Melanie Martinez

Melanie Martinez is a pop artist, originally from Long Island (now based in Los Angeles), whose career was launched on the television show, The Voice. Her music draws heavily from mainstream electronics-oriented pop that combines her slightly R&B flavored melodies with desktop production values. She often builds her songs around percussive loops, her breathy and relaxed voice backed by clean and mellow chords played on accompanying keyboards. Her delivery is low-key but confident, and without much palpable anxiety, even though she has been centering her albums around a narrative arc concerning a fictional character of "Cry Baby".
