The single coupled a timeless classic (the Zombies' \"Time of the Season\") with roof-raising vocals and infectious pop hooks that stuck like peanut butter. Fiona's single was perfect, albeit a touch formulaic. Because of this, it's no surprise that a large chunk of her debut album, THE BRIDGE, is much of the same. Like any good 2009 pop-soul recording, the album offers influences from decades of soul music. Fiona, a Kanye West prot?g?, collaborates with about as many styles of music as she has producers and writers, who include most prominently Canadian R\u0026amp;B singer-songwriter Andrea Martin, Rob Fusari, Peter Wade Keusch, Sidh Solanki, Vada Nobles, Bill Blast, Future Cut, Stereotypes, Dan Strong, JK, Jay Fenix, and Affiliate. This mash-up of masterminds is a good thing; it offers the listener generous portions of put-together pop songs which color outside the lines in terms of genre. THE BRIDGE is the perfect launching pad for a solid career where she can further explore her possibilities as an artist, seeing as she appeals to the masses as well as the critics.\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: R\u0026amp;B\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/10\/2009\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Melanie Fiona","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44588743885033,"sku":"EAITBC-OYLU-00","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0654\/3523\/8633\/files\/melanie-fiona-the-bridge_exVpV.jpg?v=1758786780","url":"https:\/\/www.vibinvinyl.com\/products\/melanie-fiona-the-bridge","provider":"Vibin' Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
