NEW MUSIC: Melanie Fiona (feat. Sean Paul) - 4 AM (Remix)

The oddest collaboration of the year so far comes from Melanie Fiona & Sean Paul. When you think of "4 AM," you don't think Sean Paul...AT ALL. But this remix is actually a proper remix, not just an added verse. New dance/reggae/dubstep beat, new vocal arrangement. And it actually kind of works. Check it out:



Definitely for the clubs. Melanie's music probably very seldom gets played in the club so this could be a welcome beginning for her. Apparently, this track will be placed on her upcoming mixtape, which will before the May release of her album, The MF Life.

***Sidenote*** For all of us "4 AM" lovers, the ORIGINAL version is no longer a failed single. This week, the song jumped into the top 10 of the urban radio charts. Right now, it sits at #9 and it's still climbing! I'm SO happy for her. This song deserves to reach #1, but now she's competing with a bunch of rappers for the top spot. Can she do it? I think so. Melanie better books some TV spots ASAP!

  1. This alleged mixtape was supposed to come out Summer 2011 and just kept getting pushed back along with the album with is ludicrous to me and I wouldn't be surprised if we never see it at all. It should've been released a long time ago to tide us over until the album but I don't really see any point in releasing it now when the tide is almost here being that May is not too far way. A mixtape is not an album so I don't understand why it was never released if she had said material. There's no excuses. All I know is it better be released soon cuz it will be pointless releasing it w/in a month or two of the album. That's the time you need to be investing in promoting the actual album and getting us interesting in that, not some mixtape. I say all this because I've seen too many fail and I don't want that for her. I love her music and I want to see her win but sometimes I just don't understand how idiotic some situations turn out but I'm just a fan so what do I know.
