In a recent interview, Melanie revealed that her ninth solo record is “done and ready to go”, with the LP seeing her continue to explore “electronic pop music”.

“The last few albums, I’ve been leaning more towards electronic pop music,” she explained.”And with this one, I really wanted to embrace that more, with dance music and all the DJing I’ve been doing.

“I just wanted to have fun with it and create something I love.

“The album is done, and news will be coming soon.”
