Melanie Chisholm should need no introduction. The numbers speak for themselves: 3 million solo album sales, 6 Top 10 singles, and over 200 combined weeks on the UK charts. She is one of the most successful British female artists of the last decade. She has co-written 11 UK Number 1’s – 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.

Melanie is back in full force with the release of her fourth solo CD ‘This Time’. She achieved European and UK hit singles with the songs ‘The Moment You Believe’ and ‘I Want Candy’, however in Canada, Melanie is preparing to dominate radio charts with the song ‘Carolyna’, co-written with Steve Mac and Paul Gendler. Opening with supple guitar chords, it reaches fever pitch over a razor-sharp chorus and a passionate melody. Produced by Steve Mac, whose credits include Mariah Carey and Kelly Clarkson, ‘Carolyna’ is the perfect reflection of the new album, which features 12 stunning pop tracks and a shimmering acoustic-led sound.

From the very first listen there’s no denying Melanie’s artistic growth and evolved personal depth as a writer. With almost a decade of live performances to her name, her natural progression is perfectly reflected here. From beginning to end, the LP boasts beautiful, intimate lyrics against a backdrop of smooth, dynamic sounds -- ‘This Time’ is undoubtedly her time. In particular, the LP reaches an emotive fever pitch with ‘Your Mistake’ – a track delicately written about her parents’ separation. “That song definitely ran a little deeper and was very cathartic. As with the rest of the album, my heart’s on my sleeve.”
