Portals screams death is life is death is life is death is life. A continuous loop. A circle,” Martinez shares

She posted a 12-second sample of a song with the words "back from the grave" last week on Spotify. It is unclear if the clip will be included in the project because it was published without a title or cover art.

At the time of publication, not much was known about Portals, but an upcoming movie is anticipated to include 13 tracks from the album.

The After School EP, the former Voice contestant's final album, was published in the autumn of 2020.

Can't-Wait Till I'm Out of K-12 was her final performance during the K–12 period, and it offered supporters one last chance to see an incredible concert production.

Martinez is conceptualizing her fourth record and a movie, with more information to come.
