Melody Thornton - Sweet Vendetta
Artist: Melody Thornton
Producer: Church & State
Album: None (Promo Single)
Label: Unsigned
Though Nicole Scherzinger famously dominated the spotlight as frontwoman of the Pussycat Dolls, the singer’s solo career hasn’t been the graceful ascent to prominence that she may have hoped. Could it be that the real superstar was standing in the shadows all along? With the second Booth feature for crewmate Melody Thornton, we just might have to entertain the possibility. Retro-informed scorcher Sweet Vendetta finds Thornton trading the Dolls’ burlesque-pop style for a razor-sharp blend of old-school soul and modern pop. Backed by co-songwriters Church & State‘s Motown-esque rhythm section and atmospheric string/keyboard accents, the singer makes full use of her powerful pipes, chronicling how she rose like a Phoenix from the ashes of a failed relationship, even after being “stabbed in the back,” by the man she loves. Thronton’s passion and drive are crystal-clear, but does she have what it takes to make it as a solo soul diva? If you’re leaning towards the affirmative, keep it locked you-know-where for all the latest on her developing career.

If Melody can find someone (a label with guts) to believe in this sound and back her she has a great album in her. Can we get Cee-Lo to exec produce? Asking too much?

I agree DJ Z..Very Unique sound. Taking it back. Track def has some potential i think there could be more instrumentation. Its kind of repetitive, but overall pretty nice track.

With Nicole it's best to mute the volume and roll with the visuals.
With Melody... turn it up! The vocal display here is impressive. |

This has that Kill Bill old school vibe going for it. With pipes like that Melody should have a bright future...

I read this, unfamiliar with who she is, and saw she was in the Pussycat Dolls, so I was not expecting much. However, I was pleasantly surprised. Her voice is great, but the instrumentals is definitely the highlight.

Great Voice on her! I too was unfamiliar with her until I read up a bit, very good old school feel.

I like Mel, but I'm not a fan of this particular effort from her. She can sing though.
