New Song: Fantasia – ‘The Thrill Is Gone (ft. Cee-Lo)’

Published: Saturday 14th Aug 2010 by Sam

It has no doubt been a whirlwind week in the world of Fantasia; so much so that the fact she is set to release her ‘Back to Me’ LP in less than two weeks has easily been overshadowed. Hence, the surfacing of new song ‘The Thrill Is Gone’ today is particularly apt.

Take a listen the Old Skool-inspired, Cee-Lo assisted cut after the jump…

The butter-smooth production (which gives a nod to classic 60s /70s R&B), compliments Fantasia’s trademark raspinness, resulting in a blissful juxtaposition of a track. It’s raw, it’s soft, it’s passionate, it’s serene…. it’s a winner.

With the industry being so cut-throat, Fantasia’s opt for an all-out R&B album, left me somewhat worried about the LP’s prospects. (An Urban enthusiast I may be, but it’s important to keep it real). However, if the album manages to deliver quality in the vain of ”Thrill’, the American Idol alum may just have hit a home run this go round…

    This song I hope is a single! Fantasia’s album really seems like a pure hit to me so far. All of these single/leaks are all amazing. Can’t wait to hear the full album!

    This song is SCREAMS R&B… I love it so much. Its amazing how despite her personal life, she is still allowing her music and voice to speak for its self. This song should be the second single. NO IF ANDS OR BUTS… All the true R&B people will appreciate this one! GO FANTASIA

    This sounds like its on an old AM radio and I didnt like AM radio even back in the day. Where is the bass on the instrumental? This sucks, unless they change the instrumental on it imo

    I love her voice for has a radio hit we will have to wait and see, but I can tell you this it will be a hit on the R&B for sure.

    Nice song, she has a strong voice, please Fanny get your personal life together.

  21. Amazin’ August 15, 2010

    Love it!!!!!!

  22. PropertyOf August 15, 2010

    This song is a true R&B smash.. I honestly believe that this song has the potential to break records like “When I see You”. When I see you reached #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and spent a year on the chart, one of only fourteen songs in history to achieve that feat.

    I just wish she would filter all the other bullsht so people would take more time to appreciate her talent.. She is the most under rated soul artist on my generation..
