Melanie Fiona Is Holding It Down For Female R&B Artists With New Album

There aren’t too many females doing real R&B  now a days but I do believe Melanie Fiona “The MF Life” is holding it down.  While most have taken the pop route she remains true to the soul with her ‘Purple’ heart felt lyrics.  We were able to attend her listening party at Electric Lady Studios where she expressed her favorite songs and why.  Melanie who is beautiful inside and out made her rounds around the room to thank everyone individually and stamp a purple heart on their arms, spreading the love.

The album is officially out in stores and I recommend a listen from beginnng to end, a 4 1/2 hearts rating.

I Been That Girl – Written & produced by Drake

L.O.V.E – Features John Legend & was written by John & Melanie after they did their collaboration Wake Up Everybody.

Wrong Side Of A Love Song – Written by Melanie & produced by Jack Splash. One of Melanie’s favorite song off the album.  This song apparently changed her life and confesses that she was the most vulnerable on this track.

THIS TIME- Ft. Label mate J.COLE : Take a listen!
