Melanie Martinez

[loleetah 4,084]

I think the videos situtattion is kinda different. The whole "I wanna do a visual album" was more of a personal pleasure of hers than really believing it would somehow get "big promo" etc (yet she's still managing to get some good views). Her label tried "singles" but not sure how it worked, I remember Soap being sent to radios etc but that was it.

 

the first videos took some time but she also released like Pacify Her & Mr Potato Head under 1 month each...I still believe she was trying to put the second album right after Mad Hatter but they decided to work on the movie to be released together and... now this whole thing just fked up lol.

 

Yeah, I know she invested a lot of her own money from touring into the CBB visuals so it was never about promo, but it's still not being very smart about investing. Pacify Her was a shit video and you could tell the budget was a lot higher for MPH which was significantly better. The videos that seemed smaller budget like PH, Dollhouse, etc were just not very good and didn't even need to be made tbh, the money spent making them could have gone towards making the bigger videos even better. 

 

Now that people are getting restless about wanting all this info that she's been teasing (plus the accusations and the fact that CBB didn't age very well) the fact that there's still apparently nothing on schedule for the next month is pretty bad. Her fans (the ones left anyways) are arguably more dedicated now than ever and announcing AT LEAST a title could do her well

I agree

I remember being really "let down" about Alphabet Boy music video that lyric mess....dark times stanning

Also random thought but I wish the deleted scenes for MPH leaked since it seems to have some background story that she cut short.

 

 

The next release will be really important to see how she'll go after the whole mess and if there's still people fully supporting her. She said something about "finishing bonus tracks" like over one year ago, the whole movie producing thing... I mean she said something about "Spring 2018" at last years Lollapalooza Brasil I think? No way they really didn't finish the whole thing.

AB was bad put PH takes the cake for honestly being one of the worst music videos i've ever seen   she looked really good in the shots of her singing but the parts in the crib and the boy legit PAINTED BLUE... mess

[Ultra Violet 18,960]

Anyways,  I do love and appreciate how Melanie did deliver her promises,  even if they took so long. 

 

Take Halsey for example. She claimed to be taking the whole album aesthetic/themes 'even further' into its own world,  like no,  Melanie did that,  not you. 

 

From what I've heard,  I think I will like Crybabys production more than the hip hop influenced production she's mentioned for MM2. But I do know that after everything,  she's not gonna put any less effort into making this next era it's own world and story,  and I know it will still fascinate me just as much as CB

I remember my melanie stanning days what a mess

[Masochism 15,400]

she's probably waiting for the people to forget the rape thing idk i really doubt that the album isn't finished yet

Melanie's boyfriend confirmed the album was finished a few months ago but that the movie was still being made.

 

And there's no point waiting so long because once she announces it and starts doing promo it will all come up again. I'm curious as to whether she's even going to do interviews or anything.

23 today. Happy Birthday Mel!

I always hated the intro of Sippy Cup so I edited it out 

 

 

Now I can actually listen to it and like it

It would make for a perfect radio edit

probably just me. im not a fan of acapella intros in any song, including MTWBT

same, I love the pouring sound

[renaissance 8,329]

Honestly, coming back to crybaby it is a masterpiece. I got sick of it quite quickly but listening again after a while, everything about the album is just so good imo - the songs, the concept, the cover art, the videos, the story etc etc 

[Veinsineon 76,785]

stop you guys are gonna make me want to dust off crybaby and listen to it again

right, I think I overplayed it but once I gave it a few months without listening. Revisiting it reminded me why I liked it so much 

[Ultra Violet 18,960]

Thats the part I kept in the video cause I love it too. I just dont like how it opened on the acapella.

After nothing happened with the allegations (and hearing about something that was a real situation, i.e. Mars Argo), I have a new appreciation for this album. The production is absolutely genius, and I really fucking missed listening to Pacify Her, Milk & Cookies and Cake in particular. 

 

To me, the album actually starts at Dollhouse tho haha. Im just always that odd one that doesn't like the song everyone likes, so on CB it's Cry Baby.
