28th january 2024 spark arena, auckland, new zealand.

Review by Sarah Kidd  with photography by Doug Peters .

The ‘cry babies’ were out in force last night for Melanie Martinez and their highly anticipated ‘Portals’ tour which was nothing short of an absolute feast for the eyes, ears and soul of not only the fans but anyone who appreciates art.

Spark Arena was transformed by thousands of attendees ranging from those who looked like they belonged in the fairy realm, complete with pointed ears and glittery taffeta skirts, to gothic queens with trains of lace. Not often does one witness an audience with such diverse self-expression in one area, and in all honesty, it was quite heart warming to see and in many ways a testament to what the artist had awoken in them.

Opening proceedings for the evening was fellow American UPSAHL who gave it their absolute all in ensuring the crowd was as hyped as possible. Having released their debut album Lady Jesus, they have quickly earned a reputation as one of the new voices to watch in the pop scene, being compared to such royalty as Tove Lo; unsurprising really for a young singer who already holds writing credits for artists such as Dua Lipa, Anne Marie and Little Mix.

Using the entire space to their advantage, UPSAHL dropped catchy tune ‘Drugs’ while working the front rows and encouraging them to scream at every available opportunity, ‘Antsy’ seeing many holding their phone lights high in the air upon request.

“ The only thing I want you to do for the rest of this set is dance Auckland! ” UPSAHL declared to the throngs before her, and dance they did as ‘Sad Sorry After Party’ and final song of the set ‘Lunatic’ that saw UPSAHL descend down to the front row to dance with them, brought the energetic and at some points almost frenetic set to a close.

As the advertised set time of eight thirty approached, the crowd grew restless for the arrival of their beloved Martinez, the slightest pause between the house music seeing a giant collective breath held and then released in slight disappointment as the stage remained dark. When the lights finally dropped a few minutes later, ear piercing shrieks of delight reverberated throughout the arena, an animation of a giant chamberstick floating in mid-air – reminiscent of beauty and the beast – illuminating those in the front row.

Within seconds the stage came to life, and it was almost difficult to decide where to look first. A four-piece live band, costumed to match the set lined the back row, one member holding a double bass, another a theremin (not an instrument often seen at a pop show) were soon joined by four incredible dancers in muted colours that reminded one of the forest floors. And then there was Martinez…

Dressed in a body suit that featured a full head piece with two sets of eyes that made them look like a fantastical cross between alien and fae, Martinez and co wasted no time as they leaped straight into opener ‘DEATH’, the explosive combination of exaggerated dance moves, lights and live band almost bringing the audience to a standstill as they drank it all in.

Some may argue that with a highly choreographed show such as this, that the element of spontaneity and rawness may be lost, but what was presented to Tāmaki Makaurau last night was art, theatre and self-expression. This was the telling of the trials and tribulations that Martinez has faced over the last few years since their humble beginnings, their musical journey through the likes of The Voice where they first gained notoriety to where they are today as an artist who is now comfortable in their own skin and who they are as a person. A rebirth as such. And their followers were here for it.

The set list predominantly followed the Portals album track listing, the fans, despite knowing exactly what was coming up due to previous set lists on tour, welcoming each song with fevered celebration and heartfelt singing of each and every word. It is something quite awe-inspiring to watch, the sheer hysteria that was elicited something that has been seen time and time again throughout the history of music, from The Beatles through to today with artists such as Taylor Swift.

‘FAERIE SOIRÉE’ soon saw inflatable white mushrooms grow on each side of the stage, while ‘SPIDER WEB’ saw Martinez’s incredible dancers very swiftly and rather cleverly string a giant spider web across the stage which when illuminated in red gave it wonderfully dark undertones.

