Multiplatinum alternative-pop artist Melanie Martinez has

VISION” is the latest in a series of visual releases leading up to her
most ambitious concert tour to date. Presented by Live Nation, The Trilogy
Tour will see the evolution of her alter ego “Cry Baby” performed
live, encompassing hits from all three of Martinez’s Top 10 albums: Cry Baby, K-12, and Portals which have collectively amassed over 14B streams
worldwide. Dates get underway on May 10, 2024 at Seattle WA’s Climate Pledge
Arena and then makes stops at arenas across North America through mid-June.

Bunny, and Sofia Isella. For complete details and
remaining ticket availability, please see www.thetrilogytour.com.
Martinez will first celebrate the new year by bringing her
blockbuster PORTALS Tour to Asia and Australia, beginning January 19,
2024, at Tokyo, Japan’s Toyosu Pit. The PORTALS Tour –
which played to sold-out houses across North America though the summer –
celebrates the arrival earlier this year of Martinez’s new album, PORTALS, available now in an expanded deluxe digital edition featuring three
additional tracks HERE. Hailed by Rolling Stone as an “effortlessly
inventive, mature record” from “an artist unafraid to start from scratch
and tackle complex, difficult ideas,” the album proved Melanie’s highest
charting debut on the Billboard 200 upon its March 2023
release, arriving at #2 with 142,000 equivalent album units earned in its first
week – Martinez’s third consecutive Billboard 200 Top 10 album
debut.
PORTALS further
debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Current Alternative Albums,” “Current
Pop Albums,” “Top Album Sales,” “Current Album Sales,” “Internet Albums,”
“Digital Albums,” and “Top Alternative/Rock Albums” charts, along with a #2
debut on the “Top Vinyl Albums” chart. An instant global sensation, the album
proved Martinez’s first #1 album debut in Australia, also landing at #1 in New
Zealand, #2 in the UK, #3 in Canada and Ireland, and top 10 chart placements in
Germany, The Netherlands, Belgium, and Spain.
PORTALS includes the brand new single, “EVIL,” as well as the hits,
“VOID” and “DEATH,” both of which made history as Martinez’s first original songs to debut
on the Billboard “Hot 100.” “DEATH” is joined by a
cinematic companion video – directed, conceived, and costume designed by
Martinez herself – which trended #1 on YouTube’s Trending “Top Music Videos”
chart and now boasts over 33M official views.
The song was
first teased with a series of eerie clips revealing the rebirth of Martinez’s
character “Cry Baby,” quickly sparking a frenzy of theories and garnering
over 115M views across all socials. The track and its
compelling companion visual earned praise from the likes of Billboard,
which raved, “The avant-garde pop auteur creates bold, expansive worlds with
each project…While the dramatic five-minute track can be connected to her
artistic reawakening, the kinetic drums and electronic elements will also make
listeners feel reborn, too.”
Martinez recently partnered with boutique fragrance company Flower Shop
Perfumes Co. to launch a new four-fragrance collection, Portals Parfums.
With pre-sales launched at 11:00 a.m. on November 1, the direct-to-consumer
scents completely sold out in less than 48 hours. Portals Parfums follows
Martinez’s wildly successful 2016 debut fragrance, Cry Baby Perfume
Milk, which quickly sold out and can now be found only on reseller
platforms for up to $2,000 a bottle. Working with IFF perfumers Natasha Côté,
Patty Hidalgo, and Laurent Le Guernec, Martinez was deeply involved in all
aspects of development for the new fragrance collection. Much like Cry
Baby Perfume Milk, which arrived creatively packaged in a replica vintage
baby bottle, Portals Parfums comes in a striking art
sculptured bottle at a full one-foot tall, with a many-eyed creature head that
opens like a nesting doll to reveal four glass vials inside.
Transporting the
wearer to different worlds with just a little spritz, each unique scent is
designed to reflect the four classical elements: Water of Intuition, Air
of Clarity, Fiery Passion, and Earthy Abundance. Portals
Parfums is available as a four-fragrance set, 60 ml total (15 ml each
of four scents) in Eau de Parfum spray. Individual refill vials (15 ml) and
full-sized bottles (50 ml each) in Eau de Parfum will follow in 2024. The Portals
Parfums fragrance collection will serve as a foundation for
other Portals products, including a broad collection of
scented candles. To be informed of a restock and other product launches
