"Beautiful" out now: found.ee/Rhye_Beautiful

Melanie Martinez's creative drive and talents have always distinguished her from other musicians. After releasing her platinum-certified 2015 debut album, Cry Baby—which reached No. 1 on Billboard's alternative albums chart and has amassed over two billion streams worldwide —she conceived and directed a video for each song on the album. These mini-movies traced the traumas and insecurities experienced by the album's character, Cry Baby.
 
Melanie’s sophomore album and film, K-12, is another ambitious triumph. K-12's music is a vibrant and singular melting pot of low-key hip-hop, soulful pop and indie-leaning electro. K-12's universe is an expansion of the one introduced in Cry Baby. Using lyrics rich with metaphor, songs address the struggle to find a place to belong—including within friendships, the physical world and romantically—even when fitting into society feels like an uphill battle.
 
To accompany the album, Martinez wrote and directed a 90-minute movie (also called K-12) that incorporates the album's music and mirrors the themes and characters introduced. Filmed on location in Budapest, Hungary, the movie focuses on Cry Baby (portrayed by Martinez) and a class of students who find themselves trapped in a horror house-like residential school. As they experience the usual grade school rites of passage—a lunch room food fight, the embarrassment of gym class, a romance with nefarious intentions, courses taught by checked-out teachers— they have to figure out a way to escape.

I grew up in South Carolina in my family of musicians and now live in Nashville.

I love good stories. I couldn't take a nap during the day if I tried. I think it's best when driving back home to drive all night. Every now and again I can't sleep until I write down and sing to what's keeping me awake. These are those thoughts and stories. I hope very much that you like them.

Based out of Los Angeles, California, Tom Crouch is a British multi-faceted musician and songwriter dedicated to creating transcendent art. 

 

‘A Civil War of Head & Heart’ (released independently April 11th 2016) is Crouch's highly anticipated debut release, with its creation being a trans-atlantic effort collaborating with world class musicians Aaron Sterling (John Mayer/Taylor Swift) and Jon Joseph (Børns/Gungor). Recorded in studios across America and the UK during the autumnal months, its sound is warm and ethereal, with songs that take a trip through the maze of melancholy, slowly progressing in narrative to perch within the palms of peace. 

After a few years separated from the haste of touring, the project was given a focus and intention that didn't rush it into being. ‘A Civil War of Head & Heart’ is the genesis of Crouchs’ endeavours as a writer and a refreshing example of words, melodies and instrumentation woven together over a few years to blossom as nature would have it.

 

Although you'll find yourself new to his personal material, Crouch has spent the past years collaborating with many acclaimed artists such as Gungor, Gabrielle Aplin, The Brilliance, Zane Carney (John Mayer) and Lauren Aquilina. 

His extensive national and international touring experience includes performances in arenas across Europe such as Wembley Arena and the O2, supporting artists such as John Mayer, HAIM, and Ray Davies. His festival appearances include Glastonbury, T in the Park, Hyde Park, V Festival, and the iTunes Festival.
