Melanie Fiona dropped a new video entitled “Cold Piece” this month following her departure from Universal Records; her long time label. The singer promises a new transformation in her music career and will be unleashing more free music for fans as she works on her third album. In the latest issue of ‘Coveteur’ magazine, Fiona dishes on her future plans in music, her fashion style, career highlights, and more.
Take a read at a few excerpts from the mag and watch her new video below:
On Her Personal Style Of Dress:
” I would describe my style as the “Bohemian Tomboy” . If it flows, has fringe, or I can wear sneakers with hit, I’m happy. I can’t live without my black leather Grey Ant sunglasses, favorite baggy G-star jeans, or my Nike Sky-Hi Funks. Oh! and my Christian Louboutin Daffodile booties.”
On Career highlights:
” Touring with Kanye West and then touring with Alicia Key, two of my favorite artists. I also got to be a part of the new “We Are The World’ tribute for Haiti, which was so surreal. I was signing chorus lines with Barbara Streisand, being directed by Quincy Jones! “
On Her Dream Collaboration:
” Stevie Wonder. To me, he is a living legend that has contributed so much over the years in music as well as having a different influence on the type of music I love and make. When Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston died, it really put things into perspective for me. I was devastated that I would never have the opportunity to meet them or ever possibly work with them. “
On What’s Next:
” I’m about to put a mini bundle of music called ‘Free Love”. I have a song out right now off that compilation called ‘Cold Piece’. In July, I was approached by Nike to be a part of their Women’s Marathon in San Francisco, this October. I was completely honored. It’s a great a way for me to challenge myself in such a positive way, for such a important reason. I will be running for a friend of mine battling cancer right now. “
