  • Description

    Madrugada (Portuguese for Daybreak) was a 1974 release on Neighborhood Records.

    Melanie was already known as a great songwriter and this album highlighted the fact that she was also a brilliant interpreter of other people's songs.

    So along with six originals by Melanie we also have Lover's Cross (Jim Croce), Pretty Boy Floyd (Woody Guthrie), Wild Horses (Jagger/Richards), I Think It's Going to Rain Today (Randy Newman) and Will You Love Me Tomorrow (Goffin/King).

    Includes the Bonus Track I Am Being Guided which was not available on the UK release. Singles taken from the album were Will You Love Me Tomorrow (a UK Top 40 Hit), Love To Lose Again and Lover's Cross.

    The critics raved: "Madrugada contains a flawless rendering of Jim Croce's Lover's Cross and is easily her most acclaimed album to date". "Melanie is at her best... innovative and captivating". "Melanie never sounded better".

    "Superb, overwhelming powerful vocals, thoroughly enjoyable".

    Available for the first time on CD.
