MELANIE MARTINEZI always mention toy sounds when I go into any session.
MELANIE MARTINEZWhen I first started writing the album, “Cry Baby” was a song that I really wanted to write because it represented all of these personal insecurities that I had for a long time.
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 MARTINEZI’m insane, I’m emotional, but I’d rather be that than a robot. So that’s definitely something that I wanted to get out there. Especially with Cry Baby’s story, because the album is about Cry Baby but I realized that me and her went through the same change.
MELANIE MARTINEZI obviously have a different connection to each song in a different way, and they all mean something different to me.
MELANIE MARTINEZI think, being emotional is this thing that people think you’re not strong. They don’t look at you as a strong person, and it’s weird ‘cuz honestly being emotional has nothing to do with your strength.
MELANIE MARTINEZIt’s very hard to be an artist, on my first album, and I’m like asking for money for a music video for every song – it’s so hard to do. You have to pick your battles for sure, but I definitely want – and I’ve always worked to make it all connect – for all of it to feel cohesive.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’m happy that I get to work with people that I enjoy being around. It’s really cool when people understand and want to help your vision and are like rooting for you. I just, I love them a lot.
MELANIE MARTINEZHad to retrieve the key to my heart, Let these roses represent how it all fell apart.
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.
MELANIE MARTINEZTangled in transformation.
MELANIE MARTINEZI’m not used to writing about happy emotions, I’m just used to pulling from my sad or angry – happy emotions are very hard for me to portray in music.
MELANIE MARTINEZI was genuinely happy when I wrote that song [Training Wheels] and very in love. That’s a very rare emotion to evoke out of me.
MELANIE MARTINEZYou are the seashell planting your existence on the shore catching the attention of many even if they aren’t picking you up, but just merely walking by.
MELANIE MARTINEZ”God” is the Glue between us all.
