"Candy Land" stylized as "CandyLand" is Melanie Martinez's 2nd studio album, released on 05.01.2018. The album was made to go along with a movie that made the fans wait a long time for the album. After signing to her new label, Happynight Records, Melanie was pushed to erase the Crybaby story, but she didn't do it.
Background
The story is said by Crybaby's perspective. She is introducing new characters. The story is happening in CandyLand. This place is happy til you see the dark side of it, the bullies in schools, bad people and Crybaby is forced to live here and lives a very sad life because of school bullies & her mom. In this album she finally finds love. At the end of the story, she gets along with it and starts being more happy. Melanie has said that the third album will still be about Crybaby.
