Fresh from her slot on BET’s Music Matters Tour, Melanie Fiona visited VEVO to promote her current single ‘Gone & Never Coming Back’. Check out her ASK:Reply segment after the jump.
Also get into the drama which appears holding up the budding star’s sophomore LP, ‘The MF Life’.
Fiona’s VEVO spot will stand-out to fans, who’ve noted how little her project has been promoted thus far. So heated have a select few been, that they’ve vented their frustrations at the singer’s label head Steve Rifkind on Twitter.
However, the SRC/Universal Music exec isn’t one to back down, taking on fans who expressed their displeasure with him taking a meeting with R&B star Ciara, while Fiona’s album sits unreleased.
Peep the exchange below…
Drama, much? Whatever the hold-up, here’s hoping it ends soon; for Fiona is too talented to sit unnoticed.
i STILL be bumpin “It Kills Me” …. an amazing record!
I watched and I didn’t see any label drama. Yet.
The thing is, in this era, nobody is safe just by being signed on a label. Ciara, Kelly Rowland, Lupe Fiasco, Jasmine Sullivan and many others have experienced that: mainstream music is about the sales and the fanbase. The music has to be catchy but also the artist has to urge people to buy the album.
Ciara is a bigger name than Melanie anyway. Melanie has the whole package to do better but she’s not there yet. She should just keep pushing.
Karma for dissing riri
sorry b**** be humble
Where in the video does it talk about the Label Drama???
…Steve rifkin can’t manager a label..all his acts are #fail with shontelle being most successful..
Weird.
I LOVE her, she can really sing too. I hope she crosses over to mainstream with this voice.
damn melanie is beautiful…Uggs Giving Away Stuff After PETA called them out.. http://goo.gl/OeFMB to Get Consumers to Support them….haha got 2 pair!
that guy is UNPROFESSIONAL as hell.
i dont want ciara going tot THAT LABE,.
he is right…deliver a record.
He is speaking the truth.The fans need to speak what they know and they don’t know what’s going on behind the scenes.
TWITTER DRAMA IS SO LAST YEAR
It seem like the people that won’t cave in into being the record labels puppet, are the ones having label drama. You know its true -_-
@Kisses COSIGN!
Which is why Jazmine Sullivan is taking a break (sadly)
@NINJA…HOW IS SHONTELLE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL BECAUSE SHE WROTE A SONG FOR RIHANNA????
deliver a hit build your fan base and stop the bitching.
it kills me was boring and repetitive and SAD.
THE SONG TITLE OF HER NEW SONG “DONE AND NEVER COMING BACK”
IS BORING AND REPETITIVE AND…………………SAD.
NEXT————————->
Agree with your comment Sam that Fiona is too talented to sit unnoticed. I’m aghast that a Label exec would stoop so low and get into a war with her fans. His comments are not supportive of his artist – very low.
Why isn’t her album being delivered! #fishy
