Melanie Martinez – After School (12″ Vinyl EP)

Melanie Martinez’s After School EP is “another thoroughly demented collection of pop songs from the genre’s most original voice. Apart from being exceptionally good, the 7-song set is also notable because it finds the 25-year-old side-stepping Cry Baby – the usual lens through which she creates. Instead, this is 100 percent undiluted Melanie Martinez. Everything is based on her own experiences and expressed without needing to slot them into a larger narrative” (Idolator).
