Melanie Williams is a United Kingdom based singer. She is best known for singing on the hit record "Ain't No Love (Ain't No Use)" alongside the Manchester dance outfit Sub Sub (who later became Doves).
Career
Williams launched a solo career in 1994 as a soul/dance singer, signed to Columbia Records. Her debut solo single, "All Cried Out!" was promoted well but only peaked at #40. The follow-up, "Everyday Thang" did better and broke the Top 40. Her next single, the ballad "Not Enough?" received good reviews and promotions, yet it became her biggest flop, managing only a #65 chart placing. Her debut album Human Cradle was released to generally good reviews, yet it failed to reach the UK Top 100.
Early in 1995, Melanie Williams returned to the UK Top 40 with a cover of "You Are Everything" (a duet with Joe Roberts). The song reached #28. The subsequent single from "Human Cradle" was scheduled, "Terrified". It was withdrawn at the last minute, but was still available via special order from Columbia Records.
The The Other Two's second album Superhighways featured Melanie Williams on some tracks as a guest vocalist.
