Editorial Review:
Sharleen Spiteri releases her debut solo album 'Melody'. Best known for her role fronting multi-platinum selling guitarband Texas, Spiteri has a familiarity about her voice that has remained since she first appeared on the music scene. Taking influence from a spectrum that includes Nancy Sinatra, Johnny Cash and Motown, the Glaswegian's music leaps into a new direction. Her vocal range is sharper than ever and is perfectly complimented by brass sections and dreamy, dramaticmusic. Singles include 'All The Times I Cried'.

chill out with Sharleen This is a great chill out album, a slight taste of Texas but in general this is Sharleen's baby. Great vocals that gently hook you in and relax you. She tries a number of styles and influences so this is, at times, hard to define as an album, so the best thing to do is just sit back and enjoy!
Recommended.
Oh so middle-of-road Amy Winehouse / Duffy I haven't read the other reviews on here (don't want to be influenced by them), but I bet more than one person has mentioned that this gorgeous, slinky little album is more than a little reminiscent of both Amy Winehouse and Duffy. In fact, it's a bit embarrassing to admit to buying this album as it's probably been put together by the producers who thought: "Hmm, Amy Winehouse and Duffy are huge at the moment - how can we produce something that's really similar, but aimed at the slightly less edgy audience.... more info
My first Sharleen-related purchase [G W Hope's son reviewing.] I had never been a huge fan of Texas, but I always really enjoyed the classics such as "I Don't Want A Lover," "In Demand" and "Say What You Want" when I was younger. I always thought Sharleen had a fantastic voice so I bought this album upon the strength of the first single "All The Times I Cried." I'm extremely glad I bought it; in my opinion I found it even slightly better than that of Duffy or Amy Winehouse, to who Spiteri is similarly compared to throughout this album... more info
a melody! a harmony! a perfect album! as the voice of glaswegian pop/rock texas sharleen gave us some amazing recordings! with a lost of interest in the band(their last album "red book" was stunning and deserved to a lot better) sharleen is steeping out on her own! the lyrics for every song as brilliant...(i do like reading them as i listen!) full of references to lost love and moving on! the album has a heavy 60's vibe aka diana ross and the supremes in their heyday...produced to perfection so it doesnt sound dated! a... more info
