商品の説明

Melanie Fiona is happy to officially announce the release of her sophomore album, THE MF LIFE. The Grammy Award winning singer and songwriter will release her highly anticipated sophomore album for Universal Republic Records/Title 9/SRC THE MF LIFE on March 20, 2012. Just last week, "Fool For You," the hit song she co-wrote with Cee-Lo Green scored Grammy Awards for "Best Traditional R&B Performance" and "Best R&B Song."

THE MF LIFE stays true to Melanie's honesty in her music, songwriting and depth. The album features production from Salaam Remi (Amy Winehouse), No ID (Kanye West, JAY Z, Rihanna), and Andrea Martin (Melanie Fiona's #1 hit, "It Kills Me"), as well as guest appearances from NAS, John Legend, B.o.B, and J.Cole, and writing from Drake. The album's current single. "4 AM" has over 4 million views on VEVO and sets the perfect tone for Melanie's newest musical offering.

"My fans are loyal and genuine and they're definitely in it for the music. I'm sticking to my motto of making good music. I just want to get out there and share my music with people," stated Melanie Fiona.

"She has a muscular voice but still manages a bright tone, making her equally convincing whether she's getting bruised or doing the bruising." - New York Times

Melanie Fiona's 2009 debut, The Bridge, reached No. 4 on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart, No. 4 on the Billboard Heatseekers Albums Chart, and No. 10 on the Billboard Tastemaker Albums Chart. In addition, the album was certified gold in Europe. She's received multiple BET Award, NCAAP Image Award, and Juno Award nominations as well as being crowned "Best New Artist" at the 2010 Soul Train Awards.

Still, it's about to be Melanie Fiona's time. Get ready to live THE MF LIFE with her.

ジョン・レジェンドと共演した「L.O.V.E.」が最高！

　カナダ出身の女性R&Bシンガーということで，ついシャーリーン・スミスを思い浮かべてしまいますが，伸びやかで凛とした歌声は，ジャズミン・サリヴァンとかに近いでしょうか。歌力を感じさせます。楽曲も今風の硬質でアグレッシブなナンバーが多く，パワフルですね。
　ドラマティックで壮大な「Break Down These Walls」に，荘厳でストイックな雰囲気が漂う「4 AM」，シリアスな空気の「Bones」など，悲壮なまでの熱唱が素晴らしいですね。そんな中で，珍しく温和な表情を見せるのが，ジョン・レジェンドと共演した「L.O.V.E.」。これがまたイイんですよ。流麗なピアノに導かれて，しなやかに優しく歌うメラニーに，ハスキーで温もりのあるジョンの歌声が絡み，ハッピーな時間を共有します。タッチは異なりますが，T-Painと共演した「6 AM」も，機械的なのに温もりを感じるトークボックスに，凛としつつも何処となく感傷的なメラニーの歌声が胸に染みます。
　歌力に圧倒されつつも，勇気づけられるポジティブなアルバムです。

il mio giudizio nella media è riferito non tanto al disco di Melanie Fiona (che, per la cronaca, è straordinario e usa suoni RnB vivaci, passionali e a tratti retro) quanto ad AMAZON! Da quando in qua un album "venduto e spedito da Amazon" viene per l'appunto spedito non imballato, quindi senza la pellicola attorno?! Non mi era mai capitata una cosa del genere. Ovviamente, come diretta conseguenza il Jewel Case dell'album non è nelle condizioni ottimali, anzi mi è arrivato con qualche graffio.

I write very few reviews because I'm usually not passionate about most things that I purchase. That is usually the case when it comes to music nowadays. I've heard very few R&B/Soul albums that I can be enthusiastic about. This album earned my attention.

I will be as objective as possible. Yes, she is beautiful but that has no bearing on my opinion toward her music. There are plenty of gorgeous and boring or untalented singers out there. She just happens to be beautiful and talented and soulful.

First off, there isn't a bad track on the album. Every song shows some attention to detail, effort in writing and production. THERE IS NO FILLER HERE! Every song on here is better than the majority of the music released these days. Most artists could only hope to create songs with a fraction of the quality that she puts forth. This is not the greatest album I've ever heard but it would definitely go down as notable and worthy of listening to. I've listened through the whole thing about 8 or 9 times, at this point in time, and I find something new to love about it every time I listen.

I think one of the things that made her last album stand out was its old school feel. She has a more modern sound on this album, although a few songs still reflect an "old soul". She did not sell out, just upgraded. Another quality that she possesses that a number of R&B/Soul artists lack, is the ability to pull off an uptempo song without it sounding forced or corny. She is not restricted to ballads. "Bang Bang" was my favorite song on the first album because it was so rhythmic and authentic.

