The Drop: Melanie Martinez

The Grammy Museum is thrilled to welcome multi-platinum artist Melanie Martinez to the Museum’s intimate 200-seat Clive Davis Theater for an evening celebrating the release of her new album, HADES, with a conversation about her creative process and a special performance. 

Melanie Martinez has shaped alternative pop into an immersive world entirely her own. With 30 billion+ global streams, 5.5 billion YouTube views, and over 62 million followers worldwide, the New York–born Latin-American singer, songwriter, director, and visionary has built a singular artistic universe that blurs the line between music, film, and fantasy.

She first broke through with her 2x-Platinum 2015 debut CRY BABY, which reached #6 on the Billboard 200 and has logged 200+ weeks on the chart, spawning multi-platinum favorites including “Dollhouse,” “Pity Party,” “Play Date,” and “Pacify Her.” Martinez followed with two consecutive Top 3 Billboard 200 debuts, K-12 (2019) and PORTALS (2023)—both Platinum-certified—with all three albums debuting #1 on the Billboard Alternative chart. In 2024, she sold out shows at iconic venues including Madison Square Garden, while also headlining major festivals such as Lollapalooza Chicago and Corona Capital.

Martinez’s fourth studio album, HADES, arrives March 27, ushering in a dystopian, cinematic era that reflects a fractured mirror of the present moment. The album’s first single, “POSSESSION” (her first new music in three years) debuted with 2.7 million Spotify streams in its first 24 hours and has already surpassed 30.8 million global streams, including 11.7 million in the U.S. The follow-up single “DISNEY PRINCESS” continues the momentum, earning 8.8 million global streams to date, including 3.3 million in the U.S., as anticipation builds for the album.
