Editor's note

Melanie Martinez's dark alt-pop and teenage trauma

The former Voice contestant writes songs about mental health and difficult subjects with ethereal production.

For a sense of her approach, 'Mrs. Potato Head' from that debut album frames things pretty well. So does 'Teacher's Pet' from her top songs list.

Martinez caught attention on The Voice in 2012, but her real impact came with the 2015 debut album 'Cry Baby'. That record established her in the alt-pop scene with dark lyrics and songs like 'Mrs. Potato Head' that became signature tracks. She's drawn criticism for explicit content while building a dedicated audience around themes of trauma.

She grew up in Astoria, Queens writing songs since her teenage years. After 'Cry Baby' in 2015, she followed with the 2019 album 'K-12', continuing to explore mental health themes. She works as a solo artist collaborating with different musicians and producers.
