Melanie Fiona // This Time [Feat. J. Cole]

I’ve never really paid much notice to Melanie Fiona before. I’d downloaded a few of her songs - and they were good; but she never really grabbed my attention to have me go and listen to her debut album.

Well that’s all changed with her new single “This Time”. With a heavy, military style beat, bluesy guitars and rich vocals, the track is a gorgeous piece of hip-hop inspired soul. With J. Cole providing a stellar verse, it’s great to see someone giving us a great R&B record now that Jazmine’s Sullivan’s out of the spotlight forever :( for a bit.

With collaborations with Nas and B.o.B on her upcoming sophomore album, “The MF Life” (don’t worry, I cringed at the title too), it seems that Melanie is blending a lot more of this Hip-Hop influence into her upcoming ‘stadium soul’ record. And with “This Time” overtaking “Monday Morning” as my favourite song from her, it seems like that ain’t a bad thing too.
