This Time

This Time is the fourth studio album released by the English singer Melanie C. It was initially released on 30 March 2007 in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, followed by a wider release in the United Kingdom and other territories on 2 April 2007. The album was developed with a forward-looking thematic focus on the present and future, while continuing Melanie C's pop rock style and drawing on influences from artists such as Coldplay and the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It features collaborations with Guy Chambers, Richard Flack, Stephen Hague, Steve Mac, Phil Thornalley, and Peter Vettese. The album received mixed reviews from music critics, who were divided over its songwriting, with several praising Melanie C's vocal performance and production but criticising the material as inconsistent. Commercially, This Time continued the trend of Melanie C's releases performing more strongly outside the United Kingdom, achieving greater success in continental Europe, where it peaked at number eight in Switzerland and number 15 in Germany, while also charting in Austria, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Belgium, and Scotland. It was certified Gold in Switzerland for shipments of 20,000 units.
