I Will Wait

Melody Thornton

A brilliant performer with a lifetime of experience, soulful pop siren Melody remains a breath of fresh air; blending aspects of her Mexican/African-American heritage with her wild Western Arizona roots. In 2012, the GRAMMY nominated singer-songwriter dropped her first mixtape, P.O.Y.B.L. Her impressive range and powerful delivery turned heads, garnering glowing reviews. A combination of sass and savoir-faire culled from her years on stage allowed her to produce pieces that reflected her musical identity – a youthful, contemporary sound like something you’d hear in a filmscore. She draws influence from artists like Shirley Bassey, Nancy Sinatra, B.B. King, the Jackson 5, Aretha Franklin and Al Green, but adds her own creative twist; the result is a blend of her own perspective with an infusion of the classics, leading to an unmistakable sound. Compelling, original and versatile, Melody has fashioned a fabulous and fascinating solo career. Not only can she rock the stage with her powerhouse vocal abilities and sharp, smooth choreography, she writes, co-produces, and directs a large part of her career. Her hunger to create meaningful songs while staying true to her musical identity make it easy for her to create fully realized songs. Her latest single “Love Will Return” was released in November 2019, Flaunt Magazine referenced the song as “powerful and eloquent.” Melody returns with the powerful new ballad “I Will Wait,” her debut EP Lioness Eyes is schedule for release Summer 2020.
