It was released digitally on 13 September 2019 by Atlantic Records and contains five acoustic versions of songs that originally appeared on Marina's fourth studio album, Love + Fear (2019).

[7] In an interview with Billboard published on 13 September 2019, Marina stated that the acoustic versions of songs from her previous albums had become popular with fans, which prompted the idea of releasing an acoustic-dedicated EP.

[8] "True", "Superstar", "Karma", "No More Suckers", and "Orange Trees" from Love + Fear were chosen for the final track listing.

[12] Following its release in April 2019, Love + Fear received significant hype and attention due to Marina's extended four year hiatus.

[18] The clip depicts Marina as a black-and-white jester that dances and wears an "asymmetrical jumpsuit with frilly cuffs and [a] sparkly corset".

Mike Nied from Idolator provided a positive review of the EP, writing that Marina "breathes new life into previous single 'Superstar'" and he described the acoustic version of "Orange Trees" as his "personal favorite" and the "absolute standout of the bunch".

[5] Allison Stubblebine, writing for Nylon, called the EP a collection of "stripped-down songs" and considered it a surprise release aimed at Marina's fanbase.

While she enjoyed "Orange Trees" as the closing track of the EP and called it the main highlight, Buchman said it was "cluttered", and songs like "Superstar" and "Karma" sound like "drab copies of the originals"; with her adding: "Although the acoustic EP delivers a more honest and vulnerable Marina, it also reveals the lack of depth in the original album’s lyrics.
