Good news for fans of smart, zippy electro-pop today: Marina and the Diamonds will release their third album 'FROOT' next April.

While their last record 'Electra Heart' was an ambitious concept record that saw lead singer Marina Diamandis inhabit four different characters, it sounds like the follow-up may be quite a different proposition. Lead single 'FROOT' was released last month and sounds quite Goldfrapp-esque, but Diamandis revealed that she has been working with producer David Kosten, who has previously produced Bat for Lashes.

"I think this new album is much more reflective," she says in an interview with The Line of Best Fit. "It's also centred around extremely different things; half of the album is about a relationship that I had to end. It's not something I feel good about, and it's not something I'd really addressed before in my songwriting. In pop music in general it's always this spurned ex-lover type of thing, but this time it wasn't that at all. It was more like the guilt that you have to deal with that comes from hurting someone else. It's just as hard as being rejected or dumped."
