It's not exactly known as the soul capital. MARTIN: How do you think you arrived at your sound? I mentioned that you're born in Canada. It was to bridge people together and just, you know, I always feel like music should be a universal language and I just wanted this album to just feel good and have people all over enjoy it. Well, why did she do all these things? Well, it was to bridge cultures together. And naming it "The Bridge" was the explanation. And I just really wanted to have an album that would really bring that all together and make sense. I knew that I was inspired by many different things from different cultures and foods and music and genres and people.
I knew that it was many different things. I mean, a lot of people can describe this album as many different things. I know what I had in mind, tell me what you had in mind. MARTIN: So I referred to the title of the album "The Bridge," but tell me what you had in mind. Melanie Fiona, thank you so much for joining us.
MARTIN: And she's on tour now, but she was kind enough to stop by our Washington, D.C. And it kills me to know how much I really love you. A part of me wants to leave, but the other half still believes. I've got to be out of my mind to think it's work this time. MELANIE FIONA (Musician): (Singing) Some things I just can't stand. But maybe she describes herself best in the title of her debut album "The Bridge." Here she is singing her number one hit "It Kills Me." And you could say, as critics have, that her music is a blend of pop, some rock, R&B and classic soul with a twist of attitude. How shall we describe Melanie Fiona? Well, she's Canadian-born with Caribbean roots. I'm Michel Martin and this is TELL ME MORE from NPR news.
