Amazon.co.uk Review
IFreak of Nature/I, the second album from former wedding singer Anastacia Newkirk, continues the late-1980s funk pop revival that her debut INot That Kind/I 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 IFreak of Nature/I 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. --IMark Daniels/I

WOW! This album is brilliant!brFreak Of Nature- this sassy and funky song is definately a future single.brPaid My Dues- First single, and my goodness- what a single! Anastacia uses her mighty lungs to the full here!brOverdue Goodbye-Beautifully relaxing. I love the soft country sound of this one.brYou'll Never Be Alone-Lovely. The type of song that Anastacia does best, yep it's a powerful ballad.Definately has single potentialbrOne 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.brHow Come The World Won't Stop- My personal favourite- its tear-jerking, heartfelt lyrics get the eyes watering. Purely placid.brWhy'd You Lie To Me- Lyrics,good for nothing type o' brother reminiscent of Destiny's Child's Bills, Bills, Bills. Fantastic!brDont'cha Wanna- Groovetastic! I love the chorus.brSecrets-A wondeful, cooled down song, which includes lots of feeling and emotion.brDon't Stop-Another magnificent disco-tastic stomper. brI Dreamed You- Astounding piano ballad, which fits Anastacias amazing vocals perfectly.brOverdue Goodbye (Reprise)- Another reminder of the celestially chilled feel of the third track, polishing off another amplut album.

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:p1) Freak Of Nature: 5/5, An exciting opening, with a really funky bass line.p2) 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.p3)Overdue Goodbye 4/5, and interesting mix of country and pop, handled with expertise and vocally amazing.p4) You'll never be alone 5/5, amazing song, with fantastic lyrics, melody, and especially vocals. The best vocal on the albump5) One day in your life 5/5, a catchy follow up single, has potential.p6) How come the world dont stop 5/5, a really nice chilled ballad, showing anastacias more controlled side.p7) 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. p8) Dontcha wanna 5/5, a sexy funky pop tune that is fantastic and catchy.p9) Secrets 5/5, a fantastic slower pop song, with a really catchy tune and lovely beginning.p10) 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.p11) 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.p12) Overdue goodbye (reprise), 3/5, I think this was just a filler to bulk up the album, nothing different to the 1st version.

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':pFreak 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!pPaid my dues: Her all-ready hit! Wicked lyrics and anouther catchy tune-it just wants 2 get u dancin along 2 it!pOverdue goodbye: A nice song with good lyrics about an 'overdue goodbye' to a boyfriend. A nice use of acoostics!pYou'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!pOne day in your life: A typical up-beat tune with a great use of voice, absolutley fab!!pHow 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!pWhy'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!!pDon'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.....pSecrets: I think this song is ok. It isn't that good, but worth a listen. It calms u down afta a long hard day.pDon'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!!pI 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.pOverdue goodbye (Reprise): This is ok. I prefer the normal one, but a nice experiment with music, instruments and voice. How good is she?pIf 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!

Well what can I say that no-one else has already said about this fantastic album. Basically the whole album is pop-tastic, she has put together an album which outshines her previous one 'Not that kind' because the tracks are so upbeat a few are tracks that you can just chill out to after a hard day at work, and the rest just get you in the mood to get up and dance. pHere is a few tracks which I think are the Bees Knees: 'Freak of Nature' a very upbeat track which gets the adrenalin going, 'Paid my dues' classy number, 'One day in your Life' this one is a favourite of mine because it reminds me of certain events in my life. pSo all in all a excellent album which is a must buy, so if you don't go out buy it you have lost out big style. pAll the best Cat brAnastacia fan from Northern Ireland

Whenever I hear some of the songs on her album, my feet start moving all by themselves, especially the hit single 'Paid my dues' has that effect on me. Even when I enter the training room bone-tired, if they put that song on, I'm a new woman, filled with energy and in a good mood. It works as well when I'm just lazing around and listen to that CD, my moods always goes up a few notches.brGreat CD! Worthy music and damn, has she got a smoky powerful voice!
