She was born to Guyanese immigrant parents (mixed with black, Indian, and Portuguese ethnicities) and grew up in the inner city of Toronto. Living in a music filled household, Fiona says she always knew music was her passion. Her father was a guitarist in a band and would allow her to sit on the stage when she was younger as he practiced, and remembers her mother playing music at home; everything from The Ronettes to Whitney Houston.
Fiona was featured on Reggae Gold 2008 with the Supa Dups-produced "Somebody Come Get Me". Her debut album The Bridge was released in the summer of 2009. She worked on the album with Future Cut, Vada Nobles, Stereotypes, J. Phoenix, Peter Wade and Salaam Remi. The debut single "Give It to Me Right" was released to radio stations on February 28, 2009, and peaked at #20 on Billboard's Canadian Hot 100 and #41 on the UK Singles Chart. The second single, "It Kills Me", became her breakout song on the Billboard Hot 100 where it cracked the Top 50, along with hitting #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The song earned Fiona a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
Her second album, The MF Life, was released through the SRC Records and Universal Republic on March 20, 2012 after several delays. The Break Down The Walls Songfacts reports Fiona told Billboard magazine that her goal with The MF Life was to give an "honest" depiction of her life and how things have changed from her debut set, The Bridge.
In 2002, Fiona was briefly involved with girl group X-Quisite. Early in her career, she would perform at nightclubs in Toronto. In 2005, Fiona traveled to Los Angeles, California, in search of a recording contract. According to Fiona, record labels "loved" the way she looked and sung, but "knew that the minute I worked with them or would have signed with them, they would have tried to change me into someone else completely different. That was something that I didn't want to do." She went on to co-write songs for recording artists Rihanna and Kardinal Offishall. Fiona also recorded the reggae song "Somebody Come Get Me" under the stage name Syren Hall, which was included in the Reggae Gold 2008 compilation album. Entrepreneur Steve Rifkind discovered and signed Fiona to SRC Records and Universal Motown in 2007. She went on to tour with Kanye West in his Glow in the Dark Tour.

Gone and Never Coming Back
Melanie Fiona Lyrics
Sad that memories never die
Just fill your head with why
Then you're caught living a lie again
Its sad that all he ever said
Was that he loved me to death
But that hes gone again and I was wrong again
'Cause you think its easier easy like that
Just when I wasn't finished
You were gone like that
Can't you hear me crying
'Cause I need you back
And I'm slowly dying
'Cause I need you bad
But your gone
And never coming back
Gone and not coming back
He's never coming back
Should've known the long kiss goodbye
Would bring sadness in my life
Wearing this disguise again
I wish that you would've said
Or lied to me instead
Like a bullet to my head
Like a fool I pretend
That its on again on again
'Cause you think its easier easy like that
Just when I wasn't finished
You were gone like that
Can't you hear me crying
'Cause I need you back
And I'm slowly dying
'Cause I need you bad
But your gone
And never coming back
Gone and not coming back
He's never coming back
Whoever said look on the brighter side
Has never been on mine
Whoever said that he'll get his
Never felt like this
Ain't no use in crying when you're done like that
'Cause baby baby you took something
That I cant buy back
And now you're gone and never coming back
Coming back
Oh he's not coming back

jazmine sullivan and melanie fiona are underrated** lets just get that straight. Both are great in their own ways. Point is they should have been dominating the charts. Too bad people don't know good music these says.
TAO TAO
You are absolutely on point. ♥️

hailey V. Blame their Managers And A&R and any other PERSON on the record Label

You are SO right. Especially about Sullivan. She's so talented and very underrated. It shocks me that no BIG names tried to get behind her. They are both incredible.

This is a transparent masterpiece. Who ever Melanie is singing about was not a random boyfriend. This man was definitely her soulmate or someone she bonded with on a powerful level. This song transcends beyond feelings of infatuation or lust. Way too powerful to elaborate on further. But she did a wonderful job exposing the pain she endured during get personal tragedy.
