The set’s lead single “Give It to Me Right” was written by Andrea Martin who also penned Leona Lewis’s “Better in Time” and En Vogue’s “Don’t Let Go (Love).” Melanie Fiona’s debut hit was a top ten single in Greece and Italy.

Melanie Fiona is scheduled to release some new material in 2011. The MF Life will include the upcoming single “Gone and Never Coming Back.” Fiona’s sound is very similar to Faith Evans and even Mary J. Blige.
