Has she a fruity voice? (7)

I believe the answer is:

melanie

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'has she a fruity voice?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'she a fruity voice?' is the wordplay.
'she' becomes 'Mel'.
'fruity voice?' becomes 'nie' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'mel'+'a'+'nie'='MELANIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for melanie that I've seen is " Girl".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
