Froot is a masterpiece - I think she had something to really prove after the glorious but confusing mess of Electra Heart… it’s focussed, has some lyrically exceptional moments, varied yet cohesive - just stunning - she should always strike out on her inner creative vision!! Even if you don’t like a track / or find a weak moment they’re all interesting

Immortality is related to blueberries because they are known anti-oxidants, they reduce the production of free radicals that cause oxidative stress in the body (aka they are often marketed as a superfood for anti-aging). Or am I looking too deep? I am not joking when I say that the release of "Happy" ON MY BIRTHDAY is a core-memory and i love this album so so much, as I get older I find new ways to connect to songs as I grow as a human. Great video!

[@clorocloro4090]

Honestly... Froot is so good it feels like a trance. When i was having to study dionysius for college that song came back to my head out of nowhere years after it was released

[@robertsigheartau2696]

Not liking savages is just criminal

[@vanillac0keh3ad]

Its technically not that serious BUUUT… what bothers me about this is that there were aspects of the art direction that WERE too similar. And charli and her fanbase act like its so ridiculous and a joke. But the reality is, if anyone even so much as vaguely resembles charli theyre immediately claiming everyone is trying to be her. So theyre hypocrites. That Froot DID look familiar. Period. And thats okay lol charli was such a prideful baby about it and now theyre no longer in contact. Thats the reality of the situation. But it does not get painted that way.

[@EstadodeLimbo]

ot was the photographer fault for doing the same thing twic3

[@vanillac0keh3ad]

@@EstadodeLimbo thats really neither here nor there. Because as i said, if the roles were reversed charli fans would not care that it was the photographer. And quite honestly shouldnt charli be aware enough not to do that since shes so ahead of the game? I mean Gaga was photographed with black hair the other day and everyone including nylon was trying to claim she wanted to be charli. Even though shes worn black wigs many times and naturally has dark hair lol my point being, charlis devotees dish it out but they cant take it.

[@Kirbybaby]

Seriously i was sad when she made the post talking about people shit talking love and fear. I loved it when it first dropped. ADIAML didnt hit right away but i love it now. Her mv for purge the poison took like over a week to even get a million views. Its sad seeing her finally being authentic and free only for fans to turn their backs.

[@shawnbay2211]

Marina being featured on an Apple remix, captioning it “this fruit looks familiar,” would b so corny. I need it 2 happen. Also I heard legal parody is intentionally satire/critique of the original. I’m gonna pretend Charli’s copycat moments were interpolations.

[@shawnbay2211]

(Corn is also a fruit, yes). (I am also a fruit). (The fact an apple remix with Marina is exactly like the Lorde collaboration in an album rollout pov is so funny).

[@archwayofcesar]

That venn diagram is hilarious, like, just thinking about all the things that had to happen in order to culminate in its creation.. Everything truly is in context!

[@nxtlvlzeph]

not to be annoying, but they’ve actually interacted a handful of times publicly in the time between 2018-2019 (charli even filmed a video in 2018 praising marina and their collab), but there was definitely a dry spell from 2020 onwards and it was nice to see them bury the hatchet once more. anyways loved the video!!

[@gordonabishop]

oh no!! ugh this is a bummer that i got that wrong, i looked everywhere for an example and all I could find was Charli mentioned Marina a few times and Marina ignoring it lmaooo 🫣 if you have a source please let me know, i’d like to issue a correction in the description. glad you enjoyed the vid! 💜

I imagine since blueberries are an antioxidant and people associate that with aging slowly or more gracefully; that it's her human (or savage, if you will.) attempt at gaining immortality. Also, she's witchy and I can think of a couple of magical or spiritual associations that could link them to immortality or at least human consciousness which doesn't actually die, right?

[@princessgarbage]

man that album rollout is etched into my soul at this point. iirc i think it was shortly after the first time she and lana were on each other's ig posts???? big time to be a tumblr girlie tbh. also i think it's so funny your two least favorites are two of my favorites lmao!!! tbh immortal didn't click for me until i started reading this one manga series and my favorite side character had this whole arc centering around his situation growing up in poverty and getting a taste for power and how what stemmed from his desire to make the world better was also fueled by his own ego to the point where he lost sight of what drove him toward his goals initially, but was still convinced what he was doing the right things all the while. to me, "immortal" deals with that complexity of like, human ego. and i'm sure not everyone thinks about it that way either, but i just thought i'd share my personal interpretation. love the vid, froot era is something i'll carry with me for the rest of my life, and as a writer myself i'm always here for nuanced discussions of art's existence as a whole. 1000/10, you've got yourself a new subscriber
