http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25201223&rws=%2Fmelanie-fiona%2Fdiscography.rssEverything Melanie Fiona does is coated in a vintage soul sheen. Born Melanie Hall, the Guyanese-Canadian singer-songwriter was raised in Toronto by a guitarist father and a mother who introduced her daughter to classic R&B ranging from the Ronettes to Whitney Houston. As an artist, she has developed a heavily retro sound that pays tribute to the girl groups, Motown crooners and soul divas who've gone before her -- and she's got the powerhouse R&B vocals to back it up. So it only makes sense that, after several years of plugging away in the business (including the attention-getting track "Somebody Come Get Me," featured on <I>Reggae Gold 2008</I>), she was signed to Motown. Fiona's vintage leanings aren't limited to soul, however. Her first single, "Give It to Me Right" (off debut album <I>The Bridge</I>, which dropped in 2009) sampled the Zombies' classic "Time of the Season." Fiona also has plenty of contemporary support: She worked closely with songwriter Andrea Martin on her debut and toured with Kanye West when her album was still just a glimmer in Motown's eye. - RDEVITTContemporary R&Ben720Sun, 19 May 2013 03:20:39 +0000 http://static.rhap.com/rotw/images/logo_rhapsody_113x22.gif http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.25201223&rws=%2Fmelanie-fiona%2Fdiscography.rss Everything Melanie Fiona does is coated in a vintage soul sheen.
