MELANIE MARTINEZ - CRY BABY

[Alphaz 7,956]

This is pretty good album, cohesive sound, but few of them sound quite similar

my 5 fave tracks after first listen are

Mrs. Potato Head

Training Wheels

Cry Baby

Soap

Pity Party

 

Mrs. Potato Head and Training Wheels need to be singles

[Alphaz 7,956]

After few listen, my least fave are Pacify Her, Teddy Bear, Sippy Cup and Alphabet Boy. The rest are awesome. Can't stop listening to Mrs. Potato Head (The Best Track) and Training Wheels

Thanks to GGD for introducing Melanie to me

So this album is flawless... Pop needed this. It sounds very different from the stuff out there now. Will this get the recognition it deserves? No of course not.

She reminds me a lot of Lana.....with that dull monotone sort of voice. 

[Riot Poof 2,236]

I like this album more and more with each listen. My favorite song from it so far is "Soap."

I hope the Internet will eat her up like they did with Lana and Marina. Leave it to the indie/alternative pop musicians to make better pop music than (most of) their mainstream counterparts. 

The fact that she's Latinx and of partial Puerto Rican descent warms my heart because I don't listen to enough Latinx musicians, let alone people who at least partially share my ethnic background (Colombian and Puerto Rican). It's just nice to see people like me out here, especially the Latinxs who dare to be a bit weird and artistic.
