Melanie Martinez has dropped a surprise new single that signals a bold new era.
The multi-platinum Alt-Pop artist released ‘POSSESSION’ today, a track that blends candy-coated melodies with sharp, satirical lyricism exploring how power can disguise itself as love.
With the release, the New York-born Latin-American singer declares that Cry Baby, her iconic persona from her 2015 debut, is officially… dead.
Take a listen…
The surprise drop arrives as Martinez continues to cement her status as one of Alternative Pop’s most visionary forces. With over 30 billion global streams, 5.54 billion official YouTube views, and 62.2 million followers across platforms, she’s built an immersive world that blurs the lines between genres, reality, and fantasy. Her 2015 debut ‘CRY BABY’ went double Platinum and spawned multiple certified hits, including the triple Platinum ‘Dollhouse’ and double Platinum favorites ‘Pity Party’, ‘Play Date’, and ‘Pacify Her’. The album spent an impressive 208 non-consecutive weeks on the Billboard 200.
