There are SO many fantastic reasons to be excited about the new album from Marina & The Diamonds! First of all, NEW ALBUM. Just let that sink in for awhile. It's been a long wait for new music and now the time is getting closer! Here are some reasons to be excited about the new album from Marina & The Diamonds:
If you've been keeping up with Marina's music, you know that she recently released a brand new track from her upcoming album. The single, "FROOT," is the title track of the album and it is SO good! It's definitely a new era for Marina but the song still has the familiar feel that we all love from her previous songs and albums. The song is currently available on iTunes and is just one of many reasons to be excited about the new album from Marina & The Diamonds!
Marina's last album was released in 2012 and that is two years too long! By the time FROOT comes out (April 2015), it would have been three years since she's released new music. How have we even survived this long without new M&TD songs?!
The best way to show your favorite musicians support is by rocking their merch! I don't know about you, but I've got a whole collection of band tees that I've collected from concerts or ordered online. Luckily for all of us, Marina's "FROOT" era comes with brand new merch! You can choose between hoodies, t-shirts, beanies, and more on her official website. What would you buy?
My absolute favorite thing about musicians releasing new albums? The fact that a tour is likely to follow! If you remember, Marina toured her Electra Heart album for quite a while. In fact, I went to three of her New York City shows! It was an absolute treat to see her perform live because she sounds just as good - if not better - than her studio recordings. I hope she tours "Froot" for as long as she toured her previous album!
There are six (long) months before the release of Marina's album but she's found a way to make it all okay. When you pre-order the album, you'll get an instant download of the album's title track and then every month, you'll get a new song, a.k.a. the "froot of the month"! Different t-shirts will also be available on her site that match the newly released song.
I don't think there's been a Marina & The Diamonds music video that I haven't fallen in love with. They're all SO good because they're always very true to the song. She recently released the music video for her latest single "FROOT" and it's already racked up half a million views. As much as I love the video, I do miss that cute little heart she used to have drawn on her left cheek! Anyone else?
Just knowing that new music is on the way is more than enough to make me beyond excited! Marina is one of my favorite artists because she's got raw, genuine talent and she's always stayed true to her style. I've had her last two albums on rotation for the past two years and come next April, the third album will finally be available!
Well, there you have it. These are just seven out of many awesome reasons to be excited about the new album from Marina & The Diamonds. Have you already pre-ordered "Froot"? What are you looking forward to the most about Marina's comeback?
