Melanie Fiona is an emerging R&B artist who released her first album, "The Bridge," last year. I am not really a huge R&B person and - in the spirit of total transparency - I'm actually not a huge fan of this entire album. She's also a Kanye West protege, which is kind of a bummer since he's a major douche squirt . That said, this song is equal parts catchy, original and makes-you-all-smiley. Not to mention a total throwback. Love it.
Currently touring with Alicia Keys, Melanie Fiona was nominated for a Grammy this past year for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance (not for this song, but for the snoozefest, "It Kills Me") and "Monday Morning" reached #1 on the Swiss charts (I LOVE Switzerland!). Hailing from Canada and already a pretty big deal in half of Europe, she's bound to have a bright career ahead of her.
Thanks, Easy Street, for the introduction. Enjoy.
