Fantasia's Rock-Soul Album, "Side Effects Of You" (April 23) & "Lose to Win" Music Video

I thought that "Lose to Win" was only okay when I first heard it, but the music video that was released caused me to really like the song.

Has the song grown on anyone else? Do you think that Fantasia's upcoming album will be successful?

"Get It Right" sounds much more rock soul than the first single:

I think this album could do well. Fantasia can definitely do the rock-soul thing...

I'm looking forward to the new sound. That last album was horrible. She really lost her individuality with it. It's time for her to get back to some real SANGIN'!

Fantasia looks nice in the first video.... I like her new look and I like the song as well ...It sounds very 80s Lionel Richie lol .

Im looking forward to this. We need some fresh blood on the music scene.

The second youtube video was taken off.

Yep. Her last album sold around 500,000 copies, and her first single from that album caused her to win a Grammy for Best Female R&B Vocal.

Tom Joyner played snippets from Fantasia's new album. Here are the links:

http://v3.player.abacast....diainc.asx

Based on the snippets, my favorite songs will be "Side Effects Of You", "In Deep", "Without Me", "Lighthouse", "Ain't All Bad", "End Of Me" and "Get It Right".

Not really, but at least she's trying.

^Fantasia won a Grammy from her last album, and her album sold around 500,000 copies. For an R&B artist, that is more than decent.

She's still "trying" because she's one of the most talented and because she's been consistently successful.

I love this new song by Fantasia. She can't miss with Missy producing her. Missy is a incredibly talented producer they go good together. Plus with the beautiful Kelly Rowland at times you can't tell them apart in vocals...It will be a major hit for her...

I was on wikipedia wondering whatever happened to Andrea Martin

This track is on her page. Its cute and I like the Phil Collins-ish throwback beat, I bet Andrea's demo was amazing. Fantasia just doesn't do it for me as a singer.

The track with Missy reminded me of that Beyonce Bow Down Bitches mess. I'm so old.

I must admit that I liked her performance on American Idol and the song sounds better live to me. Here's her performance:
