''ARCHANGEL OF VENUS'' (stylized in all caps) is the tenth studio record released by Melanie Martinez under Pearlescent 79 Records. The album fully released on October 26th 2040.

The album marks Melanie's seventh release to be credited as producer and having full ownership of the album.

## Background.

After the prominent success of her three year world tour of the ALL CREATURES Tour , Melanie announced she would be taking a 4 year break.

During this break , Melanie took a vacation in Japan and her time in Japan inspired the record and its aesthetic , Melanie wrote 8 of the 13 tracks during this time.

Melanie stated in a Billboard interview..

*''Well- I've been writing on something new and , this album I think might be my favorite album so far. It fully forms my whole emotions on everything. I've dealt with so much over my career with people attempting to stomp on my personal life and spread rumors about me although I have proof to disclose those rumors but the public doesn't want to listen me anymore because all they read are titles and headlines. But the people that stayed with me , I truly love them and that same love fueled lots of tracks on the record.''*

*"in short , its as if myself was an album itself.''*

Melanie on her Instagram posted..

*''Japan , you wonderful , amazing , blooming place , you hold something in my heart 🍄🔥''*

## Build Up.

To build up anticipation for the record , there were fireworks that were shot in NYC , these fireworks once they had gone off would have the words ''MARTINEZ 10'' result in the aftermath. As well , Melanie would send fans files in Instagram.

The files were encrypted , someone would first have to refresh the file to unlock a morse code then translate the morse code to gain the code then input that code to unlock the file. Afterwards it would show a 30 second visualizer for a song , the song titles were crypted however Melanie would send fans letters these letters being jumbled up.

Un-jumbling the letters would reveal the song title , as well a few more information about the track that they were sent , then Melanie would soon release snippets , each snippet being sequence as fans figured out the hidden story , as the snippets was about the pink creature breaking out of a dragon's carcass and then claiming the sword upon the dragon's head.

Then Melanie released one last build up , a message on her YouTube Bio which in her location it said..

*''Location : The Heavens of Venus.''*

Afterwards , Melanie would clear once more clear her Instagram feed , only leaving one snippet left. A snippet of a supposed dragon devouring a star as soon Fireworks were blasted in NYC , the effect being ''Melanie Martinez - Archangel of Venus'' left behind.

## Promotion Cycle.

Melanie announced ARCHANGEL OF VENUS officially on June 12th , 2040 on her Instagram at 2:22 AM.

*''Have the warnings told you yet..? I'm so happy to announce my tenth studio record , ARCHANGEL OF VENUS 🧚, made from the starlight of life and the shadows of our own vessels , I'm pleased to release this record to you , coming on October 26th. Fly to Venus with me soon❤️‍🔥 ! (available for preorder right now.)*

To promote the album , Melanie used a tactic called ''Venus Hatching'' similar to her ''Egg Hatching'' promotional from PORTALS.

### Venus Hatching.

Melanie would send fans packages that included fake moss and an egg , to unlock the egg someone would have to reveal the egg to light for at least 30 minutes. Shortly afterwards it would open.

In the box was a letter that read..

*''You are part of my story , now hold your sword tight , and go and fight against the life that you were given.''*

*''Never was given a purpose , we were all here to make our own , create our own future , our own golden pathway.''*

*''I've learned from torment and battles , that at the end , no one will matter more than the people you hold dear.''*

*''Join my light , Archangel of Venus.''*

*''[TRACK NAME.] GIVE TO [USERNAME]"*

Afterwards , in the egg was a disk , inputting this disk to anything would lead to a file showing up , this file being titled ''AOV - [Track Name]'' it would lead to a short video which had the track music playing in the background with a caption on the screen the videos are similar to the NYMPHOLOGY Promotional Video.

Melanie released a few snippets during this time , the first one with the caption of *''hold my vessel's essence.''* wherein the pink creature was holding a glowing light the caption likely alluding to the song ESSENCE.

The second one with the caption of *''turn my anguish into swords''* wherein the pink creature was holding a black-gooey sword the caption likely alluding to the song SWORDS

The third one with the caption of *''drink from the goblet of aphrodite , and feel her blessing run through mortals.''* the caption likely alluding to the song GOBLET OF APHRODITE

### Singles and Promotion Cycles

Melanie released the lead single of the record *PIROUETTE* on June 29th on her Instagram with a poem.

## Themes.

In an Apple Music Interview..

*''I wanted this album to truly embrace the art of being human , to embrace the art of having to deal with mistakes. Using those arrows thrown at you and turning them into flowers. The record deals with thoughts of self-doubt , release and regrets and forgets of moments you wish you never had existed and moments you wish could happen again.''*

*''This album feels like a culmination of my thoughts and my own view on life.''*

When asked about the title of the record..

*''Well since archangels are like celestial warriors and I use the planet Venus dominantly in my imagery , I decided that since this album would be about emotion and my own view on life , it would fit since i'm technically ''defending my own view''''*
