Heartthrob Terrance Howard covers this weeks Rolling Out! I’m proud to say that we both went to the same high school too. Yes, when I was a freshmen, he was a senior and when he would pass by me in the hallways, I would almost faint! His brother and I actually graduated together, hey Tyrone! In his interview with Rolling Out magazine he talks about his role in Red Tails, working with the cast, negativity in the media and more. Here is an excerpt but to read the full article please click here.

You are often involved in films that are very character driven. Red Tails is more of an action film. How did this film speak to you?
This film spoke about a generation of heroes. [They were] the gods of aviation, [the] rock stars of the black community from the 1940s. At a time when black people were [not] able to ride in the front of the bus, let alone in the front of the clouds. So that’s what this film represented. These cats were the best of what the world had to offer, and I don’t even think in this day and time there is a pilot that can really match their bravery under the odds and pressure which they had to deal with in life.

In your personal career, you have faced setbacks. How do you maintain your confidence in the face of negativity?
I think people are talking to themselves when they say, “You can’t.” Because only you know what you can or cannot do. Because no one else has an idea what I’m capable of doing. Whenever someone tells you “No,”’ you need to look in the mirror and find God in yourself. Find God’s fingerprint and you won’t need anything more than that. He made the entire universe.

MTV says Melanie Fiona is “criminally overlooked,” and we couldn’t agree more — especially after the hit single, “It’s 4 a.m.” The haunting ballad strikes a painful chord with any woman stranded on the ugly side of love, or on the cold side of the bed, wondering where her lover is at such an ungodly hour.

Standing here and I’m getting heated
Pour me up a drink I swear I need it
I think I’ma about
About to hurt somebody
Swear this man is begging me to leave him
Getting sick of being so mistreated
Another night without
Without his arms around me

The song has become the tribal call of the scorned, because ironically, it soothes the emotional suffering.
“… 4 a.m. is that time when people are doing many things,” Fiona tells rolling out. “Some are waiting for love, some are making love, some are looking for it, longing for it, and some are working. It’s 4 a.m. means many things, and for me it’s a new sound. I love how mellow it felt … like a beautiful ballad and people are really loving it . They know that it’s showing so much love, and that makes me feel like I’m doing something right, it makes me feel like there is a huge market out there for people that need that type of language, this type of emotion and this type of passion.”
Fiona’s music is culled from personal experience. As a true musician, she writes what she knows because the craft demands that level of authenticity.
“I’ve definitely been in situations where I’ve been cheated on and when I haven’t been cheated on,” she divulges. “Sometimes the signs [of infidelity] are the same.
