K-12' marks Martinez's long anticipated follow-up to her RIAA platinum certified, 2015 debut album, 'Cry Baby'. Produced by Michael Keenan with the exception of one song produced by Kinetics and One Love (who previously collaborated with Martinez on such hits as 'Dollhouse' and 'Carousel'), the album serves as a soundtrack companion to an eerily enchanting new musical film, written, directed, and starring Martinez. It's a sound that ably straddles the line between Lana Del Rey's disaffected noir style and Mike Posner's more confessional pop. Again at the center of the album is Martinez's alter ego "Cry Baby," the titular character introduced on her 2015 debut. I own the official Extra Clutter EP vinyl and the official Dollhouse CD (the booklet cd) and there is a fairly noticable difference in quality, Not a super big thing at all, just have an eye for that sort of thing, The front of the cd is good quality though.

The sophomore full-length album from Melanie Martinez, 2019's K-12, finds the arty pop singer offering yet more darkly emotive anthems centered on adolescence and growing up.The audio quality is very similar to the official tracks which is a plus, doesn't sound super compressed or anything which is good.

I have an Audio Technica turntable and tend to take care of my records very well so it’s unfortunate it skips. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions. Turning off the personalised advertising setting won’t stop you from seeing Etsy ads, but it may make the ads you see less relevant or more repetitive.

The seller is great at helping your personalize it and makes sure everything is perfect for you before it’s made. Not only was the vinyl amazing quality, but the owner Simon was extremely fast and was able to send it on time!

Mine used to skip show and tell but i got a new player and it works perfectly, so if this is happening to you it’s most likely not the record.

For example, the lyrical and dreamy "Strawberry Shortcake" is both about going through puberty and struggling with the male gaze.
