Remember the name Melanie Fiona. But don’t just remember it because she’s a talented songstress who possesses a world of ability. Instead, remember her name because she belongs to a small fraternity of entertainers who not only work hard, but who stay grounded and humble despite their enormous wealth of talent. With the release of her debut album, The Bridge, on the horizon, Fiona is now getting an opportunity to share both her music and her infectious personality with the world.

Are you excited that your album, The Bridge, is finally off the shelf and into the stores?

I am so excited. It’s [been] a long time coming, but it’s not like I’m the first artist that has had to wait on an album to be released.

What’s the one song that I’m guaranteed to keep on repeat?

I’m getting the vibe that you would like the song, ‘Stop My Heart.’

Tell me about the song.

It samples Frankie Avalon’s ‘Venus,’ which is a song that I love from the ‘50s. I wanted to have that track on my album because it had so much sentimental value for me as a kid. ‘You Stop My Heart’ is the softer side of being in love and it’s very sensuous, very feminine.

What movie would you choose to watch if you wanted to just curl up and relax?

If I had a night to myself where I just wanted to curl up and watch a good movie, it would definitely be True Romance. It has every element that feeds what I’m interested in. It’s got violence, action, love and drugs. I love the way the story was written and what it was all based around, which is actually love. That’s one of my favorite movies of all time.
