I edited a page about the American singer/song written by Melanie Martinez. My reason for this editing is that she released a new album, and no one has updated information about her progress and the influence it has had on the billboard chart and sales. I also wanted to add more details from her previous albums and concepts such as her “K-12” movie adaptation and more.

She expressed that her music fills the void between life and death with therapy books she has been obsessed with. She also wanted to end her” Cry Baby” ara that she created to show her new start in her career.

This magazine article was released in 2019 when Martinez released her “K-12” album and adapted her own movie from her album. In the short article, she expresses her creativity towards certain scenes with her music from the movie. She explains her message threw the featured songs talked about, such as “Strawberry Shortcake” and “Nurses Office”. Strawberry Shortcake gives the perception of how a female body is looked at in society, while nurses' office goes over the imperfections of being seen and heard.

The reason why I edited this because I relized how much more I needed to include in my citations from working on this article. I have been very invested in editing Melanie Martinez due to her new outlook for music, which include her new album
