(not being mean or anything - I'm really interested - though her music videos seem a bit too childish for me....). So she's an indie artist without a label, or...? And she has a lot of videos... Was it a visual album? She was a contestant on The Voice yeeears ago. She eventually got signed and made an album called Crybaby. It's a concept album, and basically the album chronicles the experiences of the character Crybaby. All the songs contain childhood themes with darker or more mature subject matter behind them. She's a really talented writer and her music is good, but a lot of people can't get past the child aesthetic she's developed. She funded, paid for, wrote, and directed a video for every song on the album herself, except we're still waiting on Mad Hatter. She's inspired by Tim Burton movies, 90's cartoons, Alice In Wonderland, nursery rhymes and childrens stories, the 50's & 60's, and Mark Ryden's art, which makes for quite a unique fashion sense and style of music videos, which she's become known for. Watch some of her videos. Personally, I think see her as a true artist full of creativity with a real vision and passion for creating. In terms of her music, I think Carousel is a good place to start, maybe Soap/Training Wheels double feature I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin.

I'm not too bothered though if she grows the character up a little bit. Tbh her aesthetic in the next album might look a little less: And a little more: I'll be myself until they fūcking close the coffin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
