'''''Melankton''''' is the debut album by Norwegian singer, [Kate Havnevik](/source/Kate_Havnevik), featuring the single "Unlike Me," and the song "Nowhere Warm" as featured on the TV show ''[Grey's Anatomy](/source/Grey's_Anatomy)''. The album was released in her home country of Norway on April 10, 2006, before being issued in the UK, accompanied by a bonus track, entitled "Travel In Time," which was written and produced with Carmen Rizzo (and featured in an episode of TV show ''[The O.C.](/source/The_O.C.)'' in 2005). Rizzo also helped mix some tracks and master the record.

The album premiered online on Havnevik's official website for 48 hours from 11–12 March 2006, and was added to [Apple Computer](/source/Apple_Computer)'s [iTunes](/source/iTunes) music store on 27 March 2006. ''Melankton'' was mixed and mastered in [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles), having been recorded in [London](/source/London), [Bratislava](/source/Bratislava), [Oslo](/source/Oslo), [Reykjavík](/source/Reykjav%C3%ADk) and [Los Angeles](/source/Los_Angeles). The strings were recorded first in [Bratislava](/source/Bratislava) and [Oslo](/source/Oslo), and the vocals were recorded last in Havnevik's [London](/source/London) flat. In addition, the album also features production from [Frou Frou](/source/Frou_Frou_(band)) member, [Guy Sigsworth](/source/Guy_Sigsworth), who contributes tracks including "Unlike Me," "Not Fair" and "You Again." [Sean McGhee](/source/Sean_McGhee) mixed the majority of the album as well as co writing a number of songs.
