MELANIE MARTINEZ - Portals LP (Bloodshot Translucent vinyl)

Label: Atlantic

With over 12 billion global streams, 4 billion official YouTube views, more than 53 million followers across social media platforms, and 27 million videos posted on socials using her music, Melanie Martinez reemerges with a spellbinding new trailer heralding the arrival of her hugely anticipated new album, PORTALS. Martinez lifted the curtain on PORTALS earlier this week with an instantly viral TikTok video confirming the death of her notorious alter-ego "Cry Baby," last seen considering whether to walk into the light at the beguiling conclusion of 2019's internationally acclaimed full-length film, K-12. Today's exclusive trailer - directed by Martinez and streaming now - now sees the appearance of a mysterious egg from which an enigmatic figure emerges. "Portals screams death is life is death is life is death is life. A continuous loop. A circle." - MELANIE MARTINEZ PORTALS marks the 27-year-old NYC-born singer-songwriter-filmmaker's first full-length release in nearly four years following her 2 billion-streaming, RIAA Gold-certified second album, K-12 which proved a sensation upon its September 2019 release, entering the Billboard 200 at #3