‘BATTLE OF THE LARYNX’ another highlight of the night, displayed visuals of a dragon who appeared to be intent on destroying what was before it with its fiery breath but who in the end was defeated, the song itself written about conflict styles and not letting one’s voice be silenced or dominated by another. Followed fittingly by ‘THE CONTORTIONIST’ which saw their dancers bend in incredible ways complete with overlaid cracking sounds, the song which is all about bending over backwards for someone who refuses to accept you the way you truly are, is both a cautionary tale and uplifting message to the youth of today. Be you, be unapologetically you.

During all of this, Martinez never stopped working the room, often making their way down to the edge and holding the mic out to the front rows encouraging them to sing along to their hearts content, showing that this show was as much theirs as it was the artists. Some have criticised the use of backing tracks but considering that Martinez spends the entire show in costume while dancing this is a completely moot point, especially during songs such as ‘LIGHT SHOWER’ where their vocals were crystal clear and on point.

The fantastical combination of ‘EVIL’ which saw heavier metal beats and guitar infiltrate the track and ‘WOMB’ brought the set to a close, confetti cannons showering those in the GA section with thousands of paper butterflies. But the masses remained locked to the stage for they knew that Martinez would return with a trio of songs that they were itching to hear. And return they did, ‘Play Date’, ‘Show & Tell’ and ‘Mad Hatter’ from the albums Cry Baby and K-12 respectively seeing the entire arena explode into song.

Addressing everyone present, Martinez advised that before they played their last song, they wanted to thank each and every person for attending, and while the audience cheered there was also a bolt of electricity running through them. Martinez had just confirmed that they would be playing another track, and this was not something that they had expected.

‘MILK OF THE SIREN’ was the perfect combination of metal and sea shanty, mermaids dashing across the screen as Martinez and co gave it their all to end the show in style. Standing in the middle of the stage, Martinez raised a single arm high as their dancers simultaneously unfurled a pride transition flag and the national flag of Palestine, Martinez shouting “Free Palestine” before exiting.

This was not just another pop show, this was a statement, a call to arms as such; be who you are, express yourself, stand up for what you believe and never be silenced by those who may try to oppress you.

If this is the new face of pop music today, long may it continue.

The 13th Floor

Melanie Martinez – Spark Arena: January 28, 2024

The 13th Floor 0

Melanie Martinez brought her Portals Tour to Auckland’s Spark Arena last night. The 13th Floor’s Andra Jenkin and Michael Jeong were there to capture the magic.

With Cry Baby, Melanie Martinez’s alter ego, being a visual feast, preparations for the concert are more involved than usual and require a lot of make up in a multitude of colours. My daughter has alerted me to the importance of Martinez, and with many of the albums I’ve been reviewing lately being young women singing in sweet, ethereal voices about dark and feminist themes, there’s something in the zeitgeist here that’s worth paying attention to.

Melanie Martinez

Bjork plays as the crowd arrives and it feels apt listening to another genuinely weird artist. Though outfitted in a full-on goth lace funeral dress, which is not out of place, when I look at the crowd, I feel underdressed. There’s diaphanous materials, frills, bows, corsets, masks, elf-ears and flower garlands adorning outfits and glitter or pearls incorporated into makeup.  Luckily, I’ve been to Hobbiton recently, so I’ve got a spare pair of elf-ears in my bag.

There’s a definite aesthetic here, manic pixie girl meets magical dark witchy nymph. Both of these themes turn up in self-aware lyrics, and my daughter Allara, a huge fan of Martinez, tells me that different albums explore these themes more thoroughly. We’re here for the Portholes tour, but Martinez generously plays songs from her popular Cry Baby and K-12 albums also.

The crowd is young and diverse. Women, young girls, non-binary lovelies and supernatural creatures abound. The singer is known for her support for Palestinians in Gaza and for sporting the Pride flag, (these do appear during the gig).

It’s worth mentioning that Martinez goes by the pronouns she/they. It’s common now for popular singers to enter the political realm and show support for causes and diversity. There are people of all shapes and sizes, and I’m not surprised to find feminist themes of body positivity and image in Martinez’s song lyrics. Though not sung at this concert Mrs. Potato Head is a good example, “Don’t be dramatic, it’s only some plastic/No one will love you, if you’re unattractive,” which is both cynical and ironic.

