Sharleen Spiteri - Melody
Sharleen Spiteri - All The Times I CriedSharleen Spiteri - Stop I Don't Love You Anymore
Sharleen Spiteri releases her brand new single Stop I Don't Love You Anymore through Mercury Records Stop… is a whip-cracking slice of bittersweet break-up pop in the classic Motown and Northern Soul tradition.
Stop is taken from Sharleen's debut solo album Melody which went straight into the album charts at No 3, and has stayed Top Ten since - being declared Gold for 100,000 sales after just three weeks!
Stop follows up Sharleen's debut solo single, the Airplay smash hit All The Times I Cried, which has been a fixture in and around the UK Airplay Top Ten since release, achieving a coveted Radio 2 'A' Playlisting - it is still being added to numerous ILR stations over a month after release and has received a Nielson award for 10,000 UK radio plays.
The release of Melody has seen Sharleen back in huge demand with over 10 performances on a range of massive UK TV shows from Later with Jools Holland to the Andrew Marr Show, via Graham Norton, The Charlotte Church Show and Transmission.
Sharleen has also performed radio sessions for Radio 2 and Virgin as well as slotting in a triumphant main stage surprise performance at hometown festival T in the Park. Press plaudits include the NME who called Melody 'a succulent record of Dusty Springfield-isms'.
Sharleen has taken complete artistic control on Melody to write and produce what she calls 'my ultimate personal fantasy record'. Man of the moment Bernard Butler also co-produces one track with Sharleen. Melody is a musically stylish, lyrically powerful album which boasts a blinding array of pop gems. Steeped in the sound and textures of '60s soul, '50s rock'n'roll and doo-wop, Melody is an album that's vintage in flavour yet utterly contemporary in spirit. 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).
Catchy, tender, sexy, soulful, frisky and once heard never forgotten. Melody is most definitely Sharleen Spiteri to the core.

Leon Jean-Marie: ilikemusic because... It transcends. It really creates emotion with someone. That feeling it gives you, it goes through boundaries. To create something, it just breaks through all the walls. When you connect with a song, that is it, that is magic isn't it?

Peter Cincotti: ilikemusic because... Of what the world would be without it. It’d be a very scary place. I think we’d all be screwed.
Jo Whiley: ilikemusic because... It makes me laugh and it makes my cry and it gets me out of a stress if I’m in a stress, and, if I’m in a good place then it will make me in a better place. It’s all about the emotion, it’s all about the feeling where music takes you to and what affect it has on you.
