Pop/R&B: Rue Melo
Rue Melo is a true world citizen. Born in Paris, raised by a French mother and Uruguayan father, and now living in California, she is a melting pot of cultures and colours. This is reflected on "Enamorada", a latin-flavoured R&B ballad in which Rue sings in Spanish, English and French. Her brother plays the acoustic guitar part, which - in combination with all those sexy languages - gives the song a sultry summer atmosphere. Rue's voice shifts between the poppy glitter of Alicia Keys and the naughty exoticism of Rihanna, a bold comparison, but if she works a little on the lyrics I'm sure she has a great future ahead. Her self-titled debut album has four more Spanish-language songs, check it out.

Chapin's comments are right on the mark -- kudos! This composition has a winning pop-music feel to it, and with some hard work Rue Melo could be an international star. Her song breaks "new" ground only because Melo sings in three languages; ever since The Girl from Ipanema (¡eons ago!), two languages has been the normal acceptable limit. Is this cutting-edge, sexy Latin music because it also contains a verse in French? A snippet of French worked for Shakira in En tus pupilas, so why not also for Rue Melo!
Hi sabroso164,
Are you real, or are you a promo guy/girl? If you're genuinely enthousiastic, nevermind my comments, but if you're from a promo company, I'd like to do the promoting myself here thank you.
Tant pis! Sometimes real, enthusiastic people write blogs, too. De veras me ofendiste, y así y no vuelvo de compartir este espacio contigo.
Not sure if my last comment went through, but Chapin if you want to interview her, i can make that happen for you...hit me up on my email.
Chapin...whats up...just spoke to my peoples...told them about you..if you want the interview you got it...just let me know.
@sabroso164 > Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. You gotta understand, it's hard to have your own opinion and freedom of expressing it when you get dozens of e-mails from promo people every day demanding you to "push" this or that act. I guess I'm becoming a bit paranoid, but my inital reaction was "damn now they're posting comments already too!". While it was just genuine enthousiasm - you see what pressure can do to people. Again, I'm very sorry.
And don't get me wrong, without the promo companies blogging music would be a lot harder, they deliver excellent work (but can be a bit pertinent sometimes :)).
@corrientelatina > check your mail! thanks for letting me know. hope you don't mind my late reply, it was 3 AM here in Europe when you commented ;)
