Description
Melanie Martinez wants to tell 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 her debut, 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 mirrors the musician's own.
