About
Five vinyl albums spanning 2015 to 2026, with limited editions tracked live.
Melanie Martinez emerged in the early 2010s with a distinct blend of indie pop, synth-pop, and alternative pop. Her concept albums chart the evolution of her alter ego Cry Baby—from innocence in "Cry Baby" (2015), through the school-themed "K-12" (2019), culminating in the 2023 exploration of death and resurrection in "Portals." Her forthcoming 2026 album "Hades" extends her narrative with several limited edition vinyl pressings available across Europe and the US.
With over two million monthly listeners and a catalog of at least 5 vinyl releases, Martinez has also cultivated a niche market on vinyl, with tracked prices and multiple editions, including limited editions and picture discs.
