American singer-songwriter and visual artist known for concept-driven, theatrically staged pop records such as Cry Baby (2015), K-12 (2019) and Portals (2023). She first gained public attention after appearing on the US TV show The Voice and is noted for her distinctive aesthetic and storytelling.

Known for concept albums, a consistent visual style across releases and performances, lyrical themes addressing childhood, trauma and identity, and a devoted fanbase.

DeBaser reviews present Melanie Martinez as a concept-driven art-pop artist whose albums mix theatrical production with autobiographical lyrics. Cry Baby is seen as a solid, personal debut; Portals is praised for maturity and a darker rebirth theme. Overall reception is favorable but notes occasional chart-leaning songwriting.

For:Fans of art pop, electropop and concept albums; listeners interested in theatrical, visual-driven pop music.

 That the highly anticipated third album by Melanie Martinez would allude in its lyrics to her tumultuous personal experiences in recent years was entirely predictable; but the New York singer-songwriter delves deeper into her own abyss to create a mysterious alter ego that from the first trailers released a few months ago hinted well at the project's storyline.

 In its entirety, "Cry Baby" turns out to be a very personal album, maybe not incredibly original, but certainly solid.
