Meelah: Yeah! Before it became this infamous it-thing of the millenium. That song had auto-tune on it, so, we did the whole auto-tune thing before it even became.Ī: Right! Before T-Pain was out… They released “You Don’t Know” as the second single. Because “Where My Girls At?” was doing so well and great on its own, the label just got excited, and I guess they were expecting the momentum to just continue, but we still needed that support. It was just like a lack of promotion after that. Unfortunately, after “Where My Girls At?”, I feel like MoTown dropped the ball.

It was on the Top 100 for like 40-plus weeks it did a special job. Even though “Where My Girls At?” was the hottest track. And then all of a sudden, things stopped.

I definitely feel like the world has yet to see Meelah at her full potential.Ī: Now, when “Where My Girls At?” came out, Destiny’s Child was out, Total was out, K-Ci & JoJo – it was a good time. I know that there’s even greater to come. I do feel that there’s even greater to come. Meelah: Absolutely not! I think what you heard was a very young, gifted, but very green Meelah that was blessed with the opportunity to be a part of something that was great. I feel like it’s a God-given gift and blessing, and I feel like it’s my purpose to keep it going.Ī: Right, so you think we haven’t heard the best of Meelah? I just don’t feel right just sitting down on it. The love of music has always been my passion. I’ve always been heavily into great music, great singing, as a child. I’m a vocalist, I’m a singer, I’m a true singer. It was really about the music and the vocals. It wasn’t about getting raunchy and just having to be naked as a female artist. Those of us that came up in the game when it wasn’t about imagery. There’s a lane for R&B music, or R&B soul artists who are true vocalists. Why not take advantage? Also, because I really strongly feel in my heart, it’s just wide open. All this new stuff that allows you as an artist to just really get out there, promote yourself and do your thing.

I think there’s just such a great opportunity these days, with social media and technology and iTunes. Meelah: I feel like the industry has definitely changed immensely since 702 was first introduced on the scene. It’s been about 16 years since 702’s debut, almost 10 years since the last album. I’ve been in the studio currently recording solo material, and it’s really coming along great, I’m super excited.Ī: Why did you decide now. Now, I’m ready to get back out there I’m so ready to get back in front where I feel I belong, and do my thing. I’ve been blessed and fortunate enough to still be able to have that as my livelihood. I have a son, so I’m a mommy now, but all the while I was definitely still in and out of the music industry. I took a break to have a child, who just turned three. I ended up working with other artists, doing featured backgrounds, writing. We all just kind of went our own ways and did our own things, and I chose to keep hustling at this music thing. Meelah: Life has been going on since 702’s last album, which was in 2003, which I cannot believe was almost 10 years ago. After several notable hits, including “Steelo”, “Get It Together and their biggest “Where My Girls At?”, former lead singer Meelah decided to step out and is now finally ready to begin her solo career.Ī caught up with Meelah to talk new music, working with her partner, Musiq Soulchild, and why 702 just couldn’t seem to “get it together”: That’s when R&B group 702 was introduced on the scene, courtesy of New Edition’s Michael Bivins.
