    MELANIE wants to let you know that she wrote and produced VOID by herself 😭🤍
  • @kelx1312
    I love how she listens to the lyrics attentively only to throw on her own meaning at the end😭😭😭
  • @notQuinnMildews
    The outros are actually supposed to connect each song, and it's honestly brilliant how she connected death and womb to symbolize the cycle of life and death ❤❤❤
  • @thatsceneking101
    i am SO so glad you liked this album ! this album is about the death of her character Crybaby and how she reincarnates into a new creature , each song relating to concepts connected to reincarnation while also having earthly double meanings . there’s also a DELUXE version of the album with only three songs that don’t relate to the theme of the standard album so i pray that you listen to that one too .

    Literally no skips on this album it's crazy good. Love how she told a story throughout and the marketing for it was A1.

    Portals is definitely a type of album that needs time for you to actually like it, especially to those who are fans since Cry Baby since it may sound weird. I personally loved since the first listen because it represents the growth, not only about CryBaby (character) but also Melanie and I definitely relate to it cause I grew up with both of them. Love your reactions 💕
  • @MarcDoesNotKnow
    The entire album is actually cyclic! The extra long outros are transitions to the next song, so if you have a chance to listen to the album once again, I highly recommend letting the entire thing play out!
  • @realdeepclassic
    the contortionist reminds me so much of k-12 and after school with the crazy laughing, sound effects, pauses, and subtle trap. tunnel vision definitely alludes to the nostalgia, darkness, and brilliant ingenuity of the entirety of the Cry Baby album and era <3. and Leeches reminds me of the Dollhouse EP because it's dramatic and tragic. everything else is so unique and completely new to the authentic and evolved sound and style of Melanie Martinez
  • @calebbrown5529
    On the second listen, don’t stop the song! Listen to how every song transitions into the next! This album was produced so well! One of my favorites for sure!
  • @tyler_isconfused7710
    you not realizing that all of the long outgrow were for transitions 😭😭 but really though if you actually listen to it all the way through it really adds another layer to the whole album, it’s really beautiful
  • @sleepyemily
    lmao everyone on twitter was like shes gonna hate it but I'm glad you enjoyed it bc this is my favourite melanie album for sure. I loovee leeches which Ik is unpopular but that song gives me goosebumps every listen then the contortionist then death. Melanie really fed me with this album bc I think this sound is def what I've needed from her
  • @oliviasart3712

    I love how Ajay discerns and decode the symbolism and metaphors from the artists' lyrics; it's very engaging and immerses the audience of what her thought may be ✨💭

    LIGHT SHOWER is one of, if not my favorite song on the album. Once the meaning of it clicked in my head, I just about balwed my eyes out from how deeply it touched me. This entire album is something completely different and new than anything I've heard before. Melanie has done something ethereal and beyond our world, she really has something special, a different perspective on life. That shows in her last two albums up to this one, there's just this magic she brings to us through her music. I'm fairly new to Melanie as a regular listener, and this album made me fall in love. After going back and watching K-12, the parallels between Crybaby and The Creature, she was really considering everything being one big connected story. In her own words, Crybaby is dead and PORTALS is the third and last chapter of this tale.
