I’VE GOT MY EYE ON YOU… MELANIE FIONA


Whilst you may find it strange her first and surname are made up of two first names, you’ll soon forget when listening to Ms Fiona’s (see what I mean?) sultry voice. The latest protégé of Steve Rifkind (the music veteran who blessed us with Wu – Tang Clan and Akon (ok, Akon not such a blessing, but hey Mama Africa is a tuuuunnnne!), she has mostly gained a good fan base by opening up the European leg of Kanye’s ‘Glow in the Dark’ tour.


If you regularly tune into ‘London’s No. 1 Station for Hip Hop and RnB’, you will be familiar with the song ‘Give It to Me Right’, Ms Fiona’s debut single. Her debut album ‘The Bridge’ is to be released later this month and as I’m liking the sounds the current single is bringing, I’m feeling enticed to possibly go full hog and get the album.


Citing Sam Cooke, Nat King Cole and Gladys Knight as inspirations for her album, surely the result can only be a gooden?
