Love + Fear is the upcoming fourth studio album by Welsh singer Marina Diamandis, known mononymously as MARINA. It is scheduled to be released on 26 April 2019 by Atlantic Records. The album is her first body of work in which she is not credited as Marina and the Diamonds. The album is split into two eight-track collections ("Love" and "Fear"), with each collection exploring psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross' theory that humans are only capable of experiencing the nominal two emotions.[1]

It will include the lead single "Handmade Heaven".[2] The album was announced alongside a tour, which will visit the UK and US, to begin in April 2019 and conclude in October.[3]

Background and production

After the release of Froot, Diamandis took a break from touring to rest and find new creative inspiration.[4] In June 2016, Diamandis told Fuse that she had begun writing new material for upcoming songs.[5] In December 2016, electronic group Clean Bandit confirmed that "Disconnect", a song they had performed with Diamandis at the 2015 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, would be released on their new album;[6] it was released as a single in June 2017 and she performed it with them at Glastonbury.[7]

To mark a new stage in her career, Diamandis announced via Twitter in 2018 that she would be dropping her "and the Diamonds" moniker to release music as "Marina” (stylised “MARINA”), explaining that "It took me well over a year to figure out that a lot of my identity was tied up in who I was as an artist... and there wasn’t much left of who I was."[8] In November 2018, a second collaboration with Clean Bandit and Puerto Rican singer Luis Fonsi, "Baby", was released,[9] peaking at number 15 in the UK.[10]

Release and promotion

On 31 January 2019, Diamandis teased the album by posting a picture on her instagram with the caption "8 Days".[11] The day after, she revealed in an interview that the new album would come out sometime in early 2019.[8] On 6 February 2019, it was revealed that the title of the lead single of the album would be entitled "Handmade Heaven".[12] The single was released on digital platforms on 8 February 2019. A music video for the track directed by Sophie Muller was released concurrently with the song.[13][14] The album was announced on Instagram on 14 February 2019, with Diamandis revealing it is a "two 8 track collections that form a set".[15] She released two cover artworks, one for each eight-track collection, and a set of tour dates for the upcoming world tour in support of the release. Every ticket purchased online through Ticketmaster or Live Nation will include a digital copy of the album.

Track listing

The album will include a total of 16 songs, with two sets of eight songs each.[16][17]
