VERSION OF ME Az angol énekesnő, Melanie C hetedik stúdióalbuma. 2016. október 21-én jelent meg a Red Girl Records gondozásában, rendkívül pozitív kritikákat kapott. Ez lett a legmagasabb slágerlistás albuma a 2005-ös Beautiful Intentions óta, a 25. helyen debütálva a brit albumlistán. Németországban később, 2017-ben jelent meg, és ez volt az első albuma, amely a top 20-on kívül került fel.

HÁTTÉR

Melanie C 2014-ben kezdte el felvenni az albumot, és akkoriban nem ez volt az egyetlen fókusza. Kifejtette: „Mert a múltban mindig „Jól mentem”. „Itt az album ideje”, egymást követő írási ülésekkel. De ennél a lemeznél más dolgok is történtek. És valójában azt hiszem, ez nagyon jót tett a lemeznek, mert sosem unalmasodtam el, tudod? Úgy éreztem, mintha az élet folytatódna, és ezek a forgatókönyvek újra és újra felmerülnének, és ez nagyon inspiráló volt. Nem éreztem úgy, hogy ismétlem magam, mert csak ráéreztem, szóval ez nagyon klassz volt. Az album egyik dala, mint tudod, a „Version of Me”, és szerintem ez egy nagyon jó albumcím. Minden lemez én voltam abban a pillanatban, és ez valójában annak a kifejeződése, ami az elmúlt öt évben történt az életemben. Szóval ez nagyon jó érzés volt. Az is tetszik, hogy mindannyian ezt csináljuk, mindannyiunknak van egy verziója önmagunkról. Nagyon másképp beszélünk a barátainkkal, mint a főnökünkkel, vagy amikor az iskolában egy tanárral vagyunk. Mi vagyunk ezek a személyek, de annyi verziónk van."
Zeneileg a Version of Me egy popalbum, amely R&B és elektronikus elemeket tartalmaz.

KRITIKA

Stephen Thomas Erlewine az AllMusic-tól úgy találta, hogy az album dalai „erős kontúrokkal rendelkeznek: nem feltétlenül rekedtebb dallamok, hanem olyan hangszerelések, amelyek a mozgást hangsúlyozzák a csillogás helyett. A Version of Me továbbra is hajlamos a stílusba omlani, az érzésre koncentrál a dal helyett, de Melanie C végül egy kis lendületet ad az albumnak. Nem számít, mennyire fesztelen és elegáns az elektronikus surroundja, a csillogásukat földhözragadtságával átszúrja, és ez váratlanul ideges szívet kölcsönöz a Version of Me-nek.” Martin Townsend a The Daily Express-től az albumot „egy nagyon tudatos gyakorlatnak nevezte a modern RR&B ízű popban. Ez időnként hibának tűnik: különösen a „Numb” tele van annyi hangzásbeli trükkel, hogy úgy hangzik, mintha építők dolgoznának a stúdióban [de] amikor a producerek lenyugszanak, és rekedten erőteljes, de mindig kissé sebezhető hangja szárnyalni engedi, mint a záró kvartett számoknál, az eredmény kiváló.”
A Music News Jeremy Williams-Chalmers „kihagyhatatlannak” nevezte az albumot, és ezt írta: „Version Az „of Me” című album címe találó. Ez határozottan Melanie C, de mint mindig, egy olyan Melanie C, amelyet korábban még nem dolgoztak fel lemezen [...] A Sons of Sonixszal való összeállás Melanie C-nek egy olyan hangzást kölcsönöz, amely modern, és tökéletes egyensúlyt teremt az új, fiatalabb rajongók megnyerése és a régi rajongók igényeinek kielégítése között [...] Ennek eredményeként az album több R'n'B himnusz-erős, mint Melanie bármely korábbi munkája, de ez nem rossz dolog." Michael Smith a Renowene for Sound-tól az albumot „trendi dalgyűjteményként” jellemezte; „egy olyan dalgyűjteményként, amely megmutatja Melanie potenciális helyét az elektronikus zenében a jövőben, annak ellenére, hogy továbbra is nagyon közel áll a popspektrumhoz, és egyidejűleg megerősíti potenciális sokoldalúságát. Ahelyett, hogy hagyná karrierjét tizenhét év szólóelőadóként elhalványulni, Melanie C valami kicsit másba fog a Version of Me-vel, és könnyedén sikerül neki."

