Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Freak of Nature, the second album from former wedding singer Anastacia Newkirk, continues the late-1980s funk pop revival that her debut Not That Kind started. And in true 1980s style, everything's big. From the striding groove of the title track to the flag-waving chorus on "Paid My Dues" and the aerobic workouts of "One Day in Your Life" and "Don't Stop (Doin' It)", her larger-than-life vocals are matched at every turn by feisty attitudes and pounding tunes. As before, sincerity-challenged power ballads are the only sticking point; although this time they're kept to a minimum, and while it may be hard to tell her apart from Mariah and company on "I Dreamed of You", it provides ample opportunity to secure fragile crockery before her ferocious wail revs up again. Sticking to the anthemic Chaka Khan formula makes Freak of Nature a dependable follow-up album, but when it charts the middle ground between ballad and bombast--as with "Overdue Goodbye" and "Secrets"--it betters its predecessor. With lingering melodies and tender funk struts, Anastacia prooves she doesn't have to positively belt out a tune in order to soar. --Mark Daniels

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 31 Dec 2001
By A Customer
WOW! This album is brilliant!
Freak Of Nature- this sassy and funky song is definately a future single.
Paid My Dues- First single, and my goodness- what a single! Anastacia uses her mighty lungs to the full here!
Overdue Goodbye-Beautifully relaxing. I love the soft country sound of this one.
You'll Never Be Alone-Lovely. The type of song that Anastacia does best, yep it's a powerful ballad.Definately has single potential
One Day In Your Life- Same production as I'm Outta Love, but I've got no problem with that! It will be a hit when it is released.
How Come The World Won't Stop- My personal favourite- its tear-jerking, heartfelt lyrics get the eyes watering. Purely placid.
Why'd You Lie To Me- Lyrics,"good for nothing type o' brother" reminiscent of Destiny's Child's "Bills, Bills, Bills." Fantastic!
Dont'cha Wanna- Groovetastic! I love the chorus.
Secrets-A wondeful, cooled down song, which includes lots of feeling and emotion.
Don't Stop-Another magnificent disco-tastic stomper.
I Dreamed You- Astounding piano ballad, which fits Anastacias amazing vocals perfectly.
Overdue Goodbye (Reprise)- Another reminder of the celestially chilled feel of the third track, polishing off another amplut album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Whoa, Girl Friend Got it goin on!, 31 Mar 2002
By A Customer
A while ago I bought anastacias first album, "Not that kind". It was absolutely amazing, and when I heard about her doing a new album, I thought there would be no way that she could equal the quality of the last one- however, she proved me wrong. Girlfriends voice is 100% fantastic on every track, using her husky large range to deliver powerballads, and funky songs, and keeping the vocals tantalising. Here is my review for each song:

1) Freak Of Nature: 5/5, An exciting opening, with a really funky bass line.

2) Paid My dues 4/5, going back to the old pop delivery such as with the 1st album on I'm outta love. A good 1st single.

3)Overdue Goodbye 4/5, and interesting mix of country and pop, handled with expertise and vocally amazing.

4) You'll never be alone 5/5, amazing song, with fantastic lyrics, melody, and especially vocals. The best vocal on the album

5) One day in your life 5/5, a catchy follow up single, has potential.

6) How come the world dont stop 5/5, a really nice chilled ballad, showing anastacias more controlled side.

7) Why'd you lie to me 2/5, this song sounds like album filler, I generally skip over this one, however, her vocals shine through 1nce again.

8) Dontcha wanna 5/5, a sexy funky pop tune that is fantastic and catchy.

9) Secrets 5/5, a fantastic slower pop song, with a really catchy tune and lovely beginning.

10) Dont stop 5/5, this song grows on you with time, it will have you singing it by the end, along with anastacias fantastic vocals.

11) I dreamed you 5/5, a perfect ending, with mostly pianoaccapella. Without the beat throughout, sounds fantastic, and builds into a very aretha franklin style ending.

12) Overdue goodbye (reprise), 3/5, I think this was just a filler to bulk up the album, nothing different to the 1st version.

5.0 out of 5 stars U go girl, u rule!!, 13 Jun 2002
By A Customer
This album is so amazing. Her voice is strong and blows your mind away! Anastacia has definatley shown her talent well by producing this fantastic not-to-missed album! Here's what i think personnally of the sound tracks on 'Freak Of Nature':

Freak of Nature: Superb! What a great song 4 a n intro, funky bass, cool lyrics, catchy tune, it just wants 2 get u dancin man!

Paid my dues: Her all-ready hit! Wicked lyrics and anouther catchy tune-it just wants 2 get u dancin along 2 it!

Overdue goodbye: A nice song with good lyrics about an 'overdue goodbye' to a boyfriend. A nice use of acoostics!

You'll never be alone: I think this song is the best slowest song on the album. Anastacia shows that her voice is just as good at fast and slow songs, beautifully sung!

One day in your life: A typical up-beat tune with a great use of voice, absolutley fab!!

How come the world won't stop: A pretty good song. I love the lyrics about a a girl who wishes to see the boy she fancies but it doesn't turn out. Boo hoo! Nice song girl!

Why'd u lie 2 me: A great song! The beat immediantly catches your attention, and believe me, once u've heard it, u won't be able 2 stop listening 2 it!!

Don't cha: One of the best on the album! A cool loud beat with good lyrics about a girl who wants 2 make a boy fall in luv with her as he is too scared 2, umm, pretty sly.....

Secrets: I think this song is ok. It isn't that good, but worth a listen. It calms u down afta a long hard day.

Don't stop (Doin it): Anouther good song by the queen of soul. A great catchy tune, nice lyrics that wanna make u sing ure heart out!!

I dreamed u: Anouther superb song. A nice beat with great voice and talent. This is a relaxing song, so sit back, relax and listen 2 the great voice.

Overdue goodbye (Reprise): This is ok. I prefer the normal one, but a nice experiment with music, instruments and voice. How good is she?

If u r thinking of purchasing this album, get it!! Anastacia is one of the best singers i have EVER heard! Her voice is different, new and original. She DEFINITELY has some talent! If u wanna achieve anything, do it. Anastacia inspires me so much, if u want somethin go for it! A great voice, great talents, great inspiration, a great album!

3.0 out of 5 stars Anastacia, please use Bob Ludwig in your production.
There's something strange about this album, it has a toppy, gritty edge to the treble with a balance on the cold side and seems more compressed than her first. Read more
