5 Reasons To Check Out Melanie Martinez

So if you randomly saw a 21 year old girl dressed up like a little girl with tons of makeup and wearing wigs that are two different colors, you might think she's really different or just trying to grab attention. What you won't guess is that her songs actually have dark, deep meanings that contrast with the pastel-colored toy world around her.

Take for example "Dollhouse". Although she wears cute dresses and plays with baby dolls, the song is about how families refuse to deal with problems and pretend everything is fine for show.

If you still aren't sold, here's five reasons to check out this unique beauty.

1. She's a natural rising talent

Melanie Martinez got famous after trying out on The Voice. After the fifth week she begin working hard on her own material and released her album Cry Baby. At 21 years old she is very talented, ambitious, creative, and original.


2. She's unlike anyone out there

Melanie is incredibly unique. Her voice, style, look, and artfulness are unlike anyone else out there. She's the only girl I know who always has her hair dyed two colors! She's very special and original. You can't really compare her to any other singers who are currently famous.

3. Her songs are imaginative and deep

At first her songs might just give you flashbacks of playing with toys, eating milk and cookies, and getting excited over things when you were little. Really, her songs have deep, often dark meanings mixed in with the more juvenile references.


4. She's been through a lot and speaks through music

Not everything in her songs is based on real life experiences. I mean, she clearly doesn't party with the mad hatter, poison people with milk and cookies, or think she's glued to a carousel. She has admitted in her interviews though that some of her lyrics are based on her real-life experiences, and you can tell from the sadness in many of her songs her life wasn't easy. They're very relatable to hard life events we or our friends had to deal with growing up.


5. You'll be inspired

Whether you're inspired by her beautiful voice, her talent, her makeup, her imagination, or her lyrics, I guarantee she'll spark some inspiration you. She's not afraid to be who she is and embrace being herself in her performances, interviews, and life. That alone is inspiration.

birthday party

My birthday has never been my favorite holiday. I've found that I'm more excited to celebrate my friends' and family members' birthdays more than my own. I don't like being the center of attention, so I usually celebrate over dinner with a small group of family and friends. This way, I can enjoy myself naturally without feeling like I have to entertain everyone and make sure they are satisfied. In the past when I've had large parties, I was so nervous that people weren't perfectly content that I didn't enjoy myself at my own celebration.

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.
