With the release of Fantasia‘s comeback album ‘Side Effects Of You’ drawing nearer, the American Idol alum is wasting no time giving fans a teaser-taste of what to expect from the set.
Fresh from unwrapping the video for the project’s lead single ‘Lose To Win’, the 28-year-old stopped by WHUR radio in Washington today to premiere buzz cut ‘If I Was A Bird’.
Without any further adieu, then, listen to Fantasia soar after the jump…
{SONG REMOVED AS REQUESTED}
Refreshing!
While not quite boasting the “Rock Soul” sound Ms. Barrino has been touting, the song certainly makes for a solid listen – especially lyrically.
All too often the topic of love is musically addressed in the same formulaic manner, yet here a simple but powerful metaphor is used to relay how joyous, yet restrictive the “L” word can be. The overall message is cemented with a potent, yet understated vocal performance from Fantasia.
Is ‘Bird’ single worthy? Not for us. However, it does what it says on the tin and has us buzz-ing even more for its housing album. Roll on April 23rd!
