Melanie Williams is a UK 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). Apparently she was a friend of the trio and they were all pleasantly surprised when it became such a hit.

Career

Williams launched a solo career in 1994, signed to Columbia records. The style was soul/dance. Her debut solo single, "All Cried Out!" was promoted well but failed to do much, peaking at a not-so-glamourous #60. The follow-up, "Everyday Thang" did better and broke the Top 40. Next, her first ballad was unveiled on the public: "Not Enough?". The single received good reviews and promotions, yet it became her biggest flop, managing only a #65 chart placing.

Thereafter, her debut album, "Human Cradle" was released to generally rather good reviews, yet it failed to reach the UK Top 100. Early in 1995, Melanie Williams returned to the UK Top 40 with her cover of "You Are Everything" (duet with Joe Roberts). The song reached #28. Another single from "Human Cradle" was scheduled: the sorrowful "Terrified". However, it was withdrawn last minute, but was still available via special order from Columbia records, for diehard fans.

The The Other Two's second album Superhighways, featured Melanie Williams on some tracks as a guest vocalist.
