The LP "A Stomach Is Burning" by Melanie De Biasio is an intense, atmospheric debut that blends jazz, soul and subtle trip-hop influences into a uniquely intimate soundscape. Centered around De Biasio's smoky, expressive voice and minimalist arrangements of flute, piano, double bass and drums, the record unfolds like a nocturnal journey through melancholy, desire and inner unrest. Rather than relying on virtuosic showmanship, the album draws its power from space, repetition and carefully controlled dynamics, leaving room for silence and tension between the notes. The songs often evolve slowly, building hypnotic grooves and meditative moods that reward attentive listening on vinyl. This makes the LP a perfect choice for late-night sessions and listeners who appreciate emotionally honest, slow-burning jazz beyond genre clichés. As a manufacturer and label, Igloo Records is known for its dedication to contemporary jazz and creative music, with a special focus on European and particularly Belgian artists. The company has built a strong reputation for high-quality productions, supporting distinctive voices in modern jazz and giving them artistic freedom to develop their own sonic identity. Their meticulous approach to recording and curation ensures that releases such as "A Stomach Is Burning" appeal both to audiophiles and adventurous music lovers. Melanie De Biasio, a Belgian vocalist and flautist, has become one of the most striking jazz voices of her generation, celebrated for her restrained, almost minimalist approach and her ability to create intense emotional depth with very few elements. With releases following her debut, she has reached a wider international audience and earned critical acclaim on the European jazz scene, performing at renowned festivals and establishing herself as a reference for modern, atmospheric vocal jazz. This LP captures the beginning of that trajectory and showcases the raw, focused aesthetic that would define her later work.
