Melanie C has announced plans to release a new album later this year.

The singer will release Stages as her sixth solo studio album this September.

According to an official announcement on her website, the record "features a collection of songs from the theatre that have been important to Melanie at various stages of her life".

Melanie C has worked with longtime collaborator Peter-John Vettese on the project, with a final tracklisting yet to be confirmed.
