Grammy-nominated R&B singer Melanie Fiona has been working hard on her sophomore album ‘The MF Life,’ while also trying to balance life and everything else alongside it. Led by her singles “Gone and Never Coming Back” and “4AM,” Melanie is no stranger to being expressive about her feelings through her music. Even on her debut single “Give It To Me Right,” Melanie is vocal about her expectations from a man. However, the Toronto native is not as aggressive as she appears to be when it comes to approaching men.
“I’m kind of like a moody, aggressive girl. Some days I may come out of my shell, and some days I don’t,” Melanie tells Singersroom exclusively. “I think if I’m feeling someone, I might not run up to them and be like ‘Okay, give me your number.’ That’s not my style, because I don’t want anybody who doesn’t want me⦠So maybe I’ll just give them a little eye. Maybe they’re interested, we’ll see how it goes from there.”
On the other hand, Melanie has no problems with a man approaching her, though she has a hard time getting them to do so. As humble and personable as Melanie is, some men have told her that they feel intimidated to come up to the “It Kills Me” singer.
“I don’t feel that my energy and my presence is intimidating. [Besides] that’s not what I’m aiming to do because I do welcome conversation, and I think it takes a lot for somebody to get the courage to approach someone and say, ‘Hey I wanna get to know you,'” Melanie explains. “I’m really just an energy person. If their energy is really vibing with mine, even from across the room, they’ll feel my energy back and that’s probably a good indication that they should probably come over. If they’re wrong, I’ll probably let them know that too.”
And even if men cannot understand the energy vibe from Melanie, they can take solace in knowing that she appreciates the smaller things in life. “Creative expression is a big thing that gives me butterflies; when somebody takes the road less traveled to express how they feel,” Melanie reveals. To her, putting in some thought to express your feelings is the key to her heart. And she doesn’t expect elaborate, grand gestures either, but rather small things like “Post-It notes left on the mirror and hand-written letters.”
Nevertheless, love will have to take a ticket behind the songstress’ hectic schedule. Like many artists, when Melanie isn’t busy on the road touring, doing radio promo and interviews, meeting fans, or in rehearsal, she’s either in the studio recording music or at a video or photo shoot. And if she’s lucky, she may even get a few hours of sleep and rest in. With such a busy lifestyle, it unfortunately leads to some sacrifices when it comes to balancing life, love, and music. Melanie confesses, “When you’re moving in one direction, it’s very hard to be in many places at once. My goal is to always keep people around me â friends, family, and love that is positive, supportive, and understands where I’m at and what I’m doing with my life right now. They know that I love them even from afar. I really do try my best to balance.”

Reflections On Dating
Dating can be a daunting experience, but it doesn’t have to be. Melanie Fiona has had her fair share of ups and downs in the dating world, and she’s come out with some valuable insight. In this exclusive interview, she reflects on how to approach men, getting butterflies in your stomach when you like someone, and why taking risks is worth it.
When it comes to approaching men, Fiona believes that being confident is key. She states: “You don’t need to wait for him to make the first move—you should take initiative if you know what you want.” Taking control of situations makes a person more attractive and shows they are brave enough to go after what they want. Those who hesitate might miss out on something special because they weren’t willing to put themselves out there.
It’s normal for people to get butterflies when they’re interested in someone else. However, Fiona recommends not overthinking things too much as this could lead to paralysis by analysis; instead just enjoy the moment and see where it goes from there. Even though relationships require hard work sometimes, risking heartache is part of life too. When asked about taking risks, she replied: “I think the best experiences come from taking chances.” It pays off in the end if you give yourself permission to open up and trust another person.
At times we may question whether or not our feelings are reciprocated back, but having faith often leads us down paths unknown that are full of surprises and joys along the way. With courage at its core, love requires us all to take leaps of faith—so jump in!
Experiences As An Artist
In addition to her reflections on dating, Melanie Fiona has also had experiences as an artist which have shaped her outlook. As a musician and performer, she’s learned that staying true to herself is vital when it comes to making music that speaks to people. Knowing who she is and what values are important to her makes it easier for her to stay authentic in the creative process.
This has been especially helpful when dealing with criticism from others; Fiona understands that not everyone will like everything she does, but ultimately it’s up to her how she chooses to respond. She takes any negative feedback into consideration without letting it define or limit her. It’s essential for artists of all kinds—whether they’re musicians, painters, writers—to learn how to turn rejection into motivation if they want their artistry to thrive.
No matter what challenges arise in life, having faith helps us push through them so we can get closer towards our goals. For Fiona, having faith means trusting your instincts while taking risks along the way and never giving up hope even during hard times. With these principles at its core, success becomes inevitable because no amount of adversity can stand against someone who is determined enough to make their dreams come true.
Conclusion
I’m thankful for the experiences that I’ve had while dating and in my career. It’s allowed me to see things from different perspectives, appreciate people more, and learn a lot about myself along the way.
At times it can be nerve-wracking when approaching someone you’re interested in, but if you stay true to who you are and remain confident, there’s nothing stopping you! As an artist, it’s important to take risks; trust your gut and go with what feels right even if it may seem scary at first.
While life is full of uncertainties, one thing remains constant: love will always find its way. So don’t let fear keep you from taking chances or trying something new – the butterflies should remind us all why we do this in the first place.
