5 Reasons To Check Out Melanie Martinez
izlesene.com

So if you randomly saw a 21 year old girl dressed up like a little girl with tons of makeup and wearing wigs that are two different colors, you might think she's really different or just trying to grab attention. What you won't guess is that her songs actually have dark, deep meanings that contrast with the pastel-colored toy world around her.

Take for example "Dollhouse". Although she wears cute dresses and plays with baby dolls, the song is about how families refuse to deal with problems and pretend everything is fine for show.

If you still aren't sold, here's five reasons to check out this unique beauty.

1. She's a natural rising talent

Melanie Martinez got famous after trying out on The Voice. After the fifth week she begin working hard on her own material and released her album Cry Baby. At 21 years old she is very talented, ambitious, creative, and original.


2. She's unlike anyone out there

Melanie is incredibly unique. Her voice, style, look, and artfulness are unlike anyone else out there. She's the only girl I know who always has her hair dyed two colors! She's very special and original. You can't really compare her to any other singers who are currently famous.

3. Her songs are imaginative and deep

At first her songs might just give you flashbacks of playing with toys, eating milk and cookies, and getting excited over things when you were little. Really, her songs have deep, often dark meanings mixed in with the more juvenile references.


4. She's been through a lot and speaks through music

Not everything in her songs is based on real life experiences. I mean, she clearly doesn't party with the mad hatter, poison people with milk and cookies, or think she's glued to a carousel. She has admitted in her interviews though that some of her lyrics are based on her real-life experiences, and you can tell from the sadness in many of her songs her life wasn't easy. They're very relatable to hard life events we or our friends had to deal with growing up.


5. You'll be inspired

Whether you're inspired by her beautiful voice, her talent, her makeup, her imagination, or her lyrics, I guarantee she'll spark some inspiration you. She's not afraid to be who she is and embrace being herself in her performances, interviews, and life. That alone is inspiration.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
