Take a look back at any 8tracks playlist from 2012 to 2014 and you’ll find her entire early discography; Electra Heart was the perfect getting-ready-for-prom soundtrack. Now rebranded boldly as MARINA after a three-year break from music, her new album LOVE + FEAR has evolved away from angry-sad tracks such as “Homewrecker” and the chilling ’50s housewives of “SU-BARBIE-A” and rooted itself firmly in the here and now. These videos, like their predecessors, are colorful but not in the pastels or neon of previous albums — LOVE + FEAR is all about the bright colors of real life. This album marks a definite shift in perspective, one that began with 2015’s FROOT and its first track “Happy.” In many songs on LOVE + FEAR, like “No More Suckers” and “Believe in Love,” MARINA sings about resolving to live a happier life. Taking fans on a world tour to find themselves, LOVE + FEAR feels like a Marina album with an optimistic twist.
