"I'm A Ruin" Is The Froot Of The Month For Marina And The Diamonds

A few months back, indie-pop mega-hit singer Marina and the Diamonds announced she would be back in 2015 with a new album, and every month leading up until the release of said album will be a free track for everyone who has pre-ordered their album. This month she continues to follow through on that promise, and we have got their newest gem, "I'm A Ruin".


Anybody else get a Morello from Orange is the New Black vibe from this photo? Just me?

This song is a bit more of a slow jam. People who listen to the radio these days might see similarities to Lorde, given the airy vocals and drum machines, but those familiar with Marina know this bitch can make a low key track like no other. While this isn't exactly a premier single, it does show another side of what they can do, and gives FROOT an more three dimensional feel.

The song itself, as far as the current FROOT lineup goes, falls somewhere between "Happy" on the lower spectrum and "Immortal" on the higher spectrum as far as enjoyability. This gives the album four incredibly solid tracks. While the title track may be the only one that really lives up to the upbeat electronic sound that they presented with her last album, the new sound is really solid and still feels at home in both her vocal range and her musical taste.

There are still so many stories left to tell with FROOT. We have eight more tracks to discover and fall in love with, and with the album still two months away and only one free track left, we may be in for the long haul until this tasty bit arrives on our plates.

For now, you can preorder the album on iTunes and get four songs free!
