Melanie Martinez sits down with Billboard to talk about her boldest era yet. From killing off Cry Baby after a decade to introducing her new character Circle, Melanie opens up about the making of ‘Hades,’ a raw, dystopian record tackling everything from abusive relationships and performative allyship to billionaires, the houselessness crisis, and AI beauty standards. She also teases the ‘Hades’ film she's been writing alongside the music.
