Melanie Fiona
Give It To Me Right

SRC/Island

WE SAY

Melanie Fiona's debut album The Bridge is due out later this year. There’s a buzz about the Canadian artist both stateside and over here - especially after her supporting Kanye West on European dates of his Glow In The Dark tour. This has been playlisted on Kiss and BBC 1Xtra, and is currently getting plays on Choice FM too. The sampling of the bassline from The Zombie's Time Of The Season lends it instant familiarity. She will support Daniel Merriweather on UK dates later this year. JF
