Canadian soul songstress, Melanie Fiona released her phenomenal debut album 'The Bridge' in 2009. Although the album was well received by critics, it didn't do so well in the charts.
The Toronto born singer's music transcends generations and musical boundaries. A little bit of 60's inspired motown, some contemporary jazz and soulful ballads make her eclectic without being directionless.

Kanye West and Quest Love are among her fans. Yeezy even invited the singer to join him on his 'Glow in the Dark' tour for which she received rave reviews.
She makes strong, soulful, empowering RnB music which is rare in an increasingly generic market.
Fiona is currently recording her new album "The MF Life" but here is one of my personal favourites from her last album, the finger snapping Jacko-esque 'Johnny':
