Her goal with this album is to bring "Death" closer to people, meaning that it's not something we should be scared or afraid of. Since it's something no one really awaits, she reminds us that something more beautiful could follow after life on this earth. She even had an interview and explained the meanings of each songs. It was interesting to read about it and also see her intention, what exactly she wanted us to feel listening to the songs.
She’s actually making this into a movie like her last album so all the songs may not go directly into the next one perfectly bc they’re into scenes that connect them
@@fruitypebbles5686if i remember correctly, i think she said that the movie will incorporate the songs but they will also have their own seperate videos
On the tracks that don’t sonically transition into the next song, there are sounds that directly correlated to the titles of the next song. For example, the shower sounds at the end of “Faerie Soirée”alludes to the next song, “Light Shower” which wraps with insect-like noises and is followed by “Spider Web” and so on. The last three don’t follow this patter, as they are the deluxe tracks.
@@MysticaI_Orbvoid kinda transitions to tunnel vision indirectly, it just ends in silence, and Tunnel Vision doesn’t have any instrumental at the beggining, it’s just silence with her vocals
At the end of Leeches it almost sounds like two people arguing through a wall and then the next track is "Battle of the Larynx." I can already see the visuals when she finally (hopefully) makes a movie or music video for them.
I can’t tell if that is a joke, but you realize how serious of an allegation that is right? Not everything is about Oliver tree. She’s already made it clear that they have already ended their relationship on good terms. Don’t make assumptions without any hard proof
I love the way she felt the songs inside her while listening, it's iconic the way she reacts to the songs. Even being Brazilian and understanding very little English, I managed to understand exactly what she wanted to say and what she felt, really the best reaction I've seen from this album.❤
The concept of the album is the afterlife and the process your soul goes through until it’s rebirth. That’s why the first song is death and the last song is womb and it’s a perfect loop cause death is life and life is death. Powder, Pluto and Sirens are part of the deluxe version. The voice effects are used cause she’s singing from another dimension. It’s based on the stages of the afterlife described in books about past life regressions and hypnotherapy and to those titles she wrote lyrics that also have meanings in our day-to-day lifes. I know you said you wouldn’t do it, but her first album is based on childhood themes and she develops the story of a character that is born on that album and dies on Portals so I strongly recommend you check that out. It has a deluxe version too with 3 extra songs. It’s worth it!
15:41 YOUR SINGING GIRL ITS AMAZING OMG!!! But my personal opinion is that bro i just i love this album light shower reminds me of me and my friends and gf's and yk our relationship every time i listen to it it does feel like a long lasting hug. But for me battle of the larynx, womb, faerie soiree and void are my top favorites. Portals has to be the best album yet tbh. Also thats just my opinion!
so for the song spiderweb the reason why it sounds like beatboxing is beacause the producer cj baran actually used his MOUTH to make the beat which gave it that "spidery" feel :)
very interesting to hear the perspective of someone who isn’t necessarily a diehard fan (like myself on this album; I was just at the Tampa 06/20 concert a few days ago 🙈🙈) and the energy was FELT!! She kept it up the whOOLEEE time. Love your reactions!! I got into her first with this album, it’s very different from her other music. THANSKSSS
the vocal affects on power is meant to put you in the perspective of who she’s singing about, she’s talking about substance abuse so the affects symbolizes how you’d hear her under those influences
such a good reaction :D I really liked this album. was never a major melanie fan but this album really did it for me. love the concept and concepts are super important for me. I love light shower too, void is a fave for me as well and so is nymphology. It's supppper catchy. I would love to see you react to some of bjork's older discography, especially the album vespertine or vulnicura. sending you all my love from the UK ^-^
This is my personal favorite album of 2023, all these songs are helping me through so much and I can relate to each and every single tune in one way or another
All her music tells a story. This is the last part of a trilogy. This character is called Crybaby. This is all about afterlife, the first album is Crybaby being born and their childhood, and k-12 is her growing through society/school systems and growing up. You should definitely check out her out. Her first album is only just music videos and her K-12 is a movie. She plans on doing both for Portals 💗
Someone recently related the aesthetic of the character and it’s movements os almost reminiscent of mrs. piggy and the muppets and it makes so much sense now
you should do more of her, all her albums are very different, crybaby is the start of this trilogy which ends with portals following her character "crybaby"
Since your new to Melanie Martinez if you had started with her first album cry baby then listening/watch her second album k-12 (it a movie too) also her ep after school you would understand portals more ❤ love this reaction.
this album has most definitely been a personal fav of mine since it came out. But i loved your reaction and attention to detail. Will most def be subbing
BTW the reason there's a bunch of effects on her voice during POWDER is to help u visualize what it's like to be on drugs, basically high, since that's what the songs about.
The sad fact about Portals the album and the movie she will stop the crybaby trilogy and make other music (dif concepts). She was planing to make a perfume probablly it will be released at the premiere of the movi that will come out around 2024-2025 (sorry for my bad english)
I love seeing you react and getting your raw reaction, I’d love if you reacted to Ethel Cains album Preachers Daughter. It’s a slower, moodier, and darker album (fair warning) but the lyrics are beautiful and poetic. Would love to see what your opinion is about this album. 😇
Melanie fun facts Melanies pronouns are she/ they Melanie wrote void by herself from reading past life regression therapy books Melanies albums are all connected from Crybaby to K-12 to PORTALS She was in The Voice
Hayyy DJ Kim B!! Would you be interested in reacting to Kim Petras' new album Feed the Beast? So much versatility with emotional songs, hard hitting bangers and some fun europop.
A lot of these songs are about her abusive ex Oliver Tree. Also the audio at the end of leeches is a recording she took secretly of him yelling at her when he came home drunk.
You realize how serious of an accusation you’re making right? You’re making random assumptions and believing something that has barely any hard proof. You’re no better than ppl believing Melanie raped someone. Yet you call yourself a “fan
At the end of leeches is melanies ex (oliver tree) he was abusive to her etc. that was him shouting at her💔 and mooncycle (the whole song) its her reply to oliver trees song that talks abt her.. not the nice type😢
IMO, this album sucks. Production sounds washed out, concept unoriginal and the sounds dont fit the „interesting“ visuals. a couple songs i find somewhat listenable but thats just IMO❤️
Unoriginal?? who the hell else has created a character that died and rose as a nymph And don't say Bjork, bc we all know Mel has been working on this album a while before the release of fossora..

