DISCUSSION: Let's Talk K-12 By Melanie Martinez

So if you don’t know Melanie Martinez is, she’s an artist who sings a lot about the problems in the world or in young life today especially in puberty. Bullying, Self-love, self-image, betrayal, etc. Her album K-12 just blew me away especially the artistic film she made to go with it. The nostalgic sound just made me :heart_eyes:

She has overcome everything from 1-2 years and my favorite songs on the album is if I could only choose one would be ‘Lunchbox friends’ because it portrays a scene where you could have these so-called “friends” and they’d only be friends with you for an hour but not when you actually need them. Which shows you shouldn’t let popularity be one of the decisions why your friends with this girl or that boy. It should be the connection, loyalty you have that you decide these are people you want to surround yourself with.

I suggest if you didn’t see the film you should view that first so the songs will make much more sense!

“Nurses office” and “The principle” were the ones who drew me into the album because of the snippets but I just love the vibes in the rhythm that Lunchbox friends gives off.

Oh God, so I’m just listening to “Show & tell” for the thousand time and decide to open the Episode forum for the first time in very very long to see this! I can’t describe how much I love the album the movie is way more than I was expecting. While lstening to K-12 I couldn’t stop thinking about all those people who voted for her on X-factor and how thankful I am to them!!! :joy::woman_facepalming:t2::woman_shrugging:t2::heartpulse:
