SHAE FIOL - Catch A Ride (2009)

Sweet Modern Soul with a bit of a sunny 80´s groove from Shae Fiol, a NYC via Portland singer who some of the lighter, effervescent touches of earlier Pop Soul, but without falling into throwback cliché and feeling very much of the here and now. The sounds mix kind of sparkling, subtle synth touches, and other tunes backed by piano and acoustic guitar and more natural sounds, but the shining light throughout is Shae's lovely voice, bringing genuine depth to the tunes. An artist on the rise!!

MELANIE FIONA - The Bridge (2009)

Melanie Fiona's inspiring debut is one certainly gets reminded!! The Soul starlet from Canada delivers a top of the line debut album of old school R&B and big ballad Soul Pop with a lively contemporary twist. There are tinges of Deborah Cox in Fiona's vibrato, the strength of Monica in her runs and tone, and just enough of Lauryn Hill's resonance to make Fiona's flawless technique sound easy. While comparisons can be made, don't be fooled: Melanie Fiona is a uniquely talented vocalist in that "next big superstar" kind of way. There is a weight to her airy, tearful alto, a conviction that brings credibility to this eclectic selection of songs produced by major talents like Questlove (The Roots, D'Angelo). Not that Fiona has to worry about the quality of her songs. With proven songwriters like Andrea Evans (SWV, Angie Stone, Leona Lewis) at the helm, the results are catchy, melodic crossover tunes that move from Pop to Retro Soul and Urban adult contemporary, bridging all these genres without any loss in quality or integrity!!