MÁS DALOK

ONE MINUTE - Kislemez: Anymore (2016)

KISLEMEZEK

NUMB Sons Of Sonix kislemeze, Melanie C közreműködésével. A világméretű digitális megjelenés 2016. július 29-én volt. Ez volt az első Melanie kislemez megjelenése három év után (a Loving You óta), és nem kapott fizikai megjelenést. Bár hivatalos kislemez, a dal nem kapott hivatalos videoklipet, csak egy szöveges videót, amelyet 2016. július 29-én tettek közzé Melanie C hivatalos YouTube-ján.
A Sons Of Sonix egy brit produkciós duó, amely közös kiadók révén ismerkedett meg Melanie C-vel. Melanie régóta (a The Night óta) szeretett volna egy elektronikus szintipop albumot készíteni, és az új producerekkel megtalálta a tökéletes lehetőséget. Öt dalt készítettek a Version Of Me albumról. A „Numb” volt a harmadik zene, amelyet Los Angelesben készítettek. 2016 májusában fejezték be a dalt. A dalszöveg arról szól, hogy ne tedd palackba az érzéseidet, és engedd szabaddá az érzelmeidet

ANYMORE Melanie C brit énekesnő dala, amelyet hetedik stúdióalbumához, a Version of Me (2016) vett fel. Eltérve korábbi albumainak pop rock hangzásától, az uptempo electropop dalt az album vezető kislemezének választották, és Chris Evans rádiós műsorvezető BBC Radio 2 reggeli műsorában mutatták be 2016. szeptember 6-án. Azóta az első helyet érte el a listán. UK Physical Singles Chart Top 100 chart.
Az „Anymore” című dalt Melanie C és Adam Argyle írta, és egy kudarcba fulladt kapcsolatról szól. Egy 2017-es Focus interjúban az énekes így nyilatkozott a dalról: „Nem mondanám, hogy konkrétan valakire gondoltam. Inkább arról az általános elképzelésről szól, hogy egy kapcsolat véget ér, miközben továbbra is nagyon kötődsz az exedhez. Elmész a barátaiddal, és megpróbálod elterelni a figyelmedet, de egyszerűen nem tudod kiverni a fejedből azt a személyt.” Zeneileg Melanie C a The Weekndet nevezte meg a dal „nagy befolyásolójaként”, így nyilatkozva: „Egy olyan dalt akartam írni, amire egyszerűen táncolni kell.” Az „Anymore” gyártását Moses „Mo” Samuels és Olaniyi Michael „Mikey” Akinkunmi felügyelte a dél-londoni SOS Music produkciós duóból.

DEAR LIFE Version Of Me második hivatalos kislemeze, amely 2016. december 16-án jelent meg.

HOLD ON Melanie C brit énekes, harmadik kislemeze a hetedik albumjáról, a Version of Me-ról, amit 2017. március 17-én jelent meg. Az albumon csak bónusz dalként szerepel, amit 2017. februárban jelent meg Németországban. Alex Francis, akivel énekli a dalt, március elején bejelentette, hogy kislemez készül a dalból, ami március közepén megjelent.

ROOM FOR LOVE Melanie 2017. augusztus 2-án a Twitteren megerősítette a „Room For Love” megjelenését hetedik, Version Of Me című albumának negyedik hivatalos kislemezeként, miután közzétett egy online hirdetést, amelyben arra kérte a rajongókat, hogy vegyenek részt a kísérő zenei videóban, és küldjenek felvételt éneklésükről. a dal mellett. A digitális kiadás augusztus 18-án jelent meg.
Melanie C elmondta, hogy a „Room For Love” a rajongók egyik kedvenc száma volt az albumról, ezért úgy döntött, nem csak kislemezként ad ki, hanem videómontázst is készít a rajongókkal, akik előadják a számot. A videókat Melanie hivatalos weboldalára kell feltölteni. A videóban három Spice Girls-beli hársa is szerepel Geri Halliwell, Victoria Beckham, és Emma Bunton.

DALSZÖVEGEK

DEAR LIFE

Don't know if I believe in a God
Don't know if I believe there's not
Don't know if I believe in fate
Don't know if I believe we make our own way
I love, I lose, I scar when I bruise, why, dear life?

Sometimes I feel you carry me, and then I feel you're letting go
No ties, I'm wild, running free, am I a fool to think I'm in control?
Should I lay back, and let the tide wash over me or fight?
Dear life, what do you hold from me?

