Can someone tell me something about this girl? I keep seeing her name pop up on this website.

(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.

also many people want her to drop that aesthetic for the next era, which I really don't get :toofunny:

I love her aesthetic. 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:

Not ha visiting Billboard after the review we shall not talk about :madge:

That gets me so ****ing hyped tho :giveup:

It's gonna be so good, I know it :giveup:

Kinda sad that she's releasing it instantly instead of hyping us one video to one video tho :( But it will have an even more connected storyline compared to Cry Baby, so I'm here for it :hor: Wonder how long the era will be singles/promo wise? :oprah:

Her popularity has really increased during the Cry Baby era and I expect the MM2 era to top it:excited2:

https://trends.google.es/trends/explore?date=today 5-y&q=%2Fm%2F0qb4x22

I low-key want Mad Hatter to be released as the last single from Cry Baby like a week before the video drop, like imagine if it gets a huge video boost and it also boosts streaming and (hopefully) radio play :pray: (probably alternative only tho :poot:)

Spoiler

I mean New Rules is hitting #1 in the UK and starting to grow in the US already (top 50 radio play or something like that?), all because of the video :giveup:
