About
Moving on from the Cry Baby persona cultivated over her first three album, Melanie Martinez cracks open Pandora’s box on her fourth, album <i>HADES</i>, to paint a grim picture of a failing society. Beginning with the fiery “GARBAGE,” the singer-songwriter employs eerie imagery coupled with her mischievous tone and complex production to tackle present-day problems across the album. And no one is safe from her sharp tongue. Airy and ethereal, “POSSESSION” brings to mind trad-wife mockery; “WHITE BOY WITH A GUN” rightly and harshly takes aim at those who “swipe and ignore”; the requiem-esque “THE VATICAN” condemns those who hide behind religion; and the guitar-laden “CHATROOM” naturally blasts online culture. .
