Melanie Martinez is an unforgettable artist from Long Island, New York–a stunning and provocative singer, songwriter and visual presence. Melanie Martinez wants to tell you a story. It’s fictional, but it’s also about her, in a way that’s somewhat exaggerated and darker than reality. The tale traces through Melanie’s debut album CryBaby, a collection of pop songs that draw inspiration from singer-songwriter folk and hip-hop and follow a character who learns to be more comfortable with who she is. The journey of the character, who Melanie dubbed CryBaby, mirrors the musician’s own. Deluxe Edition features three bonus tracks including “Play Date”.
