Just days after unveiling her new single “Possession,” Melanie Martinez has announced that her fourth album, Hades, will be released on March 27. Regarding the new project, Martinez shared: “Each song on this record explores a different trap set by the kind of evil, patriarchal energy that is Hades. It isn’t about predicting a dystopian future. It’s about recognizing destructive patterns that already exist. The same dynamics repeating in different places. Control disguised as protection. Cruelty framed as logic. Exploitation sold as opportunity. Once you start noticing those threads, it becomes hard to ignore them.”
