Reinvention is often an essential part of an artist’s journey, but few projects capture that process as personally as Amana Melome’s latest release. With Recalibrated The Remixes, the multidisciplinary artist transforms familiar material into an energetic celebration of identity, creative freedom and musical discovery.
Released on 25 September 2026, the ten-track collection brings together international producers working across dub reggae, funk, disco, jazz-house and soulful deep house. Rather than simply revisiting previous recordings, the project gives each composition a new personality while maintaining the emotional foundations of the original material.
A Global Collection of Musical Perspectives
The album revisits songs from Melome’s Recalibration project, including ‘SO DONE!’, ‘CON C.ALMA’ and ‘RECALIBRATION’. Each receives a distinctive interpretation from producers including Cee Elassaad, Joel Holmes, Somos Animales, Opolopo, Eli Anai and GodBlessComputers.
One of the album’s defining moments arrives with ‘Space Age Mama Jama RECALIBRATED’. The track reimagines the first song Melome’ ever recorded, originally appearing on her debut album Indigo Red! more than a decade ago.
For this new version, she reunites with original producer Saverio ‘Sage’ Principini, creating a musical connection between her beginnings and her present-day artistic identity. Acclaimed pianist Deron Johnson, known for his work with Miles Davis and Stanley Clarke, also contributes to the arrangement.
The Personal Story Behind the Music
Melome’s return to music is closely connected to her experience of motherhood and rediscovering her creative identity. After stepping back from her career to raise her daughter, she gradually found the opportunity to reconnect with her artistic ambitions.
Coming from a musical family, with jazz musician Jimmy Woode as her grandfather, she has developed a creative identity influenced by multiple cultures and disciplines. Her work extends beyond music into writing, painting, ceramics and dance.
This multidisciplinary approach is reflected throughout Recalibrated The Remixes, which brings together different sounds without losing its personal message.
A Celebration of Becoming
At its heart, the album explores what happens when the process of self-discovery reaches a new stage. It is about embracing personal strength, letting go of limiting beliefs and finding the confidence to express every aspect of oneself.
With its international production collaborations and adventurous musical direction, Recalibrated The Remixes marks an exciting chapter for an artist whose creative journey continues to evolve.
