two pristine pop records with 2010's The Family Jewels and 2012's Electra Heart, but she might have outdone herself with her just-released Froot. Its centerpiece? Undoubtedly the lyrics—100 percent written by the Welsh singer.
On the surface the LP is a breakup record, but it's more accurate to describe this as a sonic journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance. It's not a straightforward quest, with Marina spilling loads of self-depreciating sentiments, quirky metaphors and harsh truths.
Marina's no stranger to keeping it real—a huge reason why she's collected such a global fanbase of "Diamonds"—but Froot feels like a woman truly accepting who and where she is, and making the best life possible. The sentiment shines on tracks like "Immortal" and "Happy," but there's a long, twisted, sometimes-dark road to get to that hopeful, higher state of thought.
Go on that journey with us via the 23 best lyrics from Froot below. Listen along by buying the album on iTunes or streaming on Spotify.
