Melanie De Biasio's latest No Deal disc has garnered quite the good-reception. A much-deserved reputation encapsulating her haunting voice, the Belgian jazz vocalist has earned herself quite a rap, and it can all be heard on her latest premiere, "With All My Love" from Ghent Jazzfest.
De Biasio has a record with classical training and musicianship. While also adding her grace as a vocalist to the album, she also plays the flute, which she studied at the Conservatoire Royal De Bruxelles.
Born in Charleroi, Belgium, she grew up listening to Maria Callas, David Bowie, Pink Floyd, Jeff Buckley and protest rockers Rage Against the Machine. Her diversity as a musician is marked in the space of her album. While she may channel the likes of Nina Simone, it's in the sounds that you can't hear that she's really trying to reach her audience.
"I like the space in the blackness because you can imagine so many things," she said to Mojo.
"When I go to the cinema that's what I really like to be deep in the black and I can imagine so many things. I think it's luminous too - in the blackness there are all the colours," she continues.
And now, much to our enjoyment, Wondering Sound (a rebranded eMusic blog) has premiered the latest from the budding star. This time, it's a live jam, where she performs "With All My Love."
Trust me, you can really hear the space on this one.
