AMERICAN IDOL winner Fantasia Barrino mixed hip-hop with classic soul on her 2004 debut, FREE YOURSELF. Yet the slick, urban contemporary sound of the album may have alienated some of Fantasia's fans, who were more accustomed to the old-school approach she'd displayed on AMERICAN IDOL. Consequently, Fantasia's follow-up sticks more closely to vintage R&B, resulting in a more confident and consistent album.

This is not to say that Fantasia doesn't still have her fingers in the hip-hop pie: there is a rap from Outkast's Big Boi on "Hood Boy," for example, and "Two Weeks Notice" was co-written by Missy Elliott. Yet FANTASIA is full of energetic R&B drivers and aching ballads that owe more to Motown and Stax/Volt than Def Jam. The production is superior, and the songs are strong, but the real selling point of the disc is still Fantasia's dazzling, powerhouse voice. With performances like these, FANTASIA is sure to please the diva's AMERICAN IDOL fans, and win her some new ones as well.

2 stars Where does Fantasia fit in???
Fantasia is not doing the type of music that her fans - at least those beyond hard-core R&B - want to hear. She seems lost and does not know where she fits in. The music here is good, but it is not special. Fantasia's voice is lost in all of the production. Any singer could have done this CD; the singer is not very important when the production is so darned overpowering as it is here. I hate what has happened to Fantasia, because I truly think she has a talent. Sadly, it is burried beneath too much flashy production, too many background voices, and a style that does not allow her to truly SING. "Hood Boy" is a good song, as are several others here, yet WHERE IS FANTASIA? She is MIA on this slick set. Her managers do not seem to know what the heck to do with her. Shame, too. She truly is talented.

5 stars I can't wait to hear more....Love both albums
I love fantasia....Am not going to lie I didn't think her first album was going to be a album that I'll buy listen to and love; But I dooo!!. I thought they would be all slow sing music that only show's her vocals which is not a bad thing. But boy was I wrong every one I know was talking about how good her CD was even my mamma. And her 2nd album is just as good as the first album. I love the song's on her CD b/c not only are they upbeat and not boring but they all mostly have meaning to them That ever one can relate to and still show her vocals. Keep it up I can't wait till the 3rd album