I agree. Beautiful explanation❤
love the seulgi pfp♡

Oh wow, she's doing a whole movie!? That should be cool.
@@KimBTVyes a second one! She made a movie in 2019 with her album K-12
Nope the songs are seperate from the movie and will have their own music videos
@@fruitypebbles5686if i remember correctly, i think she said that the movie will incorporate the songs but they will also have their own seperate videos
she said that her movie would ONLY be dialogue I mean it might have some songs but it won’t necessarily be a musical like k-12

What about void to tunnel vision
@@MysticaI_Orbvoid kinda transitions to tunnel vision indirectly, it just ends in silence, and Tunnel Vision doesn’t have any instrumental at the beggining, it’s just silence with her vocals

the end of the song "leeches" is allegedly a recording of oliver tree (mel's ex) yelling at mel (source: yes)
I can’t tell if that is a joke, but you realize how serious of an allegation that is right? Not everything is about Oliver tree. She’s already made it clear that they have already ended their relationship on good terms. Don’t make assumptions without any hard proof
@@S0GGYFR13S09 yeah, fr people need to leave that man alone💀 These "fans" made Melanie look bad

Personally for me i think that Powder sounds like that is to simulate the feeling of being "High" since Powder is about dr*gs and 0verd0se
15:41 YOUR SINGING GIRL ITS AMAZING OMG!!! But my personal opinion is that bro i just i love this album light shower reminds me of me and my friends and gf's and yk our relationship every time i listen to it it does feel like a long lasting hug. But for me battle of the larynx, womb, faerie soiree and void are my top favorites. Portals has to be the best album yet tbh. Also thats just my opinion!
Finally someone who loves womb,everything about that song is so unique and spiritual.
so for the song spiderweb the reason why it sounds like beatboxing is beacause the producer cj baran actually used his MOUTH to make the beat which gave it that "spidery" feel
:)

this is the third album in her trilogy, it’s a whole story from beginning to end just like you said great video!
This is my personal favorite album of 2023, all these songs are helping me through so much and I can relate to each and every single tune in one way or another
You should listen to her other albums too! It all correlates with eachother it follows her character, Crybaby! Its basicaly the end of an era.
This album was inspired by past-life regression therapy books that Mel was reading for a while
Love your reaction! 🙌🏻
Thank you!! 😁
You need to go through her whole journey with all her other albums ,you will understand the story behind it and messages❤💞✌

