That’s exactly how I would describe Melanie Martinez’s debut LP, Cry Baby. Released on Friday ... you probably heard it on the American Horror Story: Freak Show trailer.

Twenty-year-old Melanie Martinez's debut album Cry Baby tackles childhood themes but turns them into musical metaphors for darker feelings surrounding broken family and romantic relationships.

In this eerily enchanting musical film by Melanie Martinez, Cry Baby, a strong and sensitive girl, is sent off to a disturbing sleepaway school that's hidden underneath a grandiose façade.
