Freak of Nature, the second album from former wedding singer Anastacia
Newkirk, continues the late-1980s funk pop revival that her debut Not
That Kind started. And in true 1980s style, everything's big. From the
striding groove of the title track to the flag-waving chorus on "Paid
My Dues" and the aerobic workouts of "One Day in Your Life" and "Don't
Stop (Doin' It)", her larger-than-life vocals are matched at every turn
by feisty attitudes and pounding tunes. As before, sincerity-challenged
power ballads are the only sticking point; although this time they're
kept to a minimum, and while it may be hard to tell her apart from
Mariah and company on "I Dreamed of You", it provides ample opportunity
to secure fragile crockery before her ferocious wail revs up again.
Sticking to the anthemic Chaka Khan formula makes Freak of Nature a
dependable follow-up album, but when it charts the middle ground
between ballad and bombast--as with "Overdue Goodbye" and "Secrets"--it
betters its predecessor. With lingering melodies and tender funk
struts, Anastacia prooves she doesn't have to positively belt out a
tune in order to soar.
Mark Daniels
"Nie mehr ohne Brille" scheint sich Anastacia auch bei diesem
Albumcover gedacht zu haben - wenngleich auf ihrem heißen Neuling
Freak Of Nature noch weniger als beim Vorgänger Not That Kind zu
hören ist, dass sie sich diesen Spleen aufgrund ihrer tiefen
Verehrung für Elton John angewöhnt hat.
Der wäre sicherlich froh, so viel Sexappeal und Soul in ganz
London zu finden, wie sie Anastacia im kleinen Finger bzw. im Stimmband
hat. Die extrem ungewöhnliche Stimme der früheren
Tänzerin (z.B. im Salt'n-Pepa-Video "Twist And Shout"), schwarz,
deep, dirty, bescherte ihren Soul-Superhits "I'm Outta Love" und "I'm
Not That Kind" einen druckvollen und körperbetonten Drive und eine
Energie, der dem Album Not That Kind Vielfachplatin in aller Herren
Länder und frenetische Jubelstürme von Medien und Publikum
einbrachte. Anastacia avancierte schnell zum Everybody's Darling der
Pop-, Soul-, R&B- und Dance-Szene. Frauenzeitschriften kopierten
ihren Look, Yellow-Pressmenschen wühlten in ihrer Mülltonne
und Musikbibeln stöberten in ihren Produktionsmethoden.
Man muss diese hochtalentierte Selfmadefrau mit der Stimme irgendwo
zwischen Gospelchor, Chaka Khan, Tina Turner, Joyce Kennedy und
Straßengöre auch einfach lieben. Als Tochter eines Crooners
und einer Broadway-Darstellerin weiß Anastacia außerdem,
welche Songs zu ihr passen, und welche das Publikum liebt. Und so
vereint sie auch auf Freak Of Nature rotzige Soulhämmer ("Freak Of
Nature") mit zarteren Gitarrentönen, Folk und Gospelchören
("Overdue Goodbye", "How Come The World Won't Stop"). Dazu setzt sie
ein paar Herzschmerzballaden ("You'll Never Be Alone", "Secrets", "I
Dreamed You"), rockt gepflegt Richtung Mother's Finest ("Don't Cha
Wanna"), klingt nach Stevie Wonder ("Don't Stop") nutzt ab und zu
modernere Sounds aus der R&B-Ecke und mischt sie mit
Akustikgitarren ("Why D'You Lie To Me") und lädt immer wieder zum
ausgelassenen Tanz mit starken Diskohymnen Marke "Fame" und 80er ("One
Day In Your Life").
Selbstverständlich lud Anastacia die Crème de la
Crème der Songwriter ins Studio und arbeitete bei elf der Lieder
auch selbst mit. Selbstverständlich wurde auch hier das Pulver
nicht unbedingt neu erfunden, manche Songs klingen gar wie
Coverversionen von bekannten Hits. Sind sie aber nicht. Nur gut
geklaut! Aber die mitreißende Art Anastacias, ihre Songs zu
leben, sich ekstatisch daran zu freuen und ihre Lebenslust heraus zu
schreien, dazu die filigrane und durchdachte Art der Produktion mit
vielen akustischen Gitarren, machen die CD doch noch zum
Schatzkästlein voller angenehmer Überraschungen.

Anastacia - Story
Ein Debütalbum und Songs, die sich aus dem Stand zu einem nahezu
weltweiten Erfolg entwickeln, sowie mit zahlreichen Preisen und
Nominierungen der Branche bedacht werden, sollten eigentlich für
sich sprechen. Weltweit wurden von ANASTACIAs erstem Album "Not That
Kind" bisher fast 4 Millionen Exemplare verkauft. Ihre Hitsingles "I'm
Outta Love" und "Not That Kind" brachten es auf insgesamt weltweit fast
2 Millionen Exemplare. Und von diesem Ergebniss wurde sie selbst
überrascht: "Auf dem ersten Album wusste ich einfach noch nicht,
wie ich dort hin komme. Da war noch alles so neu für mich: Leute,
die dich treffen wollen, Fototermine, Videoaufnahmen zum erfolgreichen
Album...Ich wusste nicht mehr, wo mir der Kopf steht. Ich denke, dass
mein Songwriting und meine Essenz als Künstlerin und Sängerin
bereits mit dem ersten Album deutlich geworden sind."
Atemberaubende Verkaufszahlen sind jedoch kein Garant für eine
dauerhafte Karriere und könnten im Grunde von jedem Retorten-Star
erzielt werden, wenn nur genug Geld und die einschlägige
Produzentenriege dahintersteht.
