Multi-platinum alternative pop visionary Melanie Martinez steps into her next era with today’s release of “Disney Princess,” a sardonic and commanding new track from her forthcoming album ‘HADES’, out March 27. The single slices into the commodification of women in the entertainment industry, reframing the idea of “selling your soul” as something far more systemic and corrosive.
“I love writing about the entertainment industry and how it affects women,” Martinez shares. “It’s a perfect microcosm of the world around us, how numb and disconnected you can become if you allow others to commodify you.” The track moves with sharp edges and theatrical bite, expanding the dystopian cinematic universe she continues to build with exacting detail.
With more than 30 billion global streams, 5.54 billion official YouTube views, and over 62 million followers across platforms, Martinez has shaped alternative pop into a fully immersive ecosystem. From her 2x-Platinum debut ‘CRY BABY’ to the Platinum-certified ‘K-12’ and ‘PORTALS’, all of which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Alternative chart, her catalog carries cultural weight and sustained chart presence. ‘HADES’ arrives March 27 as the next chapter in a career defined by scale, spectacle, and total creative control.