I was a little nervous initially when I saw all of the rapper cameos on the track listing. Usually when a singer starts to co-mingle their work with rappers, its not good (i.e. Mariah Carey). Surprisingly enough, they all fit well and they all worked for me. Most of the rappers featured, I'm not really a fan of, but they were matched well with their respective songs. There's nothing I hate worse than a rapper cameo that doesn't match the song. Fortunately, they must have all listened to the song lyrics several times before they laid down their tracks. So let me give my opinion track by track:

1) This Time (feat. J. Cole) - All I can say is wow! If this track doesn't grab your attention right off the back, you have no soul! The beat, for lack of a better phrase, "goes hard". The song itself has great lyrics and gets stuck in your head. J. Cole represents on the track and adds to it. On the right sound system, the track is absolutely amazing. Probably my favorite overall. (5 stars)

2) 4 AM - Great song, as most people have already heard. Wasn't crazy about on the radio before but now I love it. Grew on me immensely. The words of the song grabbed me after a while, really captured the emotion. Very unique sound. (5 stars)

3) Break Down These Walls - Could be considered a great folk song. Again great writing and amazing production. I love stringed instruments and piano, so this track has my full attention. The guitar duet at the end of this song is SICK! Even though its a minute and a half, you don't want it to end. Absolutely amazing artistry, like something Kravitz, Santana or Clapton would do. (5 stars)

4) I Been That Girl - Mellow, poignant. This one is for ladies who have been in that not-so-unique situation. Very nice. (4 stars)

5) Wrong Side of A Love Song - Deeply soulful with an old school sound to it. Rich and engaging. Full of emotion. (5 stars)

6) Running (feat. Nas) - Old school uptempo sound. Riding down the street, blasting-out-of-your-car-type track. Nas is no longer one of my favorite rappers but he pulls off an admirable cameo, which adds a lot to the song. He tells the rest of the story that she doesn't have time to do. (4.5 stars)

7) Change the Record (feat. B.O.B.) - You will get sucked in as soon as you hear the opening and then the beat drop. You have to hear it to appreciate it. This contends with "This Time" for hottest beat. And the real surprise was B.O.B. I'm not a huge fan of his but he destroys this track! One of the best cameos I've ever heard. He made an amazing track incredible. Have to listen to this one in the car. (5 stars)

8) Gone and Never Coming Back - If you've ever heard this track, then you know how amazing it is. I wore it out within a week but still love it. I was so impressed with this track when I heard it, that I was afraid that it would be the best track on the album, and overshadow all others. Not the case. If you've never heard it before, then it will probably be your favorite. The only reason that its not still my favorite is because she released it more than 8 months before the rest of the album, and I've played it to death. (5 stars)

9) Bones - Great song, old school feel, kind of cool, kind of creepy at the same time. Just reminds me of how deep some people's feelings can be for someone else. I like it but don't love it. (3.5 stars)

10) Watch Me Work - New anthem for the sexy single person. Old school funk sound. Amazing guitars and drums. If I could have theme music played everywhere I went, this would definitely be one of the songs I would choose. This one stands out from the rest of the album. It appeals to both males and females but it is obviously about a woman. (5 stars)

11) Can't Say I Never Loved You - Sounds like a cross between Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat with that ukelele sound. A lot more soulful than those two. Its not an imitation of anyone else but reminds me of other songs I've heard. Great song nonetheless, really cute and carefree. (4 stars)

12) L.O.V.E. (feat. John Legend) - Kind of cheesy hippie-type song. I admire John Legend but I'm not a huge fan. This sounds like his song featuring Melanie Fiona. Its a great song for MLK day but other than that, doesn't do a whole lot for me. (3 stars)

13) 6 AM (feat. T-Pain) - Let me start by saying, I am not a fan of T-Pain in the least. Often, I can't stand his buffoonery or coonish behavior, but for some reason this track works. Understand that the only justification for this song's existence is that it is a continuation of the story of "4 AM", basically when her man finally gets home. It is urban contemporary and auto-tuning (not Melanie) at its finest. Great beat, I could imagine dancing to this in a party, right after they played "4 AM". It is a little ignorant on his part but in the appropriate environment, very enjoyable. (3 stars on this album, 4.5 stars in the club)

BONUS TRACKS:

14) Rock Paper Scissors - Old school feel but a little formulaic. Doesn't strike me as the most original song, guess that's why it is a bonus track. I like it, I just don't love it. Nice beat, slightly cheesy chorus. Lyrics are cool when you catch the concept of the song. (3.5 stars)

15) Can't Do This No More - Nice production, great lyrics, great hook. Don't know why this one is bonus track. I would have replace "Bones" or "L.O.V.E." with this one. (4.5 stars)

16) What Am I To Do - Interesting song. Really like the piano. Doesn't really do anything for me but not a bad song. Maybe a little formulaic. (3.5 stars)

17) Like I Love You - Dancehall reggae classic sound. Absolutely love this song! Makes me wanna go to a reggae party. Don't know why this was a bonus track, just like "Can't Do This No More", could have easily replaced "Bones" or "L.O.V.E.". Great way to end the album. She really embraces her Guyanese roots on this track. It will make you want to get up and dance with someone. (5 stars)

Well, that's my overview of the album. If you enjoy R&B/Soul or good Urban Contemporary, you should pick up this album. Drop a few extra bucks and get the deluxe edition, two of the tracks are definitely worth it, you might also really like the other two.

Peace

Good Job Melanie!

Segundo trabajo de esta canadiense editado en el 2012 que llego al top 10 en las listas del Billboard 200 y Top Digital Albums; y al numero 1 en R&B Albums.
El CD contiene esta relacion de canciones:
1 This Time feat. J.Cole
2 4 AM
3 Break Down These Walls
4 I Been That Girl
5 Wrong Side Of A Love Song
6 Running feat: Nas
7 Change The Record feat: B.o.B

Para mi es mucho mejor album que el anterior.
Melanie esta influenciada por gente como Angie Stone, Jill Scott o Mary J. Blige; y la podriamos englobar dentro del grupo de Keyshia Cole, Elle Varner o Marsha Ambrosius.
Gran album de R&B contemporaneo.
