Love + Fear
2019 double studio album by MARINA
Love + Fear is the fourth studio album by Welsh singer-songwriter Marina Diamandis, and her first under the mononym Marina. It was released in full on 26 April 2019 by Atlantic and Neon Gold Records, though the album's first half was surprise released on 4 April 2019. Marina took a hiatus after she concluded touring in support of her third studio album Froot (2015) with plans to retire from music. However, she began working on a new record with several producers, including Sam de Jong, Oscar Görres, Joel Little, Jack Patterson, Mark Ralph, James Flannigan, and Oscar Holter during its recording.
Musically, Love + Fear has been described musically as a pop, dance-pop, synth-pop, and electropop album with a more commercial sound, in comparison to Marina's previous albums. Conceived as a double album, each half of the album explores the two nominal emotions referenced in the title, according to the theory by psychologist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross. Love + Fear received generally mixed reviews from music critics and debuted at number five on the UK Albums Chart, becoming the singer's fourth consecutive top ten album.
The album was supported by five singles: "Handmade Heaven", "Superstar", "Orange Trees", "To Be Human", and "Karma". It also includes the previously released single "Baby" (2018) with Clean Bandit. The album was announced alongside a tour, which visited the US, Canada, and Europe, which began in April 2019 and concluded in November.

Why this record matters
“Love + Fear” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Love, Fear and double provides the most credible route into that argument.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q61731160. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2019, 2015 and 2018.
Later fame can flatten the distinction between original context, subsequent adaptation and institutional collecting history. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
