With her upcoming untitled LP set for a July 13th release, many of Fantasia’s fans are wondering about what type of sound to expect on the record. In response to that speculation, songwriter Rico Love has divulged to Rap-Up.com that he intends to bring out the energetic entertainer’s “sexy” side. Check out what Love had to say about the project below:
“Fantasia and I did four records together,” he tells Rap-Up.com. “I wanted to make sexy records for Fantasia. I wanted to show people her seductive side. I think we did some really, really strong records.”
The ‘Hey Daddy’ songwriter, who’s worked with everyone from Beyoncé to Shakira, says Fantasia was on his wish list of collaborators. “It was my dream. Fantasia is a great vocalist, one of the greatest I’ve ever worked with.”
The recording process was a breeze. “Literally we were cutting songs in 45 minutes ’cause she would just nail the vibe,” he explains. “Anything I wanted her to sing, she sings it.” {Source}
When it comes to Fantasia, the word ‘sexy’ is not one of the first terms to come to mind. In fact, her explosive energy and raw vocal delivery probably take people to church rather than to the bedroom. However, given her raspy vocal texture, a more sultry approach is definitely something that Fantasia can easily perform.
With tracks such as ‘Bittersweet’ and ‘Even Angels’ on the record, it looks like this album may be one of the strongest R&B offerings of the year; catering to a wide array of listeners. Besides, unlike some of the other artists that Love is currently working with, sex certainly isn’t the only thing that Fantasia has to offer.

Just came back from her concert at the indigo2, I swear it changed my life, she’s the Tina Turner/Patti Labelle of her generation, that voice is supernatural and her energy is unreal

Go Tasia! I love Fantasia and have been rooting for her since she was on Idol, making calls religiously. But she’s gotta get her stuff together. First they can start with her image. She should stop with the Family reality show. I don’t want her to end up like another Keisha Cole and her ghetto ass family. It should be all about the music. Release great music, a great album, and give some fire performances! I’m rooting for her.
BTW I still don’t approve of that picture with the lint roller behind her head lmao

Yes…
When all else fails, so ‘em a little p*ssy. Desperate much?
I think this is a daft move. Concerning Fantasia, sex is at the bottom of the list with re-carpeting the bathroom and cleaning the septic tank….you just don’t want to go there.

YESSSSS
Keep on hating haters!
So ready for Fantasia’s new album.
I just hope the songs have better production than Bittersweet. Sorry me no like the production on that song. Whoever produced it gave her some sloppy left overs from another song. Although the words are beautiful and she sings it well.

I look forward to Fantasia’s album but nothing I’ve heard thus far has been even remotely ear-catching. She needs to get her image together bc lets face it, its lacking.

You need to sit your ignorant ass down. In case you didn’t know (which is obvious), Londoners came out in huge numbers to see Miss Barrino shut it shown.
You need to take your miserable ass back to your living quarters in your grandmother’s basement!
