Ok….so last night I offically fell in love with Melanie Fiona's music!!!!I've heard of her here and there-but never took the chance to really sit down and listen to her material. I was a little tight with myself being that I waited so long to get put on to her, lol. Her music is super dope, she definitely has a sound of her own. With her rapsy voice, sick island beats and slight twist of doo-wop mixed with R&B, she is force to be reckoned with. Her sound is pretty unique, and what I love the most about her album is that she stepped out the box and didn't do "typical" R&B songs! Melanie made her 1st appearance opening for Kanye West on his 2008 Tour. With her Canadian-Guyanese background she credits Sade and Bob Marley as her influences. For those who don't know about her let me put you on. Although, I was a little late myself (lol)- I now jumped on the Melanie Fiona bandwagon. Check out her album "The Bridge" that dropped yesterday-hope u folks enjoy!!:)**Here are a few of my personal favs from her album: "Monday Morning", "You Stop My Heart", "Give It To Me Right", "It Kills Me" and "Ay Yo".
i just love her...when i first heard her voice i was expecting a statuesque woman, but her tiny frame belts some hearty notes. I love the freestyle acapella version of somebody come get me...(b4 i kill this man) check it out on youtube, its hot.
ReplyDeleteI just purchased her album last nite.. Mad it went from 5.99 to 7.99 (yea Im cheap. Should of got it when I first seen the 5.99.. Anyways.. So far so good.. I can dig it.. She has a Jazmine Sullivan type of feel.
