I don't know what it is.. I have never been one to count down the days to an album release or to even freak out over an album release. I first noticed her on The Voice, as I'm sure most people did, and I have never been this exited for an album. She is a one of a kind. Now, speaking from a non-biased point of view. The album is kinda dark, much of her work has been, as the album is about going slowly insane. If you're one to not look at lyrics too closely, than you will be presented with suprisingly catchy and lighthearted tones.

Try it out! Melanie is amazing! All of her songs are absolutely incredible, her lyrics are creative and unlike other artists. Not to mention, the beats and sounds fit so well with her theme. It took me a few times to like some songs but now I'm listening to them all the time! Definitely go check her out!! Or better yet, buy her album!

I haven't listened to it all yet, but already love it This album just screams originality! I love how Melanie used this baby perspective in most of her songs, i've just never heard of anyone doing that in todays music. When I look for other singers compared to Melanie, I'm dissapointed. When I come back to Melanie, I'm like thank god. I think that's a good sign. LOVE THIS ALBUM! HIGHLY RECCOMEND ANY WHO ARE LOOKING FOR ORIGINALITY!!!

I just pre-ordered it First time I'm buying music and she is totally worth it. I usually just use YouTube for my music fix. But she is amazing and deserves every last cent(updated) I literally love all her songs on this album, I usually only like maybe 2 songs on an album. She should totally be on the charts with these songs, if not topping them. Laters crybabies 🍼😀💦

Juan Estrada

Amazing Dark Pop Album Crybaby is one of those albums where every song is amazing and adds to the concept of the album. The songs are catchy and have lyrical meaning. This is not a typical bubblegum pop album, its filled with raw emotions of being a young adult like in "Mrs. Potato Head"," Sippy Cup", and " Mad Hatter". Some of the songs are danceable, but contain dark lyrics like " Soap" and " Pity Party". Easily one of the best albums of the year. If you can, buy the physical album which comes with an actual storybook!

Adam Jehu

GREAT ALBUM HOWEVER... This whole album is amazing and the production, lyrics and style of the album is a true work of art. Melanie is a very talented artist and is on my artists to watch. I adore the album. I removed a star tho because after the album my weave was snatched and i had to walk down to the store to buy a new weave. Other than that 5 stars!!!

Cry Baby Is My Life!!! It's one of those albums that you have to buy the deluxe version cause you love every song! Melanie Martinez is an inspiration and upcoming artists should try to tell a story through their lyrics as well as she does. If their were more stars she would get all of them! ❤❤❤❤❤

She's so weird... I LOVE IT! There's so many good things to say about this album. I think what I enjoy most is the toy sounds implemented into the instrumentals. This whole album represents Melanie's creativity and imaginative style. If you're tired of the same old stuff on the radio, be sure to give this a try, you won't regret it!

Celestial Cinderella August 10, 2015

Counting Down The Days Along with many of you here, I never buy music but Melanie is definitely worth it! I LOVE the beautiful dark fairytale told in her cry baby album! I love all the songs I've heard live on youtube and I can't wait to hear the full album! I've loved Melanie ever since I've heard her on the voice and I can't wait to hear more from her!!!~♡

Issue with Digital Copy So some time ago I bought and paid for the EXPLICIT deluxe edition of this album because I prefer my music uncensored and unedited. Now recently I have tried listening to this version that I paid for and have come to find out that even though it claims it is EXPLICIT and supposedly an unedited copy...every single track has been EDITED OVER. Wtf is this!!!??? I paid almost $15 for this copy of the album EXPECTING UNEDITED CONTENT. I'm furious to say the least! I would like a refund if this can't be resolved.

ONE OF THE BEST ALBUMS IVE EVER HEARD Very rarely do I find an album where I'm in love with every single song, but here comes Cry Baby by Melanie Martinez. I have a new favorite song weekly. ( Currently it's Mad Hatter ) This album and Pentatonix are literally the only albums I've been listening to lately.

