Melanie Fiona Covers Sway Magazine
Click cover for full-size version - why wouldn't you??
An actually decent magazine published by the Toronto Star targeted toward Black Canadians. Read the feature article written by the homie, Del from the Vibes N Stuff blog HERE.
Follow - @MelanieFiona [Sway apparently doesn't have a twitter account, nor is their site optimized for social media sharing - in 2010?? Really?? #FAIL!]

I know this is song is semi-old news at this point but: 1. the song is kind of a modern-day classic, especially after smashing the charts, 2. homegirl is GT from the T.dot (and my future wife - back off, Banhameen) and 3. the video is the iTunes Music Video of the Week and downloadable for FREE until Monday, March 15th. Get the details HERE.

Video: Melanie Fiona - Subway Series (Canada)
This is such a great idea and she's such a talent. Even if her debut album, The Bridge doesn't go, this girl will be a star eventually. Mark my words!

Video: Yours Truly and Hip Hop Official present 'Melanie Fiona's Dusty Fingers'
The pitch:
"Melanie Fiona represents the next chapter in a storied history of female soul singers to possess the passion, power and grace to lift the spirits of the musical hopeful with the simple sound of her voice. But God given ability aside, Melanie is most importantly, an avid music maniac! Dusty Fingers, the newest series in the Yours Truly canon, is set inside San Francisco’s best record stores, and is meant to demonstrate that all artists are first and foremost, fans."

An unofficial video for a song presumably from the soundtrack to the movie, Obsessed. Posted mainly because Melanie Fiona is the hottest. Song is actually kind of nice too though.

New music: Melanie Fiona feat. Busta Rhymes & Raekwon - "Give It To Me Right (remix)"
I love this chick (her music ain't too bad either) but how do you put out a remix for a track that doesn't even have a video yet (?) and, as far as I'm aware, isn't a hit yet either??

Video: Melanie Fiona's Paper Magazine Showcase in New York
I covered this before but this is a new "official" video clip with behind-the-scenes footage. In it she explains why she needed such a big band - I still think she should have done more than 5 songs after spending all that money though!
