DARK POP BREAKOUT STAR
MELANIE MARTINEZ
RELEASES VIDEO
“Dollhouse” on iTunes
Melanie Martinez is a remarkable 18-year-old artist from Long Island, New York – a stunning and provocative singer, songwriter and visual presence. Her incredibly unique and arresting performances on The Voice (Fall 2012) brought her to #5 in the competition, yielded two Top Five songs on iTunes (“Seven Nation Army” and “Too Close cover), and earned her 92,000 Twitter followers and over 100,000 fans on Facebook. Her memorable audition/performance of Britney Spears’ “Toxic” has now garnered over six million views on YouTube. US Magazine says, “Melanie Martinez might be the NBC show’s first real breakout star.“
I love Melanie’s single “Dollhouse”! I was already interested in the song when I heard the title and when I listened to it I was completely won over. I was a little apprehensive when the song first started but once it picked up steam it had me. The music video is amazing and I love the striking imagery she uses with the dollhouse. I’ve always had a love for darker songs and this is definitely a dark song. If the song doesn’t have any meaning behind it I’m usually not a big fan.