Maybe I should believe what I'm told
Maybe I should believe what glitters is gold
Maybe I should say what's on my mind
Maybe if I keep my mouth shut I'll be fine
I hate, I burn, I bless and curse, why, dear life?

Sometimes I feel you carry me, and then I feel you're letting go
No ties, I'm wild, running free, am I a fool to think I'm in control?
Am I a fool to think I'm in control?
Should I lay back, and let the tide wash over me or fight?
Dear life

The only thing I know for sure when I get enough of this life
The only thing I know for sure, we're gonna be alright
The only thing I know for sure when I get enough of this life
The only thing I know for sure, we're gonna be alright

ESCALATOR

The whole city is on fast forward
Blink twice and you're in for the race, not even quite a rush hour
And I can't keep up with the pace of it all
The weight of the fall, so we ride the wave
People tripping over mad feet
Escalator moving too fast for me, don't you ever go slowly?
You won't ever bring me to my knees
Won't give in, if it's sink or we swim, I'll float away
With all these good intentions, something's still not right
I've been drowning in possessions, clinging on for dear life

Is it enough, oh, tell me, is it enough?
When you ask yourself the question
Can you feel it in your bones, is it enough?

I don't wanna get political
But when we all put together we don't fall
Would it be so terrible if we all held each other so much more?
Then we do, am I getting through to you when you break the chain?
Take a minute to consider it
Let go of all we're convinced we need
Together we can make more of this
Together we can do more of walk that same direction
Form a real connection along the way
With all these good intentions, something's still not right
I've been drowning in possessions, clinging on for dear life

Is it enough, oh, tell me, is it enough?
When you ask yourself the question
Can you feel it in your bones, is it enough?

When you ask yourself the question
Can you feel it in your bones?
Are you holding onto something you're afraid of letting go?

Is it enough, oh, tell me, is it enough?
When you ask yourself the question
Can you feel it in your bones, is it enough, is it enough?

ANYMORE

I've been trying to not think about you lately
Trying to do myself some good
But I'm failing (failing) failing (failing)
I've been looking for something else to distract me
Looking for someone who's looking for someone
Worth saving (saving) save me (save me)
I feel the beat, kicking in my chest
Close my eyes and wait, but it's not working yet

I hear the music but I can't dance, I should be moving but I'm stuck
And I need to fight this feeling, so I stay here on the floor
I'm not supposed to love you, not supposed to love you anymore

I've been looking for you in all these places
Looking for you in all these faces
I push through (push through) to get through (get through)
I've been trying to lose myself in the light
Trying to find myself in the night
Without you (without you) can't find you (find you)
I feel the beat, kicking in my chest
Close my eyes and wait, but it's not working yet

Don't wanna go home when the lights come up
Don't wanna go home
Don't wanna go home when the lights come up
Don't wanna go home (Don't wanna go home)

SOMETHING FOR THE FIRE

In the morning I miss you, but I won't go back
Step off this train this one way track
You're caught in the distance, but I don't know why?
When you justified your exit signs
It don't matter, just a memory been and gone
Nature carries on, pulling me along

Something for the fire, something for the fire
Something for the fire, for the fire
Something for the fire, something for the fire
Something for the fire, for the fire

In a month of Sundays I could take you back
You're in my rear view fading black
Don't know my destination, but I'm on my way
Too long to get here from today
It don't matter, just a memory been and gone
Nature carries on, pulling me along

Something for the fire, something for the fire
Something for the fire, for the fire
Something for the fire, something for the fire
Something for the fire, for the fire

And our love is burning in the flames never to return
As the embers start to lose their glow turn to ash and go
Turn to ash and go

Something for the fire, something for the fire
Something for the fire, for the fire
Something for the fire, something for the fire
Something for the fire, for the fire
Something for the fire, something for the fire
Something for the fire, for the fire
Something for the fire, something for the fire
Something for the fire, for the fire

In the morning I miss you but I won't go back
Step off this train this one way track

VERSION OF ME

This is not your playground, I’m not here for you to shoot me down
Preying on my weakness, even when you’re not around
Nothing lasts forever, but you’re wrapped around my DNA
And I’m hiding in the corner as the wounded kid I was
Like it was yesterday, like nothing’s changed
All that you’ve done you see, ever so quietly
Comes creeping back up on me, haunting me, goading me
Why can’t you let go of me, I don’t have the patience anymore

That’s not me, I won’t be the version of me
The one you think you’re comfortable with
The one you think you had your fun with
If I can’t trust myself, why should I trust anyone else?

