Melanie Martinez — Portals

Clear/Pink Vinyl

Arriving on the heels of a two-year hiatus, this record is Melanie Martinez's first not to feature her empath "Cry Baby" persona. Thematically, Portals is an album about death and rebirth in ever more musically nuanced and diaristic ways. The sound is a textural blend of electronic grooves and instrumentation that she smartly blends with more organic strings, woody bass, and sundry other analog instruments.
