Melody (Sharleen Spiteri album)

Melody is the debut solo album by Scottish singer Sharleen Spiteri, lead singer of the band Texas. It was released on 14 July 2008 and was preceded by the release of its lead single "All the Times I Cried", which was released on 7 July 2008. The album is heavily influenced by 1960s era style music, and draws influences from Nancy Sinatra and Johnny Cash. Despite being considered a risky genre to launch her solo career, the album was a commercial success, debuting at number two on the albums charts in her native Scotland, number three in the United Kingdom and reaching the top twenty in France, Belgium and Ireland.

It was supported by the release of a further two singles – "Stop, I Don't Love You Anymore" and "It Was You", and was eventually certified Gold in the United Kingdom for sales in excess of 100,000 copies. It became the 87th best selling album of 2008 in the United Kingdom.
