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.

Throughout her decade+ career as both a songwriter and recording artist, Tiffany Arbuckle Lee (a.k.a. PLUMB) has established a highly respected voice in both Christian and mainstream circles.  Beginning with her own chart-topping singles (Stranded, Boys Don’t Cry, God-Shaped Hole), Lee developed into a successful writer for others as well (such as Mandy Moore and Michelle Branch).  The breadth of her creative relevance is driven by Lee’s otherworldly voice, making Plumb a perfect fit in numerous film & TV soundtracks (including Bruce Almighty, Vampire Diaries, and One Tree Hill), and widely embraced in the dance/remix community (#1 Billboard Hot Dance smash Hang On, others).  With her biggest breakout single in years, the #1 infectious rock/worship/inspiration anthem Need You Now (How Many Times), title track from a brand full-length album out February, PLUMB is sure to continue turning ears and hearts in 2013.
