Isabelle Melo is a Brazilian singer who first gained attention with her 2006 debut album 'Menina dos olhos de Deus.' The title track became her most recognizable song, a ballad about faith that connected with listeners. She grew up in Rio de Janeiro in a musical family and performed locally before recording.

Her music tends toward delicate arrangements and reflective lyrics, as heard in songs like 'A Prova Passou' and 'Chuva de Deus.' She has worked with other Brazilian artists including Ivan Lins and Chico Buarque. Later albums include 'Um Novo Sol' from 2009 and 'Infinito' from 2016.
