Freak of Nature

by

Anastacia

Edit

Let me tell you, since I first discovered this CD, I couldn't stop listening to it. The sheer uniqueness of Anastacia's voice alone is enough reason to get the CD. But it's full of tracks that you'll be playing for quite a while, I guarantee. As long as you like funky Pop/R&B with a little Rock edge, this CD is definitely one that no collection should be without.

This is one of those CDs you don't have to pick up the remote on, just let it play itself out and repeat. All of the songs are awesome, but my favorites are:

-You'll Never Be Alone: This is just one of those spectacular diva songs falling right in the same category as "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine or "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston.

-I Dreamed You: You think Anastacia's all chest voice!? No! And she proves that she has a stunningly beautiful head voice on this beautiful track.

-Freak of Nature: It's just fun and uplifting what can I say. Any person out there who considers themselves a freak of nature or ever been called one should be damn proud after hearing this song.

-Paid My Dues: This is an awesome, and should become a classic, Nothing-Can-Stop-Me song.

Those are my absolute favorites, and I actually could go on and on because like I said before, all the songs are top notch.

The bottom line is, GET THE CD. I promise you won't regret it! Anastacia is just amazing and I can't wait to hear what's next.

I bought this CD on the strength of two songs - "One Day In Your Life" and "Paid My Dues," both of which are incredible up-tempo dance songs, the kind that cause you to get up and dance around the house on even the worst of days. I found a couple more songs in the same vein - "Freak of Nature," and Why'd You Lie To Me" - that made the purchase worth the money, but I was underwhelmed by the rest of the album.

Anastacia has a wonderful voice - head and shoulders above most of the current crop of pop divas - and that makes her ballads fare more listenable than others I've heard on the radio. Still, they are generic pop ballads, with nothing but the voice to set them apart. This is a decent pop album, one I'm glad to have, but not one I forsee myself pulling out and listening to on a regular basis.
