Melanie Martinez
This is my second time blogging. I think start with the amazing artist who is an upcoming would be the best idea.
Some of you may remember Melanie Martinez from The Voice. Or perhaps you heard her on our Pop Up compilation! Or maybe you listened to hear song Carousel on the promo for American Horror Story last season!She's so fresh and so dope! Yes, we really just said fresh and dope - cuz fleek needs a break!
We are hella excited (and in a throwback mode, ya dig?) to announce that Melanie will be performing at our huge SXSW party this Saturday at the Austin Music Hall.
Martinez joins a stellar and eclectic lineup of talent that also includes Tove Lo, The Ting Tings, Clear Bandit, Jess Glynne, Elle King and Ivy Levan!
Now she is coming with her debut LP called"Cry Baby"
Kimi Selfridge: The album is coming out so soon, I’m probably more excited than anyone. I'm such a fan, you don't understand.
Melanie Martinez: I’m excited too.
What's your perspective on this album? Obviously you're connected to it, you wrote it, but I would love to hear how you feel about each song—how it applies to you, your bigger story, what character this is. How much of it is you? How much of it is exaggerated? Talk.
I am Cry Baby. It's very hard to separate myself from the character. It's still something that I'm trying to figure out. I am the character that I made for myself. [Laughs.] I knew that I wanted the album to be called Cry Baby for the longest time and my main reason for it was because I was teased as a kid for being super emotional and I took things way too seriously.
I feel you. I feel like I was the same way.
I think this album was kind of a way to overcome my insecurities in a lot of areas of my life. I wanted to turn the name cry baby into a compliment.
Is there a line between Cry Baby the character and Melanie?
Yeah. In the story of the album there's some things that I didn't experience. I love stories and fairytales, so I wanted it to still feel super whimsical, or else it wasn't fun for me. I look at music like I look at art; it's like painting a picture. If I had a strong visual behind the song, I knew that I was going to use it. It was about the whole package. "
You can listen to her first single above "Dollhouse".
Her album is out "Cry Baby"