Upsahl

There’s a short delay before the main act and I’m anticipating a theatrical show. Based on their make-up and alter-ego Crybaby, who seems inspired by drag, I’m expecting spectacle and I’m not disappointed. The screaming is ecstatic, like a religious experience. The enthusiasm of youth.

Melanie Martinez

Melanie Martinez is dressed as the aforementioned manic pixie girl, Cry Baby , with oversized ears and strange makeup that makes them look like a faerie creature, in a tight bodice, flowing skirt and bare feet. They sing with distorted vocals, possibly pitch shifted, and with electronic effects. She is often surrounded by the dancers, one among many. Entering the group to join in the synchronised choreography.

Melanie Martinez

The backscreen is used to full effect, not mirroring what’s on the stage, but giving the illusion of a long-range perspective. The crowd’s screams get higher and I wonder if at some point it will shatter glass, or ring at a pitch so high only dogs will hear it. The musicians are all in silhouette. I see drums, guitar, keyboard, and even a classic double bass.

I won’t describe all the graphics, as I believe that fans should get a surprise, but will say that every song is accompanied by complex and interesting graphics and animations on the backscreen that feels like standalone music videos. The whole effect is like a stage show rather than a concert.

There are smoke machines, props and dancers who have deceptively simple choreography, but are also in perfect synchronicity as well as performing athletic, balletic and often violent movements that illustrate the themes that Martinez sings about. The dancers look Puckish, like performers from A Midsummer Nights’ Dream. One literally bends over backwards for the song, The Contortionist.

There’s a dreamy, floaty quality to the guitar, and the vocals have multiple layers. A fan has handed out many pink squares of paper that others use to cover their phone torches creating a pink lighting effect throughout the crowd during Light Shower .

Melanie Martinez

Like a mosh pit in reverse the punters at the back are dancing and those at the front are staring in rapt attention, entranced by the sights before them. The music is danceable. It covers pop, indie and rock genres, even getting heavy at times and their voice is powerful and has range, it’s no surprise she got her start on The Voice . By Show and Tell the crowd in the stands are on their feet. She sings about her fame, “I’m on display for all you fuckers to see,” and we really got an eye and an earful tonight. I thoroughly recommend checking out a Melanie Martinez gig. An original artist at her elemental best.

Melanie Martinez is a multi-Platinum, 12 billion-streaming alt-pop phenomenon. PORTALS marks the 27-year-old NYC-born singer-songwriter-filmmaker’s first full-length release in nearly four years following her 2 billion-streaming, RIAA Gold-certified second album, K-12.

K-12 proved a sensation upon its release, entering the Billboard 200 at #3 with further debuts at #1 on the Alternative album chart, and #1 on the Soundtrack album chart. Hailed by Forbes as “a perfect conceptual album in the streaming age,” K-12 also serves as a soundtrack companion to an eerily enchanting musical film written, directed, and starring Martinez. K-12 the film debuted as the 6th highest grossing film in the US on the day of its September 3, 2019 theatrical release, with one-night-only screenings in over 425 cinemas in 32 countries.

Martinez truly set forth on what has proven a remarkable creative journey with her 2015 debut album, CRY BABY. CRY BABY took on a stunning second life in 2020 when the longtime fan-favorite “Play Date“ exploded into a true alt-pop sensation with millions of user-generated videos across TikTok. Now boasting over 1 billion worldwide streams along with 2x RIAA Platinum certification, “Play Date” propelled CRY BABY back onto the upper half of the Billboard 200 more than five years after its initial release. Named to Forbes’ “30 Under 30 2021” thanks in part to the renewed success of “Play Date,” Martinez has brought her idiosyncratic vision to an array of diverse enterprises, including last year’s instantly sold-out collaboration with footwear brand Koi. In addition to her myriad musical and visual efforts, Martinez has also shown herself to be an unforgettable live performer via sold-out headline shows and festival performances around the planet.

