@@sarvhalo I think the main problem with K-12 is because (in my opinion) it sounds more like a soundtrack than an album. The first songs for example feels like are there only due to the movie, not because they were really meant to be there. Also, Cry Baby and Portals works because both of them can be understood as a piece of the character story but also an album who anyone who isn't a fan can listen to.

the contortionist reminds me so much of k-12 and after school with the crazy laughing, sound effects, pauses, and subtle trap. tunnel vision definitely alludes to the nostalgia, darkness, and brilliant ingenuity of the entirety of the Cry Baby album and era

LIGHT SHOWER is one of, if not my favorite song on the album. Once the meaning of it clicked in my head, I just about balwed my eyes out from how deeply it touched me. This entire album is something completely different and new than anything I've heard before. Melanie has done something ethereal and beyond our world, she really has something special, a different perspective on life. That shows in her last two albums up to this one, there's just this magic she brings to us through her music. I'm fairly new to Melanie as a regular listener, and this album made me fall in love. After going back and watching K-12, the parallels between Crybaby and The Creature, she was really considering everything being one big connected story. In her own words, Crybaby is dead and PORTALS is the third and last chapter of this tale.

Portals is the end of the line in the Cry Baby's trilogy. Basically, Cry Baby has died, and the album is her trajectory after death, facing the void (purgatory) to settle her accounts, crossing the tunnel that takes her to drink the holy water of death (reference to the end of the book Republic , from Plato), allowing her to forget the memories of her past life and allow her to reincarnate. Each song tells an aspect of the experience beyond death, using earthly themes to understand it. This album is based on books on hypnotherapy, past life regression and the intermediate phase between death and life. In the end, Womb is the closure of that experience; Cry Baby's soul is ready to be reborn, giving us the message that life and death are an eternal cycle to which we are all destined. This is reinforced by the end of the song, which picks up on Death's intro, but now instead of saying "death is life", she says "life is death".

definitely listen through it by yourself with no pauses in between AND check out the deluxe tracks! it grew on me A LOT after a couple more listens

Girl you have to listen to it again bc the whole album has transitions that connect every songs. We love A 😽💗

❤️❤️❤️ amazing reaction I’m floored!! Love it 😊

Portals was definitely a grower album for me especially cuz I had to get use to Melanie’s new sound. After listening to each song and searching up some of the meanings behind them, I truly learned to appreciate each piece. It’s such a unique album and makes you feel like you are entering a new portal/dimension in each song The outro’s are meant to be long because they all transition to the next piece. I honestly wish she did the same with k12 cuz the tour version had really cool transitioning themes for each song💚💚💚🧚‍♀️

I strongly believe that Portals is an experience. In the first time i heard it, I didn't like or understand most of the songs, but i tried gave it more chances. I think the songs were purposefully mixed together, making you feel a roller coaster of emotions, but unfortunately, it ended up being confusing. An example of this is Light Shower, Spider Web and then Leeches. I hope you can give each song a chance individually, and I'm looking forward to the deluxe version!

This album is very experimental and new to us, i can actually see my reaction through Ajay. what a bop ❤

Hello, Ajay. There is a Chinese singer named GEM who will release a Spanish album on July 10th. She is the first Chinese singer to release a Expañol album.She released the Mandarin version of this album last year, and I think it's so great. btw,she had gained some popularity from north America.This album is called Revelation.Could u release a reaction for this album please？

this is all ive listened to since it came out so i already know it all by heart and have my interpretations as well as hearing what melanie has said about the album so this was so fun to watch someone experience it for the first time, im sure its not for everyone but i loved watching you vibe even if you didnt get certain things lol your reactions were so good

I’m so so happy you liked this album, for some other recommendations you should totally do auroras ‘The Gods We Can Touch’ it’s so good and definitely showcases a different sound for her. She leans to a lot of 80’s esc sounds in quite a few songs whilst still keeping her amazing lyricism. Songs like Exhale,Inhale also remind me of her previous projects especially with the themes of nature!!!

