MELANIE MARTINEZI love directing my music videos and writing video treatments, and I think it’s all just because I love the visual aspect of it as well.
MELANIE MARTINEZIt’s just weird because like when I was writing Cry Baby I like the only thing that I was thinking about, when writing it, was the concepts and the visuals, and the way that it sounded kind of happened naturally.
MELANIE MARTINEZAnd still as an adult like I do as well, you know what I mean like I literally just cried in the first interview that I had today. Like, I’m just a very emotional human.
MELANIE MARTINEZIs it easier to pretend we are as perfect as the stars above?

MELANIE MARTINEZTangled in transformation.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’m pretty excited for people to listen to the story of each song. It’s definitely like a giant book with different stories in it. They are all very child-like but also a balance between light and dark.
MELANIE MARTINEZEveryone got to choose what they wanted to wear on stage, and by the third time going into wardrobe the stylists already knew what I’d love and what I would never throw on my body in a million years. They were fantastic, and it was so lovely working with them.
