Melanie Fiona Gets High Marks For Tina Turner Cover
(RTTNews) -
One of the highlights of last weekend's Essence Music Festival in New Orleans was a powerful cover of the Tina Turner classic track "What's Love Got To Do With It?" by up-and-comer Melanie Fiona.
The "It Kills Me" hitmaker took to the stage on July 4, celebrating not only Independence Day, but also her 27th birthday. Footage of the cover, which has garnered high praise from a number of well-respected blog sites, is available at www.sound-savvy.com.
Fiona is reportedly at work on new music for the follow-up to her 2009 breakout album The Bridge.
It's been a relatively quite few years for the 70-year-old Turner, whose last album was 1999's Twenty Four Seven. The singer took the stage for a performance with Beyoncé at the 2008 Grammy Awards and then again in May 2008 with Cher in Las Vegas.
