Label: Atlantic

The sophomore full-length album from Melanie Martinez, 2019's K-12, finds the arty pop singer offering yet more darkly emotive anthems centred on adolescence and growing up. Again, at the centre of the album is Martinez's alter ego "Cry Baby," the titular character introduced on her 2015 debut. As with that album, K-12 features song titles inspired by school-age themes, albeit with many of the tracks working as metaphors for more turbulent adult issues. 

That said, it's also a more sophisticated production, with better hooks showcasing Martinez's growth as a songwriter. It's a sound that ably straddles the line between Lana Del Rey's disaffected noir style and Mike Posner's more confessional pop. Notably, the album also arrives in tandem with a colourfully eye-popping short film, written and directed by Martinez, that draws inspiration from her songs. While the album certainly works independently of the film, K-12 plays at a cinematically measured pace, perfect for both afterschool and afterhours listening.
