That's not Anastacia!

As long as I've wanted a comeback of Anastacia. Then it finally happened and it was announced that a new album. Full of expectation I bought the album. And expectations were naturally high, considering previous hit albums like "Freak of Nature", "Anastacia" or even the "Best Of". Of course artists need to evolve in the course of their careers. Only that is not always that the success will follow automatically. I regret to say, Anastacia has chosen the wrong path. On the new album Anastacia is indeed once again how beautiful her voice is, but (almost) not a single song on the CD has star potential, not even recognizable. Everything sounds simple to Billigpop truncated, even if a little soul to be there. The songs you can hear and think: Aha, and that's it? Just standard, nothing more ...
Se Soul would fit perfectly to Anastacia, but these songs will certainly not succeed. This is already the first single "I Can Feel You", which has not really hit like a bomb. These songs are Anastacia simply not worthy, that's a waste of a great artist! The only notable songs from the album and also the highlights for me are the one "Never Gonna Love Again". The song is simply different. He stands out compared to the other songs on the album and also shows a different side of Anastacia. This song has at least something special in itself. On the other hand comes on the same song, "Heavy Rotation" old Anastacia feel. Rock beats and catchy music - at least a little bit left of the old Anastacia ...
All in all, I can only give 3 stars this album unfortunately. Actually, it would have earned only 2 stars, but since I'm a longtime fan of Anastacia, I would not do that to her, so an extra point because it is one of the best artists simply that the world has ever seen. Although this album is a disappointment, I hope that Anastacia will recover from this setback and still carries on. I look forward to at least another album, but please altgewohnter quality, then I forget this album also immediately ...
