Quote

I go with what I like and I generally just cling to things that are pastel and remind me of being a little kid. It's just what it is right now, but I go through phases.

Image
Cry Baby is just a character in this world that I'm trying to create, and the music videos are really important to me, and I've fought to obviously get all of them approved.
Melanie Martinez

I definitely feel like if I put out a song that was like me being super vulnerable, people would look as me as weak. I don't know if that has to do with me being a girl, or if that really has to do with anything, but I'm sure.

It's very hard to be an artist, on my first album, and I'm like asking for money for a music video for every song - it's so hard to do. You have to pick your battles for sure, but I definitely want - and I've always worked to make it all connect - for all of it to feel cohesive.

When I first started writing the album, Cry Baby was a song that I really wanted to write because it represented all of these personal insecurities that I had for a long time.

[My style in three words] youthful, sweet, and diverse.

If I don't see a music video to it while writing it, I just scrap it immediately. It's very visual.
Melanie Martinez
Image
I'll always definitely strive to write songs that are going to help people feel confident in themselves.
Melanie Martinez

Just because I'm an artist doesn't mean I should be treated differently.

I think that the next album is specifically for sure from Cry Baby's perspective, but it's not necessarily about her family-life or her love-life, or anything like that, it's more about this place in this town. The place has different characters in there, so in every song there's gonna be different characters that appear.

There are a lot of people who go their whole lives without truly knowing what love is, or ever experiencing that.
Melanie Martinez
Image
I have definitely noticed I am very passionate. So if I'm fighting with someone I'll be SO super loud and aggressive, and make sure that my point is heard.
Melanie Martinez
Image
I'm pretty excited for people to listen to the story of each song. It's definitely like a giant book with different stories in it. They are all very child-like but also a balance between light and dark.
Melanie Martinez
Image
So like what I want to do is connect all of my albums and make it tell a bigger kind of story. So the first album is very focused on her family life and her love life.
Melanie Martinez
Image
I'm gonna write from personal experience, from emotion, from whatever the hell I'm feeling that day.
Melanie Martinez
Image
I love Nicoletta Ceccoli , and I love Tim Burton movies. So those are like my biggest inspirations I think.
Melanie Martinez
Image
And still as an adult like I do as well, you know what I mean like I literally just cried in the first interview that I had today. Like, I'm just a very emotional human.
Melanie Martinez

Make sure this [music industry] is what you love to do, and you can't imagine doing anything else.
Melanie Martinez
Image
It's just weird because like when I was writing Cry Baby I like...the only thing that I was thinking about, when writing it, was the concepts and the visuals, and the way that it sounded kind of happened naturally.

Basically it's the idea of celebrities being in the spotlight and just because you think that they should be perfect, that they're still human and they still have flaws just like everyone else. So that was the real meaning behind Dollhouse, at least how it related to me because it's something I was annoyed with at the time.

I'm probably the most proud of Mrs. Potato Head, because I had that idea in my head for so long, and I tried writing that song one time and I just couldn't tell the story the way I wanted to, and I couldn't figure it out.
