The Review

On March 20, 2012 Melanie Fiona released her second studio album titled “The MF Life.” I personally was very excited when I heard that she was coming back out with new material. On March 20, 2012 I went Best Buy to purchase the new album. I also had plans to present Fiona’s new music on my radio show. The first song on the album is titled “This Time” feat J. Cole a rapper signed to Roc-Nation under rap icon Jay-Z. Melanie Fiona is signed to Roc-Nation Management. Therefore, it was very easy for this song to be created due to professional ties to Jay-Z Company Roc-Nation. The song “This Time” is a gritty up-tempo guitar riff with splash of hip-hop. The song is about being a better person in a relationship giving it your all. This song describes if she had a second chance this time would be a different outcome. Hit maker Rico Love produced the first single 4 A.M. released on the album. The song titled 4 A.M. instantly became a hit and peak at the 8# spot on the billboard charts it’s my favorite song. Melanie Fiona “The MF Life” is soulful, sultry, and has so much clarity in her vocals. She just lets all her emotions out into ever song. Melanie Fiona wrote eight out of thirteen songs listed on the album. This new album is a soulful masterpiece by far the best Soul R&B album in recent times. To all DJ and music lovers I advise you right now to purchase “The MF Life” you surely will not be disappointed.
