Hit: 3 Stars
I first heard of Sharleen Spiteri when I purchased a song called "In Our Lifetime" while she was still a part of the scottish band "Texas". I loved that song, After searching for a solo artist since 1999 I found out in 2009 the song was again performed by a female fronted band called "Texas" and the lead singer was Sharleen Spiteri. I sampled the bands entire catalogue finding nothing else that sounded anything like "In Our Lifetime". I soon found "Melody" the solo project from the lead band member "Shareleen, of course". I figured I'd just take a risk and purchase the album, Since most artists that decide to go solo tend to do things that are nothing like what they were doing with the band. "Melody" is inspired by 50's & 60's rythyms, "I'm into that". The vocals on this album are mediocre, I like the style and sound of the music on the album, However I'm not blown away by it. "I'm Going To Haunt You" is the song that blew me away, It's actually a cover. I saw her perform this song Live, She even crossfaded "These Boots Were Made For Walking" Into the end of the song while performing. I love the melody and spooky sound of it. At times Sharleen sounds identical to Lisa Stansfield , Which is a good thing. While i'm not blown away by this release at all I can still see myself listening to this album and possibly getting attatched after some growing with it.
Melody Poster
2008 solo album from the singer/songwriter and leader of Scottish Pop rockers Texas. Not only did Sharleen write the whole album, she also produced it, taking complete artistic control of its every sonic nuance. Steeped in the sound and textures of '60s Soul, '50s Rock 'N' Roll and Doo-Wop, it's an album that's vintage in flavor yet utterly contemporary in spirit. Beside the new generation of retro-obsessed UK songbirds such as Amy Winehouse, Duffy and Adele, it's a timely reminder that Sharleen was already dabbling in similar influences over a decade ago, be it Tamla Motown ('Black Eyed Boy'), Marvin Gaye ('Say What You Want') or Elvis Presley (cross-dressing up as The King for 2001's 'Inner Smile' video). Going solo has allowed her the freedom to indulge in such consuming passions even further, creating an album that proudly wears its influences on its sleeve. 11 tracks including the first single 'All The Times I Cried'.International Music CDs
