Fantasia
*Artist: FANTASIA *Genre: Popular Music *Release Date: 12-DEC-2006Maybe the best thing about American Idol is that, once it launches its stars, it sets them free. Fantasia, the self-titled sophomore set by the up-from-the-bootstraps 2004 series winner, sends out song after song that Simon would recoil over and great swaths of America would likely vote down in a heartbeat. Ripped from real life, these tracks are produced with both gumption and vision–a combination potent enough to smoke you out of your seat (see “Two Weeks Notice” and “Bore Me”) and settle you back into it gently (“When I See U,” “Surround U,” “Bump What Ya Friends Say”). Unlike Free Yourself, Fantasia’s first outing and one that wanted to work the crowd that crowned her an Idol, Fantasia’s focus is de facto, de-poppified R&B–the unpretty kind. Barrino (Fantasia’s last name, for those who’ve forgotten) brings it with a glimmering, gut-busting voice that suggests she’s never seen a teleprompter before; she keeps it abo (more…)

FANTASIA tells of her astonishing rise from hopeless high school dropout to American Idol superstar in the inspirational New York Times bestseller Life Is Not a Fairy TaleIn one moment, with one tearful performance of “Summertime,” the nineteen-year-old Fantasia captured the hearts — and the votes — of millions of American Idol fans. Her powerful voice and independent style made her an overnight national sensation. But life wasn’t always sensational for Fantasia.At the age of seventeen, despite the promise of her extraordinary voice, Fantasia was in danger of becoming just another sad statistic: an uneducated, unmarried teenage mother living in the projects. But Fantasia had been raised by two strong, influential women: Both her grandmother and mother are preachers, and she was raised with an unshakable faith. In Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, Fantasia speaks — with a spirit as strong as her voice — about what it takes to believe in the power of one’s self. She turns all that she’s lear (more…)

Free Yourself
- Condition: Used – Very Good
Includes bonus track. J Records. 2005.Few would accuse Fantasia of a reluctance to abide by the wisdom that what you’ve got, you should flaunt, and the vocal gusto she slathers over her full-length debut gets partial credit for earning–and keeping–your attention. To a greater extent, though, the high-wattage help heaped over the Idol 3 champ and Patti LaBelle-sound-alike makes the disc dazzle. In addition to pitch-ins from Missy Elliott, who produced and co-wrote three tracks and busts out a two-snaps-up rhyme on “Selfish (I Want U 2 Myself),” Jazze Pha duets on the ultra-mod “Don’t Act Right” and Jermaine Dupri wrote and produced the smolderer “Got Me Waiting.” Surprisingly, though, it’s not those tracks or even the Idol-propelled cover of the Gershwins’ “Summertime” that will stick with listeners most. Instead, first single “Truth Is,” a sweet, old-school R&B lament directed toward a lost love, and “Baby Mama,” a spirited shout-out to hard-working single mothers, snare standout sta (more…)
