Melanie Martinez releases her new album titled K-12. Available for download and streaming, her latest music project lists 13 songs. It is her first studio album in four years and is scheduled to be released with an accompanying film on September 6, 2019.
Martinez revealed through Instagram on May 29 that the album will be released on September 6 alongside “an hour and a half long surrealist dark comedy” feature film that she wrote and directed. On July 23, the official trailer for the K-12 film was released alongside the album track list and pre-order. It reveals some of the plot, while another snippet of “Show & Tell” plays at the end of the trailer. It also reveals that the film will be released in select theaters for one day only on September 5, 2019.
K-12’s music is a vibrant and singular melting pot of low-key hip-hop, soulful pop and indie-leaning electro. K-12’s universe is an expansion of the one introduced in Cry Baby. Using lyrics rich with metaphor, songs address the struggle to find a place to belong—including within friendships, the physical world and romantically—even when fitting into society feels like an uphill battle.
