Set for release on the 24th of the month, Fantasia's return entitled 'Back to Me' has shaped up to be quite the nice project, and hopefully fueled by her hot ghetto press will turn some $$$ for the powerhouse. Her first project in at least 4 years, it HAD to reflect some type of growth & I was pleasantly surprised the direction her & her team chose to go. Tracks like 'Who's Been Lovin You' & 'Falling in Love Tonight' have all the elements of what i like to call 'Music Whitefication' or Top 40 treatment... With a voice like Fannys we dont always need to hear a down home CHURCH FEST and i'm glad she has finally realized... But they couldn't pull her away from the shoe kicking, foot stomping, neckbone chewing antics she has become 'mildly' famous for, {LMAO} giving us tracks like 'Collard Greens & Cornbread' where she insists on comparing love to COON FOOD! But i cant even PAY it cause she sings BACK on this track.

Stand Out Tracks:

1. 'Im Doin Me' --This has a good feel to it, great opener not too much not to little.

4. 'Who's Been Lovin You' -- Im surprised this hasn't got the single treatment yet... Perfect Song! No oversinging with perfect melodic back track. TOP 40 Material.

7. 'Move On Me' -- This Absolutely feels GOOD! Her team was right tho, NOT single material. Something is lacking in the verses but that chorus LORD JESUS.

10. 'Falling in Love Tonight' -- SUPERB production... Another TOP 40 pick for me... even tho who knows who the guy is this song is VERY easy on the ear... LOVE IT!

Over All, i'm loving the direction this Bangee Bitch is heading... hopefully someone can get her image together and we will be good!

Overall 3.5 out of 5 PUMPS! Go Fanny!
