As part of the celebrations around its 40th anniversary, Igloo Records re-release the iconic first album of Mélanie de Biasio, “A Stomach is Burning”, as a 180gr vinyl LP.
In 2007, Igloo Records took the jazz chanteuse under its wing and released “A Stomach is Burning” to an unsuspecting world. It proved to be a total revelation (4 stars in Jazz Magazine and an Octave de la Musique award) which pushed her onto the international scene and opened the door to releases on Pias such as the EP (“Blackened Cities”) and two albums (“No Deal” and “Lilies”) that drew ecstatic reviews.
Melanie De Biasio was born on July 12th in 1978 in Charleroi (Belgium), but that is not the point. Her musical path started with a highly classic jazz training course and has led her to other worlds where her love for funk, reggae and groove could be satisfied, but that is not the point.
With her first album, Melanie De Biasio can already rely on close collaborations and unique experiences, but that is not the point.

The point is her fire.
The one that makes her sing. The one that sometimes burns her stomach. The one that gives her energy to put her feelings into notes, words and moods and share them with us in her own way, despite prejudice, obstacles and moments of doubt. Her fire definitely matters. Stirred by congratulations as well as by criticisms, it is a fire spreading among the people who are listening to her. And don’t be surprised if, while she is whispering, you feel a shiver down your spine, it is only a flame that is caressing you…
She is presenting her first album entitled “A stomach is burning”, in close collaboration with five musicians famous for their great capacity for listening and their noble-heartedness. Her compositions and the inspiration generated by these five musicians identities combine harmoniously to offer us a world… let’s say… savagely tame.
