Melanie Fiona - It Kills Me
Producer: Jay Fenix and Andrea Martin
Album: The Bridge
Label: SRC/Universal Motown
A skilled soul singer can evoke a wide variety of emotions through his or her vocals, but it takes a special kind of talent to wring catharsis out of rock-bottom desperation. With newly-leaked album cut It Kills Me, Melanie Fiona demonstrates that sunny jams like Give It to Me Right and Ay Yo are only the beginning of what she has to offer—here, she dives headfirst into stormy emotional waters, wondering whether she’s out of her mind as she pleads with a man who she loves despite his treating her like trash. Though it’s clear the situation Fiona describes can only lead to more heartache, the singer rises above the bleak subject matter with the help of coproducers Jay Fenix and Andrea Martin, who back her anguished vocals with a sweeping, string-drenched beat (Martin also steps up to the mic to deliver background “Oooh‘s on the chorus). If you’re going through tough times or simply enjoy raw, emotional performances, this is most definitely your jam. For retro-informed soul cuts to suit any mood, pick up a copy of Fiona’s debut album, The Bridge when it drops this fall.

Way better than her first single, been bumping this for a couple of weeks. This is deep right here, blowing up too.

Probably a little slow for listeners here, but I'm quite blown away at how good this track is. And most of that is due to Melanie Fiona's fantastic voice. All her singles have had her distinct flavor to them that I thoroughly enjoy. I think it's the way she sings with that 'short-of-breath-quivering-run' on verses that really vibes with me; very sultry.
It seems like she could have a hot track with a male singer to play off of, with someone like Usher or the likes. Though I think she'd destroy'em on the track. Either way, I hope she comes out with a breakthrough single that can really get her name out. |

I know most of you stayed away from this obvous fact, but I'ma bring it up. HOW FINE IS THE LADY HERE? Geezus! Just beautiful! Her voice and this production is just as beautiful to me. Full smooth and slightly haunting production, mixed with a fantastic vocal arrangement and heartfelt lyrics that I can relate to! Great song!