Live reviews

Just saw her last night, 9/23/16, at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC! Doors opened a little late, around 8:15. The line setup was not great. Tons of people were lined up in front of a parking lot, and the manager demanded we move out of the way. Other than that the security kept it pretty good. Inside, my friends and I were squished, hot, and had to stand up the entire time. "General admission" means the floor. I'm not complaining though. We didn't have to be in line for hours if we wanted a good place in the crowd, we got there at 6:45 and we were about 20 feet away from the stage! Opening act came on first, a band named Handsome Ghost, and did 6 songs. Finally at 9, Melanie came on and she performed all of her songs, excluding Play Date, Gingerbread Man, Bittersweet Tragedy and Dead To Me. During "Tag, You're It" and "Milk and Cookies" she brought the Wolf from her double feature music video for those songs. The Wolf tried to hurt Melanie in TYI but she fought back in MAC and killed the wolf by kicking and pushing him onto the ground. During "Mrs. Potato Head" she brought a plastic surgeon Bunny who put silicone breasts on her! In "Soap" bubble were blown into the crowd. In "Cake", her final song, she stood on top of a cake! When all was over, the band, who were dressed like animals, threw some freebies into the crowd! All in all, a great experience!

After seeing her on the voice, naturally I became a fan of hers, her voice is stunning and has this sort of gentle, dark vibe, how could I not become a fan.

From New York, USA. Melanie Martinez has a unique sound to her, with her debut released EP titled 'Dollhouse' I have begun to like the sound in which she is putting out there, it is very different. Her sound at the moment appears to be dark and have a touch of emotion to it such as the song 'Bittersweet Tragedy' it comes across as emotional but the chords being played are minor but the way it all comes together it invokes emotion and a hint of terror as the gentle vocals and lyrics soar along the beat.

When Melanie took to the stage everybody roared, she sounds just as good live as she did on the television screen, when she performed 'Dollhouse' the entire audience sang the chorus along with her, this is really good to see because it shows she has already gained herself a strong following! She is absolutely beautiful on the stage, refusing to remain stationary, she moves around naturally and it is not even awkward. She is simply a natural!

Melanie Martinez will be a global act in a matter of years and to that I praise it but I also say buy tickets now while they remain friendly and not sold out!

The show was incredible (at least from what I could see). I loved everything, the dancing, the acting, the costumes, the background, the props. Everything was awesome. I could really see that everyone involved in the performance did their best and they all deserve so much credit for their work! I really appreciate that it wasn’t just a concert where you listened to the music, it was intact a very visual concert it even had a scent to it which I personally just loved! But even though everything was great I had a few problems. First off I could barely see anything at all, I’m not the tallest person and there were people who towered over me just coming and standing right in front of me, and it’s a shame. Since I barely saw anything it kinda made my experience worse, I was really looking forward to seeing the show but I couldn’t even if I tried. Second off it was really really hard to stand the entire concert so a few brakes for our and Melanie’s sake would be great, I could hear that she needed some water and a cough drop at at about the same time I needed a sit down and some water. Otherwise amazing show I totally recommend it!!! <3

WOW. I don't even know where to start, so I'll just start from the beginning of everything.

To start, I was lucky enough to meet Melanie. Unlike the last M&G I went to, this one was a lot more intimate- you as an individual got your own time with Melanie and your own photo rather than a group photo. When it was my turn, Melanie was so sweet and adorable! Our photos turned out great (which is relieving to be honest), and after the M&G, everyone got a free poster and a pink mug. Then, a person who worked for Mel (who I knew, they got me into the show) gave me the Cry Baby sweatershirt and album cover shirt, as well as a necklace. Now to the actual performance:

The opening act was a band called Handsome Ghost, who was incredible. After the show, my dad and I complimented them, and they were so kind as well as talented. Melanie, however, was unreal. She was so incredible, and nice to the audience. AND she surprised everyone with a performance of Teddy Bear as well as Cake for encore! I would go to her show again in a heartbeat. I seriously recommend that you all go see her while she's still touring. She is an incredible performer.

