Music reviews of Heavy Rotation
Music Review: Pure retro mainstream.
Rating: 4 Stars
On her fourth album, Anastacia has taken advantage of the appetite for Winehouse-style jazzy yowling and worked a musical arrangement that suits her alleycat tone.
The brassy-voiced US singer recently fessed up to turning 40, considered ancient in pop years.
Some sinuous Stevie Wonder-style funk hints at what Anastacia could do if she stopped trying to compete with the kids.
Emphasising pop production over soulful substance, she compromises her talent for mainstream radio accessibility.
Collaborators and producers on the album include such music heavyweights as Ne-Yo, Lester Mendez, JR Rotem, Guy Chambers and Rodney Jerkins.
She sounds like a whole different (and bearable) performer on the sultry "Same Song", but stops short of delivering an entire album of "Back To Black" 1960s soul pastiches.
"Absolutely positive" mines the slick soul sound of later decades; "Defeated" is a Christina Aguilera-style survivor song, which is knowing in its use of clichés.
Songs like "The Way I See It" contain a deliberately retro vibe that's reminiscent of both Amy Winehouse (vocally) and Mark Ronson (courtesy of its trumpet background). It's inferior to both and feels like a jumping on the bandwagon type of track.
"I called the album "Heavy Rotation" because it's a phrase that originated with DJs", Anastacia explains. "Also, for me, the meaning is that life can be heavy, but it all turns around and goes into something else. It seemed to be the perfect title for where I'm at in my life".
"Heavy Rotation" is, like the artist, simply powerful, sexy, funky and cool.
And sometimes, a little over the top.
As she sings in closing track "Beautiful Messed Up World", 'Life's like music, don't wanna turn it down. Gotta live it loud and love the groove that keeps spinnin' around', this is an album you won't want to turn down or switch off.
On the title track, she resorts to the bog-standard come-hither dance pop sound in which Madonna and Kylie have taken refuge, before rounding off like an unhinged Enya on "Never Gonna Love Again".
Pure mainstream.
Pop,pop, pop.
Description of Heavy Rotation
2008 release, the fourth studio album from this Pop/Soul diva. Sounding as bold and soulful as ever, the follow up to 2005's compilation Pieces Of A Dream shows that Anastacia remains one of the finest voices in modern day Pop. Includes collaborations with producers Ne-Yo, The Heavyweights, Lester Mendez, JR Rotem and Rodney Jerkins. First single 'I Can Feel You' contains the kind of power and emotion fans are used to while 'The Way' is a nod to '60s Motown. Universal.Pop CDs
