Melody Thornton makes her solo debut with “Sweet Vendetta,” a brand new song released via iTunes. Since splitting from the Pussycat Dolls, the 26-year-old songbird has been working on her own material, and gives fans a taste with the retro-sounding record that showcases her big voice.

“Just like a wild horse my love is strong/ I’ll be willing to fight for that love and carry on,” sings the soldier of love, who’s currently taping “Popstar to Operastar” in London.
