The multi-platinum, multi-hyphenate force,Melanie Martinez,continues paving the road to her forthcoming album with the release of the sardonic and instantly commanding “Disney Princess.” A razor-sharp mockery of society’s commodification of women, the track reframes the idea of “selling your soul” as something far more insidious.

Speaking on the track, Melanie shares: “I love writing about the entertainment industry and how it affects women. It’s a perfect microcosm of the world around us, how numb and disconnected you can become if you allow others to commodify you.”
True to form, Melanie doesn’t simply write songs—she architects immersive worlds with meticulous precision. This new era unfolds as a dystopian, cinematic universe that feels less like fantasy and more like a warped reflection of our own reality.
With 30 billion+ global streams, 5.54 billion official YouTube views and 62.2 million+ followers across platforms, Melanie Martinez has stretched, shaped, and molded alternative pop into an immersive, innovative, and inimitable world of her own design.
Since emerging in 2012, the New York-born Latin-American singer, songwriter, director, and visionary has not only blurred the lines between genres, but also between reality and fantasy, beckoning audiences into the warm embrace of her singular artistry. Martinez broke ground with her iconic 2015 debut LP, CRY BABY. The 2x-Platinum album, celebrated its 10th anniversary last year and is mother to the 3x-Platinum “Dollhouse,” 2x-Platinum staples “Pity Party,” “Play Date,” “Pacify Her,” “Carousel,” “Mad Hatter,” and “Soap,” and Platinum favorites “Training Wheels,” “Sippy Cup,” “Alphabet Boy,” and “Tag, Your It.”
