Melanie Fiona Will Have Her Time Of The Season Soon

Yesterday Chris Molanphy and I were talking about the relative stasis of the pop charts, and the lack of any summer jam contenders right now despite the season rapidly approaching. Well, I’d like to throw one contender in there: Melanie Fiona’s “Give It To Me Right,” which is based around an admittedly undeniable sample (the pounding bass line from the Zombies’ “Time Of The Season”) but which also sails along on the strength of the Canadian singer’s pipes, and which will probably sound really great in big open gatherings. The video also gets points for having a shot of a game of solitaire–a clever nod to the lyrics in which Melanie intimates that she can do a much better job satisfying herself than the emotional klutz at whom this song seems to be directed.
