The singer also shares how her travels in Lisbon and Brazil brought new life to her music: "I sat under a tree and I had this thought," says Melody, "which is if you sit under a tree long enough, either somebody finds you or you find yourself. And I found myself."
Melody appeared on UK TV show Later... With Jools Holland last week, performing both "Mira" and "Amalia". Both songs appear on The Absence, which is due May 29, 2012 on jazz label Verve Records (pre-order now on Amazon).
She also recently unveiled a colorful clip shot in Brazil for "Mira," while the video for the official single, "Amalia," is coming soon.