Since your new to Melanie Martinez if you had started with her first album cry baby then listening/watch her second album k-12 (it a movie too) also her ep after school you would understand portals more ❤ love this reaction.
After School isnt a part of the Crybaby story
@dracarys_eN I was just saying listen to the album, but after school does speak the same topic as portals so..
@@dracarys_eNtest me was!!
Test me have a meaning of dealing with life challenges from god which she also look back to her past
This si the third album in the trilogy! Give her first two a listen they are excellent
this album has most definitely been a personal fav of mine since it came out. But i loved your reaction and attention to detail. Will most def be subbing
I appreciate that!
I think you would absolutely love her After School EP.
Im subscribing. I love your vibe. And i love Melanie.
Thanks! Welcome to the channel
BTW the reason there's a bunch of effects on her voice during POWDER is to help u visualize what it's like to be on drugs, basically high, since that's what the songs about.
Loved your reaction! Looking forward to see you react to her previous work in the future
Our queen Kim b is back at it. Please listen to one of Caroline polacheks albums. The vocals and production are crazy

loved it!
I just stumbled in your channel and I stayed bch ❤
Welcome to the channel!
This album is my mood booster rn fr ❤
PERIOD MELANIE
You should Listen to K-12 deluxe by her, K-12 itself is also a film so if you wanna give that a watch you can
Every song DOES transition into the next one PERFECTLY haha. You need to listen to it without any delays between the songs and you will notice it.
The sad fact about Portals the album and the movie she will stop the crybaby trilogy and make other music (dif concepts). She was planing to make a perfume probablly it will be released at the premiere of the movi that will come out around 2024-2025 (sorry for my bad english)

Melanie fun facts
Melanies pronouns are she/ they
Melanie wrote void by herself from reading past life regression therapy books
Melanies albums are all connected from Crybaby to K-12 to PORTALS
She was in The Voice
I really recomend you lisenting to her others albums, those are not like portals but the songs are really good!
Hayyy DJ Kim B!! Would you be interested in reacting to Kim Petras' new album Feed the Beast? So much versatility with emotional songs, hard hitting bangers and some fun europop.
Hey! I don't wanna make any promises, but I'll definitely consider it
Seconding this! it’s a fun upbeat dance album
Lmao "la di da , im not playin with yall" im died
You should listen to her other albums crybaby and k-12, both of them are visual albums
A lot of these songs are about her abusive ex Oliver Tree. Also the audio at the end of leeches is a recording she took secretly of him yelling at her when he came home drunk.
You realize how serious of an accusation you’re making right? You’re making random assumptions and believing something that has barely any hard proof. You’re no better than ppl believing Melanie raped someone. Yet you call yourself a “fan
Please react to Dorian Electra’s FanFare album it’s so good
Ameii❤
SAME FR MAN, I HATE HER EX ISTG IK SHE TALKING ABT HER EX W NYMPHOLOGY AND EVILL!! >:] >:]]
Mel want to be a Björk
She’s better😼
@@Ur.fave_edgar NO, Björk is top over
@@americanninny4918 then why is Melanie a bigger artist😘, I didn’t even know who bjork was until last month
@@Ur.fave_edgar mel going samr way lkke kerli and the others but what about björk, so she doing shes own way bit mel is copy paste
@@americanninny4918 Leave Kerli out of this bozo
Pretty good reacting but I hate that you skipped almost the whole songs...
At the end of leeches is melanies ex (oliver tree) he was abusive to her etc. that was him shouting at her💔 and mooncycle (the whole song) its her reply to oliver trees song that talks abt her.. not the nice type😢
The end of leeches is not oliver 😭
how is that song ab her when he made it when he was like 17
You Melanie Stans are insanely delusional 😭..
You look like @favour
REACT TO ARIANA GRANDE PLZ!!
She got a New album?
@@KimBTV nah but any reaction to her would be great 🤣
Victoria monet has new music tho 🔥🔥
listen to bjork !
IMO, this album sucks. Production sounds washed out, concept unoriginal and the sounds dont fit the „interesting“ visuals. a couple songs i find somewhat listenable but thats just IMO❤️
concept unoriginal?😭 pls dont say shes "copying bjork" when theres literal proof of her working on the portals aesthetic way before fossora
agree lols, also the mixing on the songs is so weird because most of the songs sound muffled
@@veouz3765Apparently bork owns mushrooms. I always thought it was part of nature 😂😂😂
@@silverscout well, she literally asked for our opinion so its fully relevant, wdyfm lol
Unoriginal?? who the hell else has created a character that died and rose as a nymph And don't say Bjork, bc we all know Mel has been working on this album a while before the release of fossora..
Your always picking the best artist to react to👏🏻 Arca, Shygirl, Charli, Fka, now Melanie❤!!
Thanks, I owe it all to the supporters suggestions. You all put me on to artists I had never heard of.
