Anastacia - Anastacia

Advantages: Greatest Album of the YEAR!!!!!
Disadvantages: NOT ENOUGH SONGS

...at the hands of cancer, Anastacia has had operation after operation, but while she was practically in her hospital bed she decided to jump up and make a new album, and what an amazing album it is. Until I heard Left Outside Alone (Track 2 on album), which might I add holds the title as the longest running single in the UK Singles Chart this year (around 20 weeks), I hadn’t really recognised Ani at all. I had heard a couple of her previous singles ...
...wondering… ‘Sprock’ is described by Anastacia as a mixture of Soul, Pop and Rock.) So, I hear you say… “Get to the ruddy part about the album” OK HERE GOES……………… Track 1 – Seasons Change. Probably the most rocky song on the album, and what a song to start the album off. I think this song was made for Anastacia to sing. (In fact it was made for Anastacia to sing, she co-wrote it with K. Deoguard & J. Rzeznik.) It is just fantastic and a song that ... Read review

Advantages: She bounced back!
Disadvantages: still thinking!

...either. This latest slice of Anastacia art is welcomed with open arms in my opinion. I've always really liked her voice, she's powerfully gifted vocally reaching ranges beyond comprehension. Talent wise she is limitless in the offerings she brings to us in the shape of her albums. This latest self-titled smash was catapulted into our charts with the release of Left Outside Alone, and more recently, the aptly titled Sick and Tired. It's hard to believe ...
...many genres of music and Anastacia adapting her voice more than ever before. The sound is maturer but still throaty and powerful, and the lyrics are true to life written by the woman herself. Not many artists of this calibre left and Anastacia has all the finesse of a legend who will be around for years to come. I'm not exaggerating, you'll be hard pushed to find any artist with the strength of voice and character, the talent and classic originality ... Read review

Advantages: She has a fantastic voice
Disadvantages: One poorer track

I’m a fairly new member here but decided it was time for me to take the plunge and write a proper review. I’m a real music buff and love all types of music from R ‘N’ B to Rock, Pop to Indie. It really doesn’t bother me, I love it all. Just recently I bought Anastacia’s new album. It’s her third one and I really think its her best so far. Season Change (4.17) ************************* The first track has a good tempo to it. It’s relatively quick ...
...good and are quite easy to listen to. The music is good with a the drum backing her vocals quite well. The track has quite a rock feel to it rather than pop and it serves as a good opening to the album. Left Outside Alone (4.17) *************************** This was the first song I heard from this album and how I realised she had a new album out. It is a much slower song than the first one and the start sounds a bit like Evanescence. Her vocals ... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant tracks and superb lyrics
Disadvantages: Onyl 12 tracks

Anasatcia, 31, was originally brought up in New York and was born into a entertainment-orientated family. With her father a singer and mother an actress in musicla theatre on Broadway it must of only been a matter of time before she broke out into the performing arts world herself! Anastacia started ...

Advantages: Great vocals, memorable tracks
Disadvantages: Some weak tracks

...pronunciation of a swear word I've ever heard! Overall, there are some fillers on this album, but her voice is amazing and most tracks show how powerful her voice is. It's well worth a listen, I'm not an Anastacia fan, but still enjoyed most tracks on this album ... Read review
