After a few hiccups, it appears things are back on track with Fantasia‘s new album. Now set for release in June, the LP will be preceded by first official single ‘Bittersweet’ – which surfaced a few moments ago.
An Old School inspired mid-tempo, this one really creates a worthy backdrop for the richness of Fantasia’s voice to take centre stage. As a first single, however, it could could go either way for the American Idol alum; many (myself included) expressed such concerns when Fanny’s label mate Monica released ‘Everything to Me’ – and we all know what happened there. So, here’s hoping Fantasia’s situation echoes that – as I’m sure her label are hoping (I say this, as it first looked as if they opted for a more Pop route with ‘Even Angels’, only to return with a bonafide R&B cut).
Tidbit: As previously reported, Fantasia’s VH1 reality show, ‘Fantasia For Real’, has been renewed for another season.

The verses have the same chord progression as Chrisette Michele’s “What You Do”
I think it’s a pretty good, and definitely has an old school feel to it. If marketed properly, R&B could latch onto it pretty well. I don’t know how well the pop charts will take to it, but that hasn’t stopped Monica’s or Alicia’s album sales.
I do enjoy that R&B is still making its niche, especially since the dance/club dominance that has taken hold lately.
I can’t hear this song on mainstream radio..”Even Angels” was amillion times better..IMO
hey everyone!
listen to this track!
new RnB artist!
Down Tonightbye-rok
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
I like it!
Its not screaming HIT to me but I hope it is. I’m sure this will grow on me
THIS IS HAWT … I LIKE FOR TEASER THEN FULL ON FIRST OFFICIAL SINGLE LIKE MAYBE THE USHER ROUTE !!!!!!
This song is okay, and just do well on the R&B chart. However, this will have not impact on mainstream radio. I’m disappointed that J Records would choose this single because Even Angels was so much better. Fantasia is better than the material J Records wants to push.
I dont feel this.
I was expecting something bigger for the first single.
She was the winner of American Idol, I think she can come with a bigger first single, she has the voice to be on top… but I dont see this on the main charts, (on the R&b charts yes, but not on worldwide charts)
HIT. But she really really really needs to deliver an outstanding video for this to push it over the top.
The same nome for Sophie Ellis Bextor new single.
LOVE IT. to all the folks saying it won’t be a mainstream hit… well, she was never a pop act anyway. all her hit singles did modest on the top 100, but they did extremely well on the rnb charts. i’m glad she’s focusing on the rnb market instead of trying to be a pop act.
Fantasai got something that a lot of other acts don’t have when she performs this live it will be off the chain..Fantasia never needed a whole lot of hoopla to do her thing which ten years from now would be the thing that keeps her in the game..
This is a snooze fest… this sounds like a decent album track but comeback single? No ma’am. Her song “Ex You” sounds way better for a first single than this.
I love Fantasia, but this song is boring. Whoever decided this should be a comeback or lead single needs to be fired.
Love Fantasia but this is not a hit at all. It doesn’t give you the same vibe of Monica’s Everything To Me. When Everything To Me comes on it just makes you want to sit down, shut up and just listen. This is just a good record that can be used as an album filler.
Maybe they are testing the waters to see what people want…Fantasia had three bangers from the show lead with them…Wait whatever you put out I will but anyway just want some new good music…
This is an album filler record. It does not have any single, especially lead single, appeal.
I loved it from the first ad lib at the beginning. When I think of Fantasia I think of Patti Labelle and unfortunately/fortunately however you look at it, Patti was never mainstream but she was the Queen in our eyes. I don’t think Fantasia needs to go Pop because pop music lacks substance and soul and thats not who she is…Even Angels was a nice song, but her soul was taken out of the record for it to sound more “pop”. The album is gonna sell what its gonna sell because of who she is and how she affects people through her gift.
I REALLY CANT GET INTO THIS GIRL A SHAME THO CUS SHE IS TALENTED BUT IM JUST NOT A FAN OF HER MUSIC

COMMENTS WOULD BE APPRECIATED.
I just need some new music on the radio, because I am sick and tired of hearing everything to me lol. mo is cool but damn a new single like now.. But I’m not a fantasia fan at all. But I actually like this joint..
Love this. They should have left the part of her talking out, though. Still love Fanny!
I love it!! Go Tasia!
They could left the part of her talking out, but other than that, its a decent song. It not a single, especially lead single, but it nice album filler.
I wish J Records had kept the pop direction. Fantasia is one the best talents in the industry, and she should be seen by a broad audience. She can sing any genre. Her cover of “Dream On” with Train had me out of my seat. The girl is bad. R&B is too staid for a woman of Fantasia’s skill sets.
WTF? FANTASIA IS NOT A POP ACT? Why does everybody have to go the pop route for a hit. This song is the s***. People said the same s*** about ‘Everything to Me” and that song is all over the radio. R&B is making a comeback. Get over it. These popcorn are going to fade into the woodwork.

TASIAA DO IT BABYYY !!!! =]
some times u have to put family last when they keep doing u wroung i just hope she sings this time and stop yelling so much just sing think about family last and take care of your child peace on to u
I love this……but its an album track….i want to say its a single but it leaves a little to be desired i just cant put my finger on it though. I love Fanny…..maybe she needs to bring out that track she was working on in her show….the one ole dude was working on and the white guy thought it was gonna be terrible but it wasnt
now just watch Fantasia do her thing live..She will kill this song watch her work …Fantasia will change the song up every time she sing it ..Thats the FANTASIA way ..The song will do what it does than she wil do the rest..
This song is hot, Fantasia is not pop and people need to stop trying to may her like everyone else. She’s soulful and different, she’s old school like when people really sang.
Fantasia has and old soul, young people are so use to people who dance and can’t really sing with all sorts of enhancements to he them sound better. This is just singing no fullers and when you hear her live she just omg amazing.
This is nice, I like it, I have already added to rotation on my site’s online radio station.

people let me just start by saying that Fantasia is the best dinger-performer thats in the game right now… So if you feel that she hollers to much, thats her signature like beyonce’s uh ooh’s or Alicia keys sitting at that paino… So to recognize talent you must be gifted but in my professional opinion Fanny as most of you call her will be the greatest artist of our time and this is a prophecy from GOD…
I loooooved her last album to death even though it only did so-so. This seems like a nice song but I’m not feelin’ it.
i loveee this song fantasia is back with this one it may not cross over to the pop side but its a great comeback for her this is HOT ……….
I LOVE IT she can really sing and it comes from the heart I agreewith Mr. Still Satnding watch out!!!!!
