im a fan

I bought this album on iTunes last night. I’m listening to it. It’s nice. I love love love her song “It Kills Me.” Her vocals are crazy. The sound is what I’d have to get used to but overall, it’s nice.

Wow this album came out ages ago in the UK..

Her album cover looks really scary.

The album is a BANGER! Soon as I heard “It Kills Me” I knew I had 2 have the album. Hope she does good numbers. Gotta support real music & real singers. Her vocals are BANANAS!

This woman is gorgeous!

@PAULA maybe because it is an ode to the one she worships, satan

i bought this album like 1 month ago on itunes and it was available on amazon mp3. this chick is sick! her vocal style definitely sets her from the overplayed artists. i can’t wait until her next album drops. i love every track!!!

it kills me is my jam!!!i will be getting this album soon

im deffinately goin to cop her cd.. we have to support good music no matter what the genere.. When i saw her video on BET (which i NEVER watch) i thought she was gonna be something pretty huge and i wish her so much success and good fortune she also seems to b a very sweet and humble young lady u have to dig that about her.. im copping her album and pressuring all my friends to do so as well lol!!

“Magic” is the shyt!!!! Her voice is incredible

Does anyone notice how they made her skin lighter for these photos. She is very beautiful but they are trying to make her look yellow. Shes clearly brown in her videos. Smh

I like her music.

This is a really great album. If you’re a fan of real R&B/Soul, you’ll enjoy this. Melanie Fiona is a gifted vocalist, and the lyrical content is great too. I hope everyone supports her!

her cd is bananas…please support melanie because its time we celebrate true artistry not the crap they are feeding us on a daily…fav songs…it kills me…monday morning and you stop my heart…luv it

Ummm I loove tracks “Ayo” “Give it To Me Right” and “Kills Me” Otherwise the album is okie doke. but her voice is amazing and I can see her doin big things in the future.

This is real music with some substance, I will most certainly support her and get the c.d.

Melanie Fionaaaaa, representing for Toronto!

“a pop, funk, hip-hip soul, R&B filled release with a hint of reggae flavor adorned with both impressive vocal tone and gritty delivery.” sounds like the description of estelle’s album. anywho i flipped past her performance on 106&Park the other day. she’s talented but not destinct, if amarie, latoya, brandy, and nem can’t break out into stardom i don’t think she will either.

Am I the only person that thinks she resembles Chaka Khan i’m her younger days on her album cover?

OMG, I HEARD IT KILLS ME FOR THE FIRST TIME A LIL BIT AGO AND INSTANTLY LOVED IT! I CAUGHT MELANIE ON 106 AND SHE HAS A VERY BUBBLY PERSONALITY AS WELL AS BEAUTY.

great album

AMAZING ALBUM!

SHES an awesome talent! Support this one yall!

She is like the new Alicia Keys as far as bringing new soul back. I listened to her album, and I will definitely be buying. She has wonderful talent.

Sidenote: Her hair is so luscious, I found out it was real too!! I love my natural hair, but I wouldn’t mind having hers either lol

SO WHAT

Love her and her album. Correction she’s not Guyanese, her parents are but she’s Canadian born and raised.

Sad Songs is a big big tune, I believe the beat is from Silly Games by Janet Kay … I think, not sure correct me if Im wrong but yh i love it lol

I like melanie fiona, I think she’s very talented, I really hope that she’ll be recognized.

Been on Melanie since concreteloop posted her first single “give it to me right”. I loveeeeeee this girl, she is my favorite artist of 09′. I am glad she is really getting more shine as well.

By far my favorite new artist of the year and her album is just amazing. I love EVERY SONG. It’s crazy how you can listen to it and hear the soul roots but at the same time it sounds so modern. I really hope she gets the recognition she deserves.

CL who is Latifah Mohammed?
dont worry i liked her post tee hee

Melanie fiona is the next best thing out there, finally the world can hear and see truee talent on both the inside and out!

LOVE HER and of course shes is reppin the one and only TORONTO, do your thing mahh!

I bought the album a few weeks ago when it was on sale at itunes for $5.99. The album is very good. I like every song on there. She’s become my favorite new artist and she’s a great performer. I’m really hoping her talents won’t be ignored and that she’ll have longevity in the game. People say they want real music, where here it is right here.

Love her cd. She has a great voice too, something very rare in popular music nowadays.

Big ups to Melanie - she is representing Toronto right! i didn’t like her debut singel at all, but I am loving her single, It Kills me! I haven’t heard the album yet, but I will definitely check it out. Best of luck to her!

@ paula and watcher, i think her album cover is meant to be a tribute to the mowtown era. anyway, i love her album. i bought it off itunes canada.

the cover makes it looks old school.

I love her. She sings so good live!

We haven’t had a new female artist actually become popular in a long time. Not in about 4 or 5 years we need to get it together but I’m not feeling those songs. And to the person that said Brandy can’t break out into stardom @19. wow how old are you?? LOL Brandy was HUGE in the 90s up to about 2001 or ‘02 she lost her appeal.

Oh yeah I also wanted to add its been so hard for new black artists to make a name for themselves because #1 MTV and BET do not show videos anymore. It was really messed up when MTV took off TRL. That really hurt new artists because now they aren’t able to get any TV time for when its necessary. If you are not already established its hard for you to gain a fanbase through the internet because #1 black people would rather download your sh*t if they aren’t familiar with you and #2 believe it or not, not a lot of people browse the web for new music. They can’t reach the people that don’t get on the internet all the time like that. There are a lot of young black artists that should be stars right now and MTV needs to get it together. That’s where most of the promotion came from for new artists.

