This woman has to have one of the best voices Ive heard in years - a favourite of various other celebrities - including micheal jackson, president bush etc. So you could say she appeals to people of every walk of life. Regardless of whether or not you like (i say broadly)"this kind of music" - there is a definate confidence about anastacia's voice. This my favourite of anastacias albums - purely because of the songs and their lyrics. This is one of those albums that you play to death when you get it - then you forget you've got it - until you hear one of the songs.
The trigger song for me is her new release with Ben Moody - excellent song - excellent showcase for two brilliant voices.
Girls - this is one to put on when ur doing the housework - its definately a sing a long
Guys - this will be a winner if your woman(or you) likes a woman with a strong, emotive voice!
Advantages: some really good tunes Disadvantages: some really bad tunes, no lyrics supplied to sing along with the really good tunes
...I've liked Anastacia since I first heard the track "I'm Outta Love" and instantly fell in love with it. Since then, I have liked most of the singles she has released, the funky "Paid My Dues" being my favourite. This song was the first release from her second album, "Freak of Nature" and was my reason for buying the cd in the first place.
The opening and title track "Freak of Nature" provides a funky upbeat introduction to this album - a great beat and fantastic lyrics about how she's different from all the rest combine to make an unbelievably catchy track, although the talking at the beginning of the song is a little irritating. After this, the misleadingly slow and eerie sounding introduction of "Paid My Dues" (her best tune to date, as I said before) leads us into this very r & b style track with its fantastic music and strong...

Advantages: Great songs, see op Disadvantages: No. 11
...What an album! Most people get a bit scared off when they think of the name Anastacia. Why? I think it is because off her powerful voice and dominating (don’t be dirty) way. She likes to take control and be ‘there’ and this kinds of put people off, but don’t be, underneath all this is so much talent.
This is her second album, the first was not as good, quite rushed and not well thought out, but this one is very well thought out. There are a great selection of songs that are really good and of course VERY powerful. Here is each song in depth:
1. Freak Of Nature
This song opens with a great line “I’m a Freak”. What a way to open an album. The beat to this is slow, steady and good. She is holding the song together well, it has a great set of lyrics, good backing, and a great voice. In...

Advantages: Great secon album. Disadvantages: None! Ani is GR8!
...that Kind focus more on her R n? B style. I am not really the kind of person that likes R n? B singers, I know that it is a bit hard to get away from them at the moment because there are so many of them about from both Great Britain and the USA. However, this is an R n? B album that you can really sit down and listen to.
So what are the songs like?
Track 1 ? Freak of nature.
Ani has been compared to black singers such as Alicia Keyes, and I can see where the people that said it are coming from. Her ?black? sounding voice is really unbelievable. This track ? Freak of Nature ? was written not because Ani is a freak, but because her voice is a freaky black voice, trapped inside a white body. This track is amazing. Hence 9/10.
Track 2 ? Paid my dues.
This song was a huge success in both the USA and here in Britain. Are you...

Additional notes
Album Notes: Personnel includes: Anastacia, Faith Evans (vocals); Miklos Malek (various instruments); Eric Kupper (acoustic & electric guitars, keyboards, bass, drums); Chieli Minucci (acoustic & electric guitars); Chris Camozzi (guitar); Joel Derouin, Becky Bunnell (violin); Roland Kata, Denyse Buffum (viola); Larry Corbett (cello); Sharon Bryant, Audrey Wheeler, Nicole Renee (background vocals). Producers: Richie Jones, Ric Wake, Sam Watters, Louie Biancaniello. Sporting the cleavage-and-bare-midriff look that's requisite early-21st century pop femme-wear, the Berlin-transplanted, Brazilian-born blonde bombshell drops her sophomore album with all the subtlety of a Pamela Anderson video. While her vocals lack the is-she-or-isn't-she breathlessness of a Britney Spears or Mandy Moore (it's pretty obvious Anastacia isn't, and hasn't been for a while), she does project an unmistakable earthiness and raw sexuality, notably in the album's title track and "Why'd You Lie to Me?" both of which find her in a feisty mood. Pity the fool who'd even think about getting on her bad side. Anastacia channels Chaka Khan in the Brazilian-inflected rhythms of "Don't Cha Wanna" and shows her quieter, if no less uncompromising side, in "Overdue Goodbye" ("this is a message--pay attention...") which features perhaps the weirdest yet recorded pronunciation of "goodbye," but is nevertheless a charming excursion into Anastacia's gentler mode. With a couple of Celine-style ballads ("Hold On," "I Dreamed You") that also lighten the mood, FREAK OF NATURE is a well-rounded effort.
Album Reviews: Entertainment Weekly (6/28/02, p.142) - "...A kicky 'Flashdance' retro vibe...Anastacia has major-league pipes and solid rhythm...Played loud and often, NATURE can help you get ur freak on" - Rating: B
