About Amana Melomé :

 

Soulful jazz-pop songstress, Amana Melomé, is proud to announce

the release of Lock & Key: The Remixes. This remix ep was

officially released in early 2016, hot on the heels of her 2015

album Lock and Key. Mark de Clive Lowe’s soulful house remix of

Lock and Key off the EP recently debuted on SoulBounce, which

supported Amana in the past. The album collaboration features the

magic touch of talented producers Mark de Clive-Lowe, Opolopo, Daz-I-Kue (Bugz In The Attic), Filip, Slimbo and Firefly, who got their hands on Amana‘s sultry vocals and put their own signature spins on them. From broken beat to house, from breaks to afrobeat and beyond, this EP is sure to find its way onto every party playlist!

 

Not only has SoulBounce supported the album, but Essence.com

featured “Icarus” the remix by Opolopo in their “New and Next”

column spotlights as well. Melome prides herself on her sultry

vocals and funky beats that celebrate the beauty of individuality

and being true to yourself. Essence.com raves about her music,

saying “Amana Melome is a European born, Caribbean-American

wanderlust who travels the world and incorporates every piece of

her journey into her music.”

 

Melome’s passion for all types of music is evident in her Lock and

Key, however, the Euro-Caribbean-American artist’s roots are in

jazz, having had her grandfather Jimmy Woode record with such

greats as Duke Ellington and Ella Fitzgerald. Melome has previously

headlined numerous international Jazz festivals, performed for

events for Fendi and Dior, and held a lead role on the Italian

sitcom Un Medico in Famiglia. With a strong international presence

already, Melome is working to break into the US market.

The original Lock and Key is produced by grammy award nominated

Adam Berg and Itai Shapira, known for their work with artists such as

Aloe Blacc, Alice Russel and Rhye, to name a few.

You can follow Melome live with various gigs across Europe and

Asia.
