Just hours before the Grammys are announced, Melanie Fiona debuts the video for her Grammy-nominated single “Wrong Side of a Love Song” off her sophomore album The MF Life. Under the direction of Larenz Tate, the Canadian songbird pours her heart out on camera, while showcasing her acting chops.

In the powerful narrative, an emotional Melanie cries, laughs, fights, and flirts with her hunky co-star Omari Hardwick (For Colored Girls) while belting out the soulful ballad, produced by Jack Splash.

“It’s very raw and it’s acting, and it’s very, very truthful,” she told Rap-Up TV. “It was really a meeting of the minds and talents and artistry to bring this to you guys. We wanted to tell a powerful, powerful story.”

Watch her love story play out on screen.
