Disco de Anastacia: “Freak of Nature”

I must say that ANASTACIA is the singer of the millenium her first mega hit album "NOT THAT KIND" was a boom in Eurpoe it sold over 5 million copies and the songs became classic there i can say this because i travel a lot to Europe.

This time is FREAK OF NATURE the album has and increible rhythm all the songs are fantastic, there are dance songs which them you can dance until you fall down to the floor Anastacia's voice is unique she has a mix between TINA TURNER and TAYLOR DAYNE, also sings soft ballads, Anastacia is one of those rare singers that you love or hate but i'm sure the everyone is gonna love her every time that i play this cd with friends they love and the buy her cd's i'm sure that everybody who buy's her first or second cd buy's the other one.

FREAK OF NATURE hitted all the charts in Europe and topped almost all them it sold to date up to 4 million copies and in the US it also became a hit charting in BILLBOARD it debuted at #27 and has sold around 500,000 in just a couple of months, the first US single was ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE which reached #1 in Billboard and #1 in 17 countries in Europe, the first international single was PAID MY DUES also touched #1 in several territories and the upcoming single is WHY'D YOU LIE TO ME.

My favorite songs in the album are: ONE DAY IN YOUR LIFE, HOW COME THE WORLD, YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE, PAID MY DUES, SECRETS AND DON'T STOP.

The album also includes the song IF I TOLD YOU THAT where features FAITH EVANS.

I highly recommend this album to everyone.

I wish that Anastacia wins a Grammy this year because after all her hits she desrves at least one.

I own over two hundred CDs. I can honestly say that this CD is one of, if not *the*, best.

Anastacia's voice is very unique, and her style of songwriting is refreshing, especially now, in the days of Alicia Keys and Tweet (Both very good artists, I might add. Their version of writing is very "old-school," though.).

Anastacia is by far one of the most talented women in show buisness. If you watched VH1's "Diva's", you would have seen her onstage with Celine Dion, easily matching Celine's voice. That is quite a feat.

I would highly suggest this CD.

This is a HOT album with a selection of great songs that can cater to a variety of musical tastes, of all ages I might add. I have to admit I got the album based on the song "One Day in Your Life," but I found that I LOVED the whole CD and am now playing it all the time, much to the annoyance of my upstairs neighbour! Anastacia ROCKS is all I can say. She sure knows how to belt out a song and she does it with such passion and gusto you find yourself shouting out the song with her...very embarrasing when you're on the bus heading home from work I can tell you!

A nice CD with great tracks such as "Secrets" and "How Come the World Won't Stop." As a pointer try and get a glimspe of the music video that goes with the song "One Day in Your Life", it is wonderfully funny, and sexy and you will love the tatoos that are on display on a variety of people, including a mother, a handsome young man who's pumping iron and Anastacia herself. The song stands on its own but the video is worth a peek.

So, I picked up this album because of the song "Paid My Dues". On first listen to the whole album, I immediately picked out a few songs as winners and thought, oh, oh, the rest was just filler (like a few other reviewers here). I love Anastacia's throaty powerful voice and this forced me (smile) to listen to the whole album several times. And you know what? I discovered that those songs that I had thought were fillers, were actually very, very good too - just a little different musically, perhaps a little more complex. End result? Talk about a revelation! I KNOW this will be one of my favorite albums for YEARS to come. Anastacia has crafted an absolutely brilliant album (she co-wrote most of the material) that has a little variety (sometimes a little disco, sometimes a little torch-y, sometimes a bit hip-hop, sometimes a bit funky) but held together by Anastacia's amazing voice. And that voice! Often compared to Tima Turner or Chaka Khan, but still unique. Some reviewers think it is overblown, but you know what? There is many a time I enjoy a big powerful voice belting out big powerful, emotional songs ... and Anastacia delivers! Other reviewers have critiqued that she included 2 songs from her debut album on this album, but I'm thrilled that she did ... because along with Outta Love (which I have on CD single) they are the best 3 songs from that debut album --- and if you're not as keen on that album (like me) you get the best of both worlds in one CD. So, pop Freak of Nature in your CD player and crank that volume control up, up, UP! Anastacia, girl, keep doing what you're doing! I'll be listening.

I was so impressed with Anastacia's first album that when Freak of Nature was released in the UK I had to special order it as an import - despite the fact that I was going to be in London less than a month later! And, of course, I immediately turned around and bought a copy of the US release the day it came out - even though there was only one song different. Whether you're looking for "bounce" or ballad, Freak of Nature is perfect.
