Melanie Martinez has just dropped her third studio album “Portals” including her previously released single “Death”.
For her third album, Martinez left behind her alto-ego Cry Baby, a character she created and told the story within her two previously albums “Cry Baby” and “K-12”. Martinez released official music videos to all the songs on both albums. But, for this album, the singer killed her alto ego in “Death” music video and created a new criature; the criature is pink and has wings – and it is supposed to be Cry Baby after life!
This concept is being critically acclaimed.
With Portals, Martinez delivers an effortlessly inventive, mature record that reintroduces her as an artist unafraid to start from scratch and tackle complex, difficult ideas. She isn’t hiding behind her baby-pink prosthetics. She’s letting us inside her world, and the story she tells is crystal clear.