All that you’ve done you see, ever so quietly
Keeps creeping back up on me, haunting me, goading me
Why can’t you let go of me, I don’t have the patience anymore

That’s not me, I won’t be the version of me
The one you think you’re comfortable with
The one you think you had your fun with, that’s not me
That’s not me, I won’t be the version of me
The one you think you’re comfortable with
The one you think you had your fun with
If I can’t trust myself, why should I trust anyone else?

NUMB

I believe starry eyes, with every drop there's a healing
Let it be, let 'em cry, but just don't keep the pain inside, inside
Let go of the pain inside, inside
Don't keep it together, oh, let it run away
Don't hold back the river, let go, let it run away

Before it makes you numb
It will only make you numb, and you won't be numb

Now you're free, you can fly, can you feel your heart, now it's beating
You will see, paradise, just don't get lost in the pain inside, inside
Let go of the pain inside, inside
Don't keep it together, oh let it run away
Don't hold back the river, let go let it run away

Before it makes you numb
It will only make you numb, and you won't be numb
And you won't be numb

I believe, starry eyes, with every drop , there's a heling
Let it be, let 'em cry

Before it makes you numb
It will only make you numb, and you won't be

ROOM FOR LOVE

Stumbling down the same old street, that used to be paved with gold
Nothing I see is impressing me, maybe I'm getting old
I never knew, hiding around the corner, was a promise of another road
'Cause when you think is over, you burst open

I'm moving on something is telling me now I got room for love
Somebody said "gotta make room for love"
Holding up a sign, a room for love
You've got enough, make room for love
(Something is telling me now I got room for love)
(Somebody said "gotta make room for love")
Holding up a sign, a room for love
You've got enough, make room for love

Caught up in veiled emotion, but nothing is set in stone
Questioning your devotion, gave me the courage to just let go
I make the move, yeah, cause waiting around that corner
Was everything I dreamed coming true
Just when you think is over, you burst wide open

I'll take it all something is telling me now I got room for love
Somebody said "gotta make room for love"
Holding up a sign, a room for love
You've got enough, make room for love
(Something is telling me now I got room for love)
(Somebody said "gotta make room for love")
Holding up a sign, a room for love
You've got enough, make room for love

Let it fill you up, open up your heart, it will leave you breathless
Make room for love, let it take you high, you deserve it
Let it fill you up, open up your heart, it will leave you breathless
Make room for love, let it take you high, you deserve it

Something is telling me now I got room for love
Somebody said I gotta make room for love
I'm holding up a sign for love
You've got enough, make room for love
(Let it fill you up) (Open up your heart, it will leave you breathless)
(Make room for love) (Let it take you high, you deserve it)
Holding up a sign, a room for love
You've got enough, make room for love

UNRAVELLING

Since I met you I've been unravelling
Questioning everything I say or do
All of these words don't mean anything
Nothing means anything when I'm not with you
And the strength that I held in the palm of my hand is slipping
And the sense that I have slowly is melting away

You rocked my world, made me forget myself
I started to learn how I could be somebody else
Discovered the girl I thought I could never be
Now I am hurt, you're leaving for somebody else, oh

I'm not a fool, though I behave like one
Can't help it, I've come undone, too late to turn back
The strength that I held in the grip of my hand is slipping
And the sense that I had almost has melted away

I fell in blindly, but love still denies me
I wasn't ready for losing control, oh no
We played by the same rules, you did what you had to
Whatever your reasons I have to let go

But you rocked my world, made me forget myself
I started to learn how I could be somebody else
Discovered the girl I thought I could never be
And now I am hurt, you're leaving but I won't forget
You rocked my world, made me forget myself (You rocked my world)
I started to learn how I could be somebody else (Started to learn)
Discovered the girl I thought I could never be (Discovered the girl)
Now I am hurt, you're leaving for somebody else

LOVING YOU BETTER

Come inside, I'll take your coat
Leave your broken outside, I'll close the door
I know that it's hard to do, being you
It's a lonely road so let me bring you home
Don't look back, don't you ever give your heartache away
'Cos I got you baby, you can give it all to me
And I'll hold it safely, you know you can count on me

So close your eyes, dive, let go of it all
Believe you will survive, let love break the fall
I won't let go, I won't let go, no
If I'm just here to give you love
Then that's what I'm here to do, to do
If I'm loving you better that's cool, cool
Don't tell me what I could lose oh oh
If I'm loving you better that's cool, cool, if I'm loving you

