Description

On Beautiful Intentions Melanie C has worked with veteran producer Greg Haver, who previously worked with the likes of Manic Street Preachers and Super Furry Animals. The result is a sound that is a more mature but organic spin on the pop/rock voice she has developed on this album, her third as a solo star. Although this album has a distinctive rock-sound agenda, with Melanie’s endearing and emotional vocal delivery, there is always a pop-friendly element to her songs. Though she does showcase her incredible voice on a few mellower numbers, such as the piano-led rock ballad of “Better Alone”, hitting all the right sentimental notes of emotional break-ups, and the atmospheric and gentle beauty of “Here & Now”.