“It Kills Me” is definitely my song!
TORONTO!

And she doesn’t worship Satan .. @ WATCHER.

Oh and this girl can truely sing.
Saw her on 106 and she sounded really good!

she’s a beautiful girl, with a great voice (LIVE vocals are on point).. i hope her album does well

i can’t stop playing “it kills me”
my bff just got me hip to her about a week ago….

gonna get the album today!!!

LOOOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEE THIS CD I DOWNLOADED IT OFF ITUNES AND BEEN CRANKIN IT SINCE THEN… SAD SONGS, IT KILLS ME, ARE SO HOT… BUY HER CD

I love It Kills Me…and she is very beautiful! Good luck to her!

I got her album off itunes over the weekend and I like. I love her voice. Cute girl

Melanie Fiona has a great voice.

@NeNe - Yeah…that Brandy comment threw me off too.

I’m really feeling Melanie, but I can never find her album when I’m in the stores.

@ Nene
I agree with your post in some respect, but I have one question when you reference that *Black folks would rather download your music if they don’t know the artist well*??…I hope you mean download illegally, because I download almost everything unless it is a FAVORITE artist of mine. I PAY for my downloaded music…. whole albums cost no more than 9.99 often on sale fist day of release for 4.99…. ….and legal purchased downloads are tracked as sales.. anywho..!!
Miss Melanie F. is very talented, and I hope we as Black folks support her and any other artist we enjoy by buying their music and supporting there effort in this entertainment game.

I have to say, I was highly disappointed in Melanie Fiona’s album. There is only 1 song on the entire album that I love to death and that is “Sad Songs”. After all the hype..I expected more from her.

Melanie is a doll. She came to bmore last month, and showed the city so much love. G

i’ve been meanin 2 cop this 4 a while btw when you mention amy winehouse don’t you mean in her PRE drug addict days not POST?

The best PURE R&B album out since Jazmine Sullivan’s Fearless from last year. Real R&B is so hard to come by these days.

@Watcher

The cover is not an ode to Satan. Stop it LOL

Didn’t care for her at first but I dig her now. Good luck Melanie!

…ACTUALLY, THE MOST ANTICIPATED ALBUMOF 2010 IS AMY WINEHOUSES!!!!

@51 I couldn’t find it in stores either, and I live in Los Angeles. I turned towards Amazon.com to get a copy (physical). It only ran me about $8.99 with out the tax (which I love). I can’t force myself to purchase an album on iTunes. I just have to have a physical copy. Is there anyone here that can convince me to start?

Whoever is criticizing this talented singer… I wonder what bs you like to listen to? Seriously, it’s a shame that people don’t like real music anymore, just a gimmick. What has our world come to? Just because she’s not damn near naked on single covers and in magazines, and trying to come out with hardcore or “metaphor” songs… people wanna say that she’s not talented or isn’t good enough? I absolutely love “It Kills Me” the other songs disappointed me a whole lot. I wish she would have more deep and emotional ballads like “It Kills Me” but nonetheless, this female is extremely talented. Too bad she won’t make it, due to the bubblegum brainwashed music fans.

Like I said on one of the other Melanie Fiona posts. She is absolutely incredible. Her live perfomances are great too if u haven’t seen her perform live make sure y’all check her out, she is amazing vocalist. She is bringing quality music back, & anybody who says any different is hating hard. Respect great artistry this woman is talented & her songs are good enough to get nominated for this coming up Grammy’s in a couple mnths.

Some little girl in India is bald as ….

@ Joe….if you really enjoy lots of music you may want to look into purchasing the digital download of an album…I have well over 780+ whole albums and I tell you this I haven’t the space nor time to store all that mess. I keep all my “real cd’s stored and only purchase those cd’s from Certain artist. Everything else is downloaded I have a rhapsody,amazon, and Zune pass…whom ever is selling the item for the lowest price gets the the buy from me. I mean don’t a fair number of folks have an Ipod, Zune, Sansa or something with a car kit…why do you need a cd unless your collecting plastic and Art. I understand the whole reading the lyrics cover to cover as well, but you can download cover art and make yourself a *hard copy* if you’d like. Try it you might like it. PS I save little music to my laptop most is saved on TWO/ Separate
Removable Drives….plenty of space for a music geek. Hope this is helpful and buy Melanie Fiona’s CD and if you can find her Radio Show with Questlove in Philly (mid July)peep that too.

I like her. Bang Bang is different and catchy.

I HEARD HER WHOLE ALBUM ON HER MYSPACE PAGE….LOVE IT 2 DEATH!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS TRULY AN ALBUM U CAN LISTEN 2 FROM BEGINNING TO END!!!!! GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ Tell it like it is…. FYI no there is not a bald Indian some where silly cause she is Indian her parents are Guyanese Indian. I wont waste time responding to Paula or Watcher cause that’s obviously hatred!!

Although it is a nice comparison because Amy Winehouse is talented… Unlike Amy Melanie eclectic music style is her roots the Island flava (from her family) & North American Soul (she’s Canadian).

Melly Mel keep doing u stay on that cause road cause you’ve already made it. From that day in “The Pub” I got goose bumps & now I get all teary eyed every time u sing!! Give it to dem ya my girl!! People BUY HER ALBUM you spend more on fast food in a day!!!!
Bless ♥

I went to 4 different stores before I got this album and I’m glad I went thru the trouble cause her CD is fire, I love it .”And it kills me to know hom much I love this song” LOL

She’s awesome. There arent a lot of female artist out now that can actually SING but this chick SINGS and does it well. Next to Bey she might be one of my new favorite artists
