Multi-platinum singer, songwriter and filmmaker Melanie Martinez returns with "Hades", her long-awaited fourth studio album and first full-length release in three years. "Hades" is the next chapter in her rapid rise. Breaking from the "Cry Baby" trilogy that defined her first decade, "Hades" is a high-concept work of art that opens up new dimensions of Martinez's artistic abilities as a musician and storyteller. Melanie Martinez's three previous albums - "Cry Baby", "K-12" and "Portals" - all debuted at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Albums chart, with "Portals" launching at #2 on the Billboard 200 and establishing Martinez as one of alternative pop's most innovative and influential forces.
