‘Not That Kind’ is the first album from the gorgeous Anastacia. This is review 3/3 for Anastacia’s albums for me. I absolutely LOVE her and if you’ve read any of my other reviews on her albums then I expect that you already knew that. I do tend to babble on about how wonderful she is, so I am going to try and tone this review down… a little bit anyway!

So what are the songs like on this album? I think that they are all fantastic and what is great about Ani is that she writes 99% of her songs herself. The only songs on this album that she didn’t write are ‘Who’s Gonna Stop the Rain’ and ‘Wishing Well’, which isn’t that bad considering that was a new artist at this time. Even though Anastacia didn’t write the 2 songs she still puts 150% effort into singing them and I absolutely love ‘Who’s Gonna Stop the Rain’ both because the lyrics are amazing and so is the way that she executes the song.

I really love this song. It is both funky and has explosive vocals that we have all come to expect from Ani. Some people might think that Ani is ‘over the top’ with some of her singles but I don’t think so at all, in fact I think that it is great that someone with such a great voice isn’t afraid to shout about it. This is a great sing-a-long song from Ani. But then again I think that all of her songs are great sing a long songs whether they are ballads or pop songs. This is a really catchy song so I give it 9/10.

This is one of my favourite songs on the album. I think that this is probably the catchiest song on the album and talk about great lyrics and vocals. This was Ani’s first release and if I remember correctly was in the charts for a rather long time indeed. This song is one of the best examples of Anastacia’s great vocal range and shows us that she can hit all of the high notes but not over do it like I think many artists would. Therefore I give this song 10/10.

Wow! This song is incredible and the lyrics are something that any artist would be proud to sing. I absolutely adore this song. I don’t quite know why but it just seems to hit me and I get a lump in my throat ever time I listen to it. I think that the writers of this song are geniuses. I was slightly surprised that Ani didn’t have anything to do with the writing of this song, but it sounds like she defiantly feels what the song is about and it is great to hear her interpretation of the song. A great song 10/10.

This is a great uplifting soul type song. It is another really catchy easy-listening song, which is a great way to cheer you up! There is a really funky sound to this song, which mostly comes from the base. We get another glimpse of Ani’s powerful voice, but again she doesn’t over do anything in this song. A really catchy 9/10.

I can remember hearing this song from somewhere but I couldn’t remember where for the life of me; Until recently. There was a countdown of the greatest adverts on channel 4 a couple of weeks ago and this song was part of one of the car adverts. I didn’t really pay much attention to the advert so I don’t know what car it was advertising; I was just thinking how great the song was. It is very catchy and I love it. It is a great addition to the album. Much better that the last song so its gonna have to be a 10/10.

My Op.
