“History” commences with ample attitude, thanks to a bold, unapologetic intro. Fantasia’s hype man makes it clear that “This is a push, bitch” and that the R&B diva is “Slaying these bitches.” Fair enough. She certainly lacks no confidence in her own performance, asserting her return to be “The best comeback of the century.” Is that pushing it? Per...
‘Grown-folks’ R&B ballad ✓ “Enough” marked Grammy-winner Fantasia’s first new single since releasing Christmas After Midnight in 2017. Although more than four-and-a-half-minutes long, “Enough” ends up being worth every second of its duration. The production work is a big selling point, with it’s a lush mix of adult contemporary R&B, urban contempor...
“The Way!” is a fitting follow-up to “Enough,” given the fact that both records reside in that adult contemporary, grown-folks brand of R&B. “The Way!” is short (just a little more than two minutes in duration), sort of old-fashioned in sound, but suits Fantasia well all in all. “Enough” is the more accomplished number, but “The Way!” certainly hig...
“Free” has a tough act to follow – “Bad Girl” is epic – but holds its own exceptionally well. This gives Fantasia a socially conscious number, hearkening back to the soul of old, yet feeling pertinent to times like these. One of my personal favorite moments comes during the second verse, where Fantasia sings, “Ain’t gonna mute your voice, I’m gonna...
If “Take Off” is the ‘weakest link’ of Sketchbook in an album with some terrific songs, ✓ “Fighting” has a case for the crowning achievement. At worst, “Fighting” ranks among the crème de la crème. The expected checkboxes – voice and production– are checked off for Fantasia. Making “Fighting” even more thrilling is the theme of love and dedication,...
Following the ‘fight,’ Fantasia shines on the final two cuts of Sketchbook. First comes ✓ “Warning,” which truly shows off the ‘rock-soul’ abilities of the diva. The energy, from the onset, is one of the biggest pros. The chorus is nothing short of epic, particularly the hook line, “Don’t you let her.” After amplifying the spirit of rock and soul, ...
The Definition of… was a disappointing Fantasia album in my eyes – and I’m a super fan. Sketchbook is definitely a more enjoyable, better rounded album from the often-underrated Grammy winner. Why Sketchbookworks in my eyes is because it shows that Barrino isn’t one dimensional. Yes, she’s R&B overall, but she has the ability to thrive in pop, rock...
