After early support from Elton John and success across the UK and much of Europe, Anastacia's debut album gets a U.S. relaunch with one additional track. More Chaka Khan than Mariah Carey, the Chicago-born Anastacia brings both a powerful voice and a sense of restraint to these performances. There's no doubt that this is a grown woman, not another teenager copying Britney Spears' attempts to conjure Janet Jackson. All that said, something unconvincing lurks in Not That Kind. The singer (and co-writer of most of these songs) has obviously done her homework on '70s soul music; "Don'tcha Wanna" owes enough to Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)" to occasion a co-writing credit to the maestro. It's simply that she relies too much on mannerism to fully give herself to the material. She sounds at home enough within these modernized pastiches of everything from late Atlantic-period Aretha to Donna Summer, but never really socks one home the way a complete original like Macy Gray would. In turn, that failure makes the attitudinizing of "Yo Trippin'" and "Why'd You Lie to Me" fall flat. --Rickey Wright

Customer Reviews

It's about time for a good pop diva!
Where have all the divas gone? I bought this album on the recommendation of Amazon customers (thanks, everyone), since I'm always looking for good music. Especially since this is a female vocalist, it caught my eye.

Anastacia rocks! She can belt like the divas of old (the 20th Century). She has attitude, and sings songs that you can really listen to and relate to. I gave a lower rating because I feel like it came across as just a touch commercial. But maybe that will help her to extend into the mainstream. I'm looking forward to hearing more from this singer.

Hot!
Anastacia is one hot diva! With a soulful, distinct voice, she is a powerhouse who has enjoyed amazing success overseas with limited success in the US, mostly due to having released very little to the North American market. This CD is not available at stores in the US - it was only released across the pond. But, it's a buy well worth it!

Best Choice
Fast delivery and perfect conditions. Happy with my new album of Anastacia. Thanks!
