THE MF LIFE- MELANIE FIONA


When I first heard Melanie Fiona's voice I became hooked. The soulful raspy Canadian bred artist stole my heart from her first LP The Bridge, not with her album but with her passion and hunger I felt in her vocals.

Wanting to give a 100% in a relationship and doing so are completely two different things, the never ending struggle to devour the past, and learning from your mistakes wraps up The MF Life as a whole. MF gives her numerous attempts at love a soundtrack to remember with her recollection of the lowest of lows to the average man’s capable highs.
Some ballads put you back in that past relationship and sum them up for you in less than four minutes the lessons learned. Easily to tell from this production that MF loves hard, her fear of loving someone honestly and true and the cost that it can bring are sung to a beautiful array.This album not only showcases Melanie Fiona’s talent as an artist but her maturing as a person dealing with everyone’s worst and best friend LOVE.

Melanie’s The MF Life has a strong roster of songs. The singles released are just the tip of the iceberg on this production, which proves her growth from her last album. Almost every song on the album becomes an obstacle course that she overcomes on every level. Smart choices with her collaboration of hip-hop artists, 3 of the most talented in the game today (Nas, J. Cole, and B.o.B.) she can do no wrong. Oh and also kudos to the title with it going either way in meaning, she is truly the MF real deal especially with the recent passing of Whitney Houston, a voice that will not and can not ever be replaced.

BleeVable ★ ★ ★ ★ indeed for The MF Life by Melanie Fiona with 9 out out 13 tracks in constant rotation on my iPod. But the best part is that I BLeeV Melanie Fiona hasn't yet reached her pinnacle and I am expecting classics from her in the future.

Favorite Tracks

This Time Ft. J. Cole- Loved this long from the first second I heard it! With the addition of J. Cole, it gives the track that motivational message of making the best of what’s ahead. Favorite Line: “know its deep when the girl of his dreams is the same one to wake him up”

Break Down These Walls- Melanie sings me to peaceful serenity with this track. Sigh, thank you Melanie. Favorite Part: The end of the song with the guitar solo, AMAZING.

Running Ft. Nas- Melanie kills this obstacle course with record setting times. The gift of song on true display; I am a witness. Favorite Part: “I don’t know if I can do it/Cuz I’m running low on fluid/ Can’t bleev you brought me to this”

Can’t Say I Never Loved You- Simply the ambiance of this song just gives it that retrospective feel of looking back and being satisfied of making the right decision, and being happy because you gave your best. Favorite Part: The chorus, can’t say I never told you that.