So Original! Helps me get through my depression Melanie Martinez is essentially the music artist that I have stayed with and listened to the longest. Mostly because her music has been able to speak to me personally and and help me cope with my depression. I am gratefeul I found her music because if I hadn't I probably would have coped withy depression in more risky ways. So I owe many thanks to this album. I'm now forever a Crybaby!!! And a proud one at that!

Julie Baker September 27, 2015

Thanks for the tip off Pandora.! I don't watch the Voice, so I wouldn't have been alerted to Melanie without their help. Her style sounds so innocent until you listen to the lyrics :) Downloaded the album after only listening to a few tracks.

Marley Moo222 December 7, 2015

NEVER TURNING BACK Once I saw her on the voice I knew that I was in love with her work. Then I heard dollhouse and then I got interested. I checked her channel once a month to see if there was anything new and I loved what was there. I always couldn't wait for the next song and then this album came out and I was dead with excitment! If you like corky things, this is something you may want to try.

Glenda Ibarra September 3, 2015

Just take my money! I listened to this album on Youtube and never have I ever loved an entire album. I love every single song. Melanie, this is amazing. I will buy this album soon with a google play card. You deserve the money, its just too awesome to put into words... 😢

Renee Stowe July 1, 2017

Being the type to love the music box style or glockenspiel in most of the songs, it gives it a whimsical feel I relate to. I first heard Pity Party and loved the sampling for "it's my party", but I have grown to appreciate the whole album. I am also a fan of the Dresden Dolls and Amanda Palmer, and to have an album tell a story is not new to me and I enjoy it. If you haven't seen the music videos for the album I recommend them.

Laura Odonnell August 25, 2015

Holy YESSS This is the only thing I've ever bought. I usually listen to music on YouTube or through free downloads BUT THIS IS SO WORTH IT I HAD TO BUY IT TO PLAY IT EVERYWHERE I GO

Miramax Muck July 17, 2017

I love this album so much! I bought it in February and listened to it almost nonstop. My problem is that for some reason it now says I only own Pity Party and Cake....? To get the rest of the album back it now says I have to buy all the other songs AGAIN. I am frustrated. Any help?

Nicole Torres June 22, 2017

Best music ever. It has sentimental value but has a story to it all in order. It's childish mixed with a slap of reality and showing the dark side of life that makes life look cruel and ugly. But honestly, Omg this music😱 Get it now!

David Mead Sr December 31, 2015

Melanie Martínez CRYBABY Deluxe What a great album. I have listened to this album 200 times or more. I can't wait for her concert tour to get her in Portland, Oregon. I'll be the only 55 year old in the audience rocking out to the best music to come from 2015.

April Trevino December 17, 2015

She's amazing I love her style. Mixing happy, fairy tale-esque sounds and beats with dark, morbid lyrics and themes is simply genius. My only regret is not watching The Voice while she was on it.

Galactica December 21, 2015

Love the album I love it, but how can I get it to go on 'Music'? It's really aggravating me because I'm trying to make a music video with Melanie's songs and they won't appear on 'Music'. Please reply, thank you. (Edited: Wow, still no reply? What a terrible company.)

E Sheed August 13, 2015

Melanie can't do no wrong! I love this album, Melanie has to be one of the best artist out there, however she isn't even in the main stream media but at least we have her all by ourselves for keeps.

Trendmaster Collector August 18, 2015

Lady Gaga is better / New album 2016 She's alright. Half of these songs could have used better producing that's for sure. Soap, Carousel (From last year), Pity Party and Cake are the only good ones.

October 5, 2017

Holy f*@#ing sh!7. If you don't already own this album, or even if there's just one song on it you haven't heard buy it NOW. I am so incredibly in love with melanie it's not even funny. Sometimes I wish melanie dark and twisted songs were on the radio but most of the time I'm so so so happy they aren't. They are gems and I'm too selfish yo share them with just any shmo on the street. One day, she will be on the radio, she is just that good, but until then I am just going to keep treating it like the hidden treasure it is.

