Melanie Martinez Reveals Next Album Title: EXCLUSIVE

Melanie Martinez has already revealed the name of her next album, just three months after the release of “Hades.”

The former “Voice” contestant dropped the news exclusively on TODAY June 26, saying her 2026 album, “Hades” is Part 1 of a two-album effort.

“There’s another album that I haven’t said the name yet, but maybe I’ll say it now. Why not?” the “Dollhouse” singer said as the crowd on the plaza went wild.

“The second album is called ‘Elysium.’ That’s all I’ll say, but it’s a utopian reference, so it’s the other part. It’s the counterpart to it,” she added, as the crowd continued howling.

While she didn’t reveal too much information about the album itself, she did talk about how “Hades,” which topped the Billboard rock and alternative albums chart in April, came together.

“With ‘Hades,’ it was just kind of reflecting on the current times, and the world feels very dystopian, so I wanted to make a dystopian record,” she said, noting she was inspired by the book “Parable of the Sower” by Octavia E. Butler.

“I thought it was time to make an album about all of the topics that I felt were really kind of heavy on my heart and I’m just really happy that resonate with it,” she said.

Martinez has quite the loyal fanbase, which has grown since she appeared on “The Voice” in 2012. It’s a rise that has surprised her.

“I’m always in awe, and unbelievably grateful,” she said.

“And I just feel lucky that I get to do what I love and that I get to put on shows and create safe spaces for people all over the world to come together who are like-minded and creative and passionate,” she added. “And it’s inspiring and I just want to do it for the rest of my life, so I’m just really grateful.”