Tonight we can take it slow
You need a shoulder to cry on, let me know
Whatever I gotta do, I'll pull you through it
It's a lonely road but I can bring you home
Don't look back, don't you ever give your heartache away
'Cos I got you baby, you can give it all to me
And I'll hold it safely, you know you can count on me

Think of nothing darling, lay down your head, I've got it
For all the things you've done I'll pay you back with love
And don't you worry about the pressure, cCos I can make it better
Lean on my love, let me take away your pain

So close your eyes, dive, let go of it all
Believe you will survive, let love break the fall
I won't let go, I won't let go, no
If I'm just here to give you love
Then that's what I'm here to do to do
If I'm loving you better that's cool, cool
Don't tell me what I could lose oh oh
If I'm loving you better that's cool, cool, if I'm loving you, loving you

OUR HISTORY

In the guise of my protection you claim your innocence
A little time, some reflection, still doesn't make sense
When it comes to you and me I know we're never gonna change
We could pull apart our history, we'd still be in this place
Here we are going round in circles, we'd best be careful, whoa oh
There you go doing something hurtful, do you think that's working whoa oh

There's a point of no return but you don't seem to know
There's a time when everybody's gotta let it go
There's a line you can't help but cross
You don't even know what you've done

Do we have the same agenda and do we share the same respect?
There could be a day when I surrender, vut you know we're not there yet
Here we are still going round in circles, we'd best be careful, whoa oh
And there you go doing something hurtful, do you think that's working whoa oh

There you go doing something hurtful, now do you think that's working whoa oh

There's a point of no return but you don't seem to know
There's a time when everybody's gotta let it go
There's a line you can't help but cross
You don't even know what you've done (no)
There's a point of no return but you don't seem to know
There's a time when everybody's gotta let it go
There's a line you can't help but cross
You don't even know what you've done (no)

BLAME

You took me on, and you nearly took me down
You're never gonna get anywhere, you never really got anywhere
Lost track of times that I have tried to say
Oh, something has to change, I never really got anywhere
Pound for pound, we stumble through the rounds, I'm bruised
Tit for tat, can't ever take it back, we both lose

You're never gonna stop the rain
But you know you're gonna be OK, when you love someone
There'll always be another fight
But you know you're gonna be alright, when you love someone

I'll take the blame, since you decided you're the victim
I never meant to let you down, I never really let you down
Don't recognize the things that you remember
Oh, life's so different through your eyes, I never meant to let you down
Time to time, I wonder how we died, do you?
Day after day, the past is washed away, we're through

You're never gonna stop the rain
But you know you're gonna be OK, when you love someone
There'll always be another fight
But you know you're gonna be alright, when you love someone

It's been the problem all along, you wouldn't hear when I tried to tell you
And how you can pretend there was nothing wrong, nothing wrong

You're never gonna stop the rain
But you know you're gonna be OK, when you love someone
There'll always be another fight
But you know you're gonna be alright, when you love someone

HOLD ON
(MELANIE C * ALEX FRANCIS)

Don't give up, don't lose faith
Can't take for granted, it will be ok
Years have faded, and time moves on
I don't want to stand aside, and watch us come undone

Can we hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to this love
Can we hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to this love

Questions answered, darkness is clear
Eyes wide open, flashing all our fears
From the silence, hope is born
Can we stay together, and welcome a new dawn
I don't wanna walk, I don't wanna walk away
I don't wanna walk, I want you to stay

Can we hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to this love
Can we hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to this love

I never wanted to let you down
So the conversation, in circles round
We could leave it all, and walk away
Wounds may heal, but scars may show
So I'm asking you to, hold to this love

Can we hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to this love
Can we hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to this love
Can we hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on to this love

ONE MINUTE

One minute you’re young and in love
Next minute it’s tearing you up
How is it that everything changed?
Why is it you’re ruled by your pain?

When it feels like you’re fighting a war
But you don’t know what you’re fighting for
Don’t try to make sense of it all
Go ahead, let go, you won’t fall, go ahead, let go, you won’t fall

One minute you’re free as a bird
Next minute you’re caged and you’re hurt
When one of those days leaves you lost
When everything you do is wrong

When it feels like you’re fighting a war
But you don’t know what you’re fighting for
Don’t try to make sense of it all
Go ahead, let go, you won’t fall, go ahead, let go, you won’t fall
Go ahead, go ahead, you won’t fall