Kelsey Rivera November 25, 2015

CRY BABY Melanie is the loml, I've never been crazy over an artist until I heard one of her songs. The whole album is amazingly perfect💓

trang huynh October 6, 2015

LOVE I just discovered Melanie Martinez and I'm obsessed. I hardly purchase music online but this album is so worth it! and I hear she uses her own money to make her awesome videos that I'm in awe with. She's so original and her creativity is amazing. She's so underrated! Check out her music videos and you will fall in love. All her songs are apart of a story and it's amazing.

Jarod Knight January 10, 2016

The Queen Melanie has gotten better and better... lol jk she's always been perfect, this album proves it! Every lyric I connect to on levels I haven't felt with in years, I love her music

Kate Isobel Green August 16, 2015

I never (as so many people have said) buy songs or anything but this album is really good! I love Melanie Martinez and just listen to her songs on Youtube all the time.

KatTwixx June 23, 2016

Just wonderful! I was so excited to learn that Melanie had come out with an album! I love all of her songs. They all seem so innocent and child-like, but there is a dark twist to them. The melodies are fantastic and her voice is beautiful. The music videos are really cool and add to the innocent, but twisted theme. I just love it and can't wait to hear more from her!

Iyanah Charles May 18, 2016

Love this album! Love her! She's not like any other artist I've heard, her songs have a meaning and her sound is so different and cool in a creepy way sorta. . . I love it! I swear this album is bomb I would love to buy it like YASSSS

o eff ye bebey November 26, 2016

Loved it! I love Mel! She makes such a unique style of music that you can't help but fall for! The only songs I like getting stuck in my head are hers. 5 stars!

Kyla Robbins September 1, 2015

I adore this album Melanie is such an incredible artist, so far I haven't found a song I don't like that she's done. I never have bought an album this way, but I want hers on my phone, shes incredible 💜💜💎💎🌹🌹💐💐

Saravuth Soth August 20, 2015

When she released her first single "Carousel", I was afraid that she was going to become a one single wonder. I'm so happy that she released a full album. This is an amazing album; yes, her dark childish lyrics have brought several tears to my eyes.

September 4, 2016

Melanie is my queen <3 I love all her music. When I first listened to her album I died because it was so awesome.I instantly fell in love with her voice,her lyrics,the music and just her as an artist and as a person.She deserves everything that's coming her way (obviously good luck).I just love how innocently dark her lyrics are. I also adore how she tells an entire story just through music. She's an artist that is soooo hard to come by. One day I would love to see her perform live. That would be amazing.And she is so unique.

Cory Davis August 15, 2015

Extremely Creative Cry Baby gives you a peak into her life with this album. A very sinister, disturbing peak. We are exposed to sexual assault with Tag, You're It, murder with Milk and Cookies, heart break with Cake, Soap, and Play Date to name a few, and insanity with Mad Hatter just to name a few of the issues addressed; all with their own epic beats. Soap having the bubble type beat drop, Carousel having the carnival vibe. Very well produced and thought out, each song tells it's own story in chronological order. Part 2 plz

Kitty Spalla August 18, 2017

Love this album and just purchased several songs using Google Play. However, they're not coming up on my phone so I am unable to listen to them when I go for runs. Bummer.

Ladyy Boss July 10, 2017

Omfg where has she been all my life?! I have seen her album but thought she was wack. Boyyy was I wrong.

Mary McGuire August 13, 2015

Absolutely love it I've been a fan of Melanie since Dollhouse and I've been counting down the days till Cry Baby and I was not disappointed. I love the dark undertones of this childhood themed album. 10/10, will be listening to this for a while.

Claire Wunschel February 23, 2016

Well crap My mom said I could get one song. I wanted playdate. I accidentally bought the whole album...whoops
