On the eve of the eagerly awaited Spice Girls reunion, Melanie C makes a welcome return with ‘This Time’ - the beautiful third single to be taken from her critically acclaimed LP of the same name. Written by Melanie’s long-standing collaborator Adam Argyle, it’s a powerful re-working of the original album version and soars with Melanie’s trademark tour-de-force vocals.With almost a decade of touring to her name, Melanie’s natural progression as an artist is perfectly reflected here. Released October 22nd, ‘This Time’ is one of her favourite songs to perform live. Available on 3-track enhanced CD & 7 vinyl, each format boasts previously unreleased material, including: ‘We Love To Entertain You’ and an alternative version of the album opener ‘Understand’, produced by Stephen Hague (New Order, Malcolm McClaren, Siouxsie & The Banshees). The accompanying video - directed by Adrian Moat s personally dedicated to Melanie’s late collaborator Tim Royes.Featuring 12 stunning pop tracks and a shimmering guitar sound, ‘This Time’ it’s her first LP since 2005’s platinum ‘Beautiful Intentions’.
A personal triumph for the accomplished singer/songwriter, highlights include the defiantly addictive ‘Protected’ (which Melanie co-wrote with Guy Chambers & Cathy Dennis) and the stellar reinvigoration of the classic 80’s hit ‘I Want Candy’.
Melanie has co-written 11 UK Number 1s more than any other female artist in chart history and remains the only female performer to top the charts independently and as part of a duo, quartet & quintet. Her three previous solo albums have sold 3 million copies collectively.
