The album cover above is used to classify Melanie Martinez’s first album, Crybaby. The targeted audience for this album is her fanbase, “Cry Babies”, that feel similarly to her depiction of what it means to be a crybaby. The artist pictured above is dressed doll-like to symbolize the innocence of a child. Each song in her album isolates the distinct experiences of a child in a broken home, shown by the houses drowning in tears at the bottom of the cover. The artist has openly spoken on her own life experiences that has pushed her to create this character. Throughout all three albums in her years as an artist, her character grows as her songs continue to represent moments in each stage of development.