OMG AURORAAAAA ♥️♥️♥️

Im upset she didn't hear the outros. It was supposed to be a transition Edit: And this album is about the death and reincarnation of Crybaby, being the end of the Crybaby trilogy. She will be releasing a movie like K-12, and each song still connects, just like her previous works. At first, I didn't get it either, but I came to understand it and saw its own beauty, and Im glad that, through time, I eventually became OBSESSED with it. Now I can say that this album, in my opinion, is truly her BEST album so far. QUEEN, I HOPE YOU READ THIS AND CONSIDER DOING A REVISIT ❣️🧚‍♀️

she heard it!! she has to cut bits on youtube but im pretty sure she listens to the full album and you can only see on her pateron

i was waiting for this review so bad 😂 i love the fact that i can't think about another artist who could sing about periods or wombs and ACTUALLY sound so good! melanie to me is the most interesting singer we have in this era. Portals is amazing and is my favorite album so far ❤

You’re interpretations of these songs are pretty spot on 💗🖤🤍

Honestly I enjoy this album more than Crybaby or K-12. I think it takes longer to grow for some people but I enjoy this sound a lot more and really like the different sound she’s going for here.

One of my fav albums of 2023 ❤️

This is truly my favorite album of 2023 so far. Even the weaker tracks are still incredibly listenable…

I absolutely love how throughout the entire album, there's something that most of us will find relatable. Not everyone has perfect lives and I love how much Melanie dives into self love and growth with her music. It's why The Contortionist, Nymphology, and Evil will always be some of my favorite songs on this album since personally I've had a lot of bad relationships where I didn't feel like I was worth as much as I know I am. I absolutely loved your insight as well and I'm very happy to continue listening to this album :)

Yeah AJay usually does that at the end

She’s got every song meaning on her instagram! It’s quite beautiful once you read into it! Plus all of the lyrics have been posted on her website and genius!

I wish more people to appreciate her art ❤

Void is such a bop, and the production slapsss

YOURE THE BESTTTT I KNEW U WERE GONNA DO IT EVEN IF I HAVENT BEEN REQUESTING THIS

the album as a whole is just such a piece of art. The album should be listened to as a whole in order so it is complete. It paints a picture and tells a story, to me this is the best story, sound, etc. But i will say, this album needed a couple listens for it to grow on me because it is so different from her past albums. But trust me once it grows on you, it will continue and flourish into such a beautiful piece. don’t be afraid to take your time, its not an album that you’re going to come to terms with on the first two-three listens. But just trust, it will grow on you when you give it the time and attention. Loved this video, this is exactly how i felt on the first listen 😭💗

I think that a very special thing on Portals is that the whole album flows between songs, each outro is the intro for the next song, it feels so smooth to just let it play ❤

i love this album. all the songs have strong meanings and i love hearing people's interpretations of the lyrics.

The video we all were waiting for, love it!

Melanie took it very seriously making this a concept album, you should listen to it without pausing between songs. It would explain the long outros, since they're all transitions between two tracks.

Just to u know, all the songs are connected between them, u should listen to the Outro and Intro of each song together 🥺 all of them have a transition between, expect the duos VOID-TUNNEL VISSION and EVIL-WOMB, there’s not transitions between those two, but the rest of the songs have a transition 🥺🥺♥️💜

Appreciate transitional albums!!!! Every song on Portals connects with the next, even the last track connects with the first track.

Evil is my favourite too and she said it was abt a narcissistic relationship she was in where the person abused and manipulated her but suddenly was calling her evil when she finally stood up for herself!

Girl you had it right the first time 😂 it’s a reincarnation album and moving on to a new version of yourself. Multiple meanings

This album is definitely a grower. Melanie posted each songs meaning on her Instagram if you are curious about them! I also really love evil and I think it’s about her ex Oliver tree and I SWEAR sonically it sounds like one of his songs which just further drives it home that it’s about him in my opinion!