It Was Amazing!! I Loved It Start To Finish. I Went With My Brother, My BFF, Her Cousin, My Brothers Gf And Her Sister. It Started With Naaz Opening The Show. After The Show I Listened To Some Of Her Songs And She Is Really Good! Then They Got Ready And The Show Started. Melanie Martinez Live Is Amazing. She Did All The Songs From K-12, 3 Songs From Crybaby (Sippy Cup, Alphabet Boy And Mad Hatter) And Fire Drill! She Acted Out The Movie (K-12) And The Dancers Were Incredible! During Mad Hatter For Example, One Of The Dancers Was Out And They Were Flipping And Cartwheeling Everywhere! She Even Flipped Onto The Seat And Landed Perfectly!!! I Loved When She Sang Recess. It's Such An Elegant Song And The Performance Inhanced The Elegant Feel. Show And Tell And Nurses Office Made It Feel Like You Were In The Movie (So Did Orange Juice, Strawberry Shortcake, Class Fight, Wheels On The Bus And Lunchbox Friends). Lots Of Costume Changes Too Which Was Cool. Overall, I Absolutely Loved It! 5 Stars. I Would Definitely Go Again If She Came Back. I Love Her Music. Welp, See You Again When I Review In Another 4 Years!

So, Melanie Martinez is absolutely one of the most amazing artists EVER and her concert certainly didn’t disappoint. Her backup dancers were outstanding, the tv screen graphics were beautiful, and her voice was even better in-person. There was a tv screen at the back playing really cool graphics from the K-12 movie, but the best part about them was, in between performances, there was a substitute teacher at the K-12 school teaching spreading positive messages about self-love and self worth, which was really inspiring and lovely. Also, during Orange Juice and Strawberry Shortcake, there was scented air released into the crowd that smelled like oranges and strawberry shortcake. That was probably one of the coolest parts. It made everything alive and interesting. I’ve never seen anyone do anything like that before. Most incredible part of the concert was Melanie herself. She’s a goddess anyway, but seeing her in person, singing, truly makes you realize how talented and sweet and absolutely amazing she is.

Melanie Martinez amassed her following after an appearance on the popular reality TV show The Voice. Unlike many of its competitors, The Voice is very much about showcasing live ability and talent and it is this reason Melanie got so far in the competition.

Her smooth tones and delectable vocal seemed to be a breath of fresh air on the reality format and was instantly likened to contemporaries including Ellie Goulding, Marina and the Diamonds and Charli XCX. The latest single 'Doll House' shows real promise as Melanie has not dismissed any of her uniqueness and therefore the fanbase has remained loyal. Her live show is a showcase of what is to come and it all has startling potential and excitement. There are twangy melodies on 'Carousel' and the ability to let her vocal shine on the balladic 'Bittersweet Tragedy'. The reaction to 'Doll House' proves Martinez also has the support behind which is one of the most difficult things to attain when starting out on the live circuit.

The dancing, singing, choreography and the short breaks between songs were so creative!

The only problem I, and many others had, was the amount of time we had to wait for the actual show to start.

Everyone arrived around 19.30 (7:30PM) and the show didn’t start until probably around 1 hour later because of the introduction singer. Said singer wasn’t bad, but she wasn’t the person we paid to see and she was on stage for way too long for everyone’s liking; people were starting to sit on the floor because of the amount of time and boredom with waiting for the main performer.

I have been a fan of Melanie ever since her album Crybaby was released back in 2015, so being able to see her was a dream come true. I have never been to a standing room only concert and it was a lot of fun because by the end we were so close to the stage! A memorable part was that like 3 people passed out or threw up which I thought was interesting, but other than that she had so much to show and give us. I could really feel the emotions that she portrayed in each of her songs. The opening band Lauren Ruth Ward was amazing too! Overall this concert is a must see and I had so much fun.
