Melanie Martinez’s third studio album Portals is hitting the shelves this Friday, and she found a perfect way to promote its release. Shortly before sharing the full album with her loyal fans, the singer dropped its second single “Void”.
“Void” was released just days ahead of her third studio album Portals, as the second single from this record following “Death”. Martinez is getting ready to shed her “Cry Baby” alter ego with this record, and enter a completely new territory, exploring the themes of life, death, and rebirth.
“All of the songs on this album are based on past life regression therapy books I’ve been reading for a few years now, particularly the in-between phase of death and life. All of them disguised with earthly themes for double/triple meaning, to create a frequency for humans to relate to while still here on earth,” said Martinez in a statement.
Martinez’s promo tour for the Portals has been pretty ominous. Her recent festival appearances saw her perform with heavy alien-like facial prosthetics, mimicking the look from the album’s cover.
Portals is the singer’s first album in four years, and it’s hitting the shelves on March 31. The standard edition will feature a total of 13 tracks, with singles “Death” and “Void” serving as its opening tracks.
