Two years after her critically acclaimed 2014 second album 'No Deal', she releases the epic 25-minute masterpiece 'Blackened Cities'!\n\nRadiohead's Philip Selway selected her previous album 'No Deal' as his number one album of the year, praising it highly. The remix album of 'No Deal', supervised by the globally renowned DJ\/radio personality Giles Peterson, featured contributions from Peterson himself, Japan's HEX led by Toshio Matsuura, the Cinematic Orchestra known for their jazz-based electronic sound, and the American indie rock band Eels, generating significant buzz. In 2015, they visited Japan for the Montreux Jazz Festival Japan 2015, delivering a captivating performance that was a resounding success.\n\nThe 25-minute epic single \"Blackened Cities\" is not a continuation of the previous work but a completely separate piece. Inspiration came from the landscapes of post-industrial cities Melanie lived in before turning 18: Manchester, Detroit, Barbau, and her hometown of Charleroi. She created this work with band members she met at the Royal Conservatory of Brussels and close artist friends. The piece begins with a quietness that seems to introduce Melanie's deep, beautiful voice, evolving into an emotionally resonant sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Blackened Cities\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dangervisit","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52388914168097,"sku":"5414939938269","price":1881.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/5414939938269.jpg?v=1771907831","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/5414939938269","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
