Last night I finally got to see someone I have admired for many years now, Melanie Martinez. In today's blog post, I thought I'd do a Melanie Martinez concert review.

The first thing I want to say is how amazing the dancers were, they were all on time. Each and every one of them. You could also absolutely tell they were putting so much effort into their dancing. They were very very good and they really helped bring the show to life.

This show wasn't any ordinary show, it was more of a musical, her show was a live version of her theatrical film 'K-12' which accompanied her album which was also called 'K-12' It had a story, which I loved, I really appreciated the effort that was put into the show, the thought, and creativity that was put into this show really shined through while you were watching her perform. It was just magical, I find it really impressive that Melanie Martinez thought of this story all by herself.

Melanie had so much personality and energy and portrayed her character seemingly, effortlessly, and she sounded so beautiful in person, her vocals were incredible. She didn't really talk to the crowd at all the whole show but that's because she stayed in character the shole how until she started singing some of her old songs at the end of the show which then she started talking to the audience more.

Overall the whole show was incredible, she was in character, her voice was beautiful, she really did bring her album 'K-12' to life which I think is insanely amazing. The costumes were spot on, the makeup, the hair. Melanie and the dancers really did complement each other is the best way possible. 



Here are a few photos I took at the show! See you in the next blog post.

“I think music in itself is healing. It’s an explosive expression of humanity. It’s something we are all touched by. No matter what culture we’re from, everyone loves music.” ― Billy Joel

Music is a big part of my life, not only is music just absolutely incredible but it helps me to escape some of the bad times in my day to day life. I listen to music on the bus to university, when I'm cooking, when I'm walking and when I'm just sitting in bed writing. I'm actually listening to music right now. Music is my savior, it helps me cheer up when I'm down and it helps me with my confidence. I've listened to a lot of music this past month so it was hard to create a list of my November favorites, but I did it! I don't actually listen to a variety of people, I listen to the same artists. I'm rather fussy when it comes to music and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing, but here are my November Favourites! 






Let's talk about MARINA a.k.a Marina and The Diamonds, she is just marvelous. Her songs make me so happy and make me want to dance. Some songs make me want to cry, she has such a range of different songs. She has bad bitch songs, sad bitch songs and just overall giant pop bops. She is so versatile when it comes to her music, her first album 'The Family Jewels' is very witty and alternative. Her most recent record 'LOVE + FEAR' is so simple yet so beautiful. It's a record split into two halves, one side being 'LOVE' which has songs about love and the other side being 'FEAR' which has songs about different fears. I couldn't recommend MARINA's music enough to be honest, so go listen!

Next up on the list, Kim Petras! I'm a new fan of Kim's and I have not been disappointed so far, I've been listening to Kim since around October time as she released the other part of her Halloween album 'Turn Off The Lights' which by the way, I LOVE! The songs on that album are just creepy bops. I love it so much, but this song 'Icy' is from Kim's album 'Clarity' that was released in June. Icy is a big fat BOP! I can't stop listening to it!

Lana Del Rey.... the witchy bitch. I have been obsessed with Lana Del Rey since 2012 when she released her album 'Born To Die' which I haven't stopped listening to this month. Which is why Ride is on my playlist for November. This song is just so heavenly to listen to, the lyrics, the melody. Perfecto.

Allie X is a QUEEN. I have been a fan of hers for yearsssss.... her songs are just incredibly catchy and just great. She put out an analog version of her recent album 'Super Sunset' and I haven't stopped listening to it this month, so I included a song from that and a song from her older album. The song 'That's So Us' and it is so magical, it's such a chilled pop song. Allie X's voice is so unique and beautiful.

LADY GAGAAA!!! Lady Gaga is like a mum to me. If you know me personally you know how much I love this woman. She has helped me through the darkest of times, she has pulled me out of the deepest and darkest of depressions. I have been a fan of hers for 11 years, she has been the soundtrack to my life. There are NO words to describe how grateful I am to have her on this Earth creating such beautiful music. This month, I've been listening to her album 'Born This Way' a lot, especially the songs I've added into this playlist. Scheiße is a fake-german underground rave song. She wrote this song in Germany and it's one of my favourite songs from Gaga. It's just a banger!!! I've heard it live 3 times, I just never get bored of this song. The other songs on this playlist are also just perfection but there's a special place in my heart for Scheiße.

Finally, we have a song from Melanie Martinez's brand new album 'K-12' I'm obsessed with the song I've added into this playlist, what a song. The melody of this song just makes my body jerk, it's so catchy and just overall a great song. I wanted to add 'Wheels On The Bus' from the same album but I couldn't take any of these songs off this November playlist.

So those are my November Favourites! Feel free to follow me on Spotify and follow that playlist! It's been a pleasure chatting with you, see you on the next post!
