Going back to her time with Texas, Sharleen Spiteri was one of a kind at the time because she was a female front to a band. Their debut single in 1989, I Don’t Want a Lover, was one of their biggest hits. Here, Sharleen chats to us about the inspiration for the song, what it’s like going solo and what the rest of the band are up to.

Formed in Glasgow in 1988, Texas were one of the biggest bands of the last 2 decades. With 13 Top 10 hits under their belts, their most successful albums White on Blonde, The Hush and their Greatest Hits went platinium. Sharleen Spiteri’s debut solo album “Melody” was released earlier this year. She wrote and produced the whole album, recording it in Glasgow, London and Spain. The first single she released from the album was “All the Times I Cried” followed by “Stop, I Don’t Love You Anymore.”