Bei der 28-jährigen Sängerin und Songwriterin ANASTACIA
liegen die Dinge nicht so einfach. Sie ist ihren eigenen Weg gegangen,
hat sich nicht verbiegen lassen und hat trotzdem oder gerade deshalb
ihr Publikum überzeugt. "Dennoch ist es mir erst mit dem zweiten
Album wirklich gelungen, das, worauf es mir ankam, herauszuarbeiten."
Mit dieser ehrlichen Haltung und ihrer kräftigen, markanten Stimme
hält sie den Spannungsbogen mit den Songs des neuen Albums "Freak
Of Nature" aufrecht: Von dem titelgebenden Funk &
Rock-Einstiegssong "Freak Of Nature", über die ebenso flotte wie
eingängige erste Singleauskopplung "Paid My Dues", die
einfühlsame Ballade "You'll Never Be Alone" und den Uptempo-Track
"One Day In Your Life" bis hin zu dem überraschend folkig-erdigen
Abschiedssong "Overdue Goodbye".
Ihre Inspirationen bekommt Anastacia von vielen Dingen. Gerade das
Reisen durch die verschiedenen Länder dieser Erde gaben ihr den
Weitblick zu ihren Texten und ihrer Musik: "Ich konnte mit offenen
Ohren auf meinen Reisen viele akustische Eindrücke und Erfahrungen
sammeln. Du befindest dich in einem anderen Land, Deutschland zum
Beispiel, und hörst dir deren musikalische Interpretationen an.
Auch wenn du kein Wort von den Texten verstehst, kannst du die
Schwingungen und die Basis der Musik wahrnehmen und überhaupt sehr
viel aus der Musik über die unterschiedlichen Kulturen erfahren.
Und alle diese Erfahrungen haben in gewisser Weise den Klang meines
neuen Albums beeinflusst."
Abschliessend eine Aussage der gutaussehenden, blonden Dame zu ihrem
Album, die eigentlich jegliches Kommentar überflüssig werden
lässt: "Es ist mir gelungen so tief zu gehen, wie ich wollte."
BIG-VOICED diva Anastacia has sold more than four million copies of her
debut album of formulaic pop. Taking no time off to count the
royalties, Anastacia fires off her second album of gutsy "soul" pop and
gruesome ballads. You’ll Never Be Alone is a Jacko-style
"inspiration" number, Why’d You Lie to Me is the token
Latino-flavoured R&B wiggle, while disco effort Don’t Stop
(Doin’ It) sounds like an escapee from the last Five album, but
with a grim Al Green impersonator on vocal duties. Anastacia has a big
personality, but is burdened with one of the least appealing singing
styles imaginable. She sounds as if she is trying to cough up phlegm
and no amount of Macy Gray pretensions can dislodge it.
Review by Fiona Shepherd
«Boom»: Anastacia singt die WM-Hymne
Das ist ein musikalischer Superstreich, Anastacia! Ihre zweite CD
«Freak Of Nature» ist eine Steigerung ihres millionenfach
verkauften Erstlings. Nicht mehr zu steigern: Das kesse US-Girl singt
– auf den Spuren von Ricky Martin – die Hymne zur
Fussball-Weltmeisterschaft 2002 in Korea/Japan: «Boom».
«Soccer, Fussball?», fragt Anastacia erstaunt beim
BLICK-Interview, «ob ich davon etwas verstehe? Oh Gott, nein. Ich
habe zwar Namen wie Pele, Maradona oder Beckenbauer schon gehört.
Aber frag mich nicht nach irgendeinem Club oder einer Regel.»
Anastacia ist aufgekratzt. Die Komplimente für ihre neue CD nimmt
die stets gut Gelaunte strahlend entgegen.
Du scheinst immer guter Laune zu sein. Bist du ein fröhlicher Mensch?
Anastacia: «Ja, das bin ich.»
Gratuliere, geniales Album.
«Danke, ich bin sehr stolz darauf. Ich wollte, ich hätte
sowas bereits mit meiner ersten CD fertiggebracht. Ich glaube, das
erste Album hat nur wegen meiner Stimme so gut verkauft. Hier aber sind
Stimme, Texte, Songs nahezu perfekt. Das bin nun wirklich ich. Ohne
Schnörkel und Abstriche. Auch wenn die CD nicht verkaufen
würde, ich würde sie lieben.»
Es tönt alles sehr locker.
«Ich schrieb alle Songs innert zwei Monaten, nahm dann das Album spontan auf.»
Spürtest du wegen deines Debüt-Erfolges Druck?
«Überhaupt nicht. In meiner Heimat USA ist meine erste CD
noch nicht erschienen. Weil ich sie dafür nicht gut genug fand.
Deshalb wollte ich die zweite so konzipieren, dass sie weltweit
erscheint, und dass ich damit auch auf Welttournee inklusive Amerika
gehen kann. Auf der Bühne kann ich die Songs beider CDs
zusammengemixt performen.»
Wie entstanden diese sackstarken Songs?
«Die waren in mir drin. Ich musste sie nur noch rauslassen und in
die entsprechenden musikalischen Bahnen lenken. ‹Secrets›
zum Beispiel ist bereits neun Jahre alt. Die anderen brandneu.»
Die Chöre sind toll.
«Danke für das Kompliment. Ich singe alle Backing Vocals selber.»
Du spielst deinen Sex aus.
«Ausspielen? Das würde ich nicht sagen. Ich bin zufrieden
mit mir selber. Deshalb glaube ich, dass mein Sex natürlich
rüberkommt. Ich benütze Sexualität nicht bewusst. Ich
bin mit meinem Frausein zufrieden. Auch mit mir selber als Person und
mit meiner Sexualität. Das Nackt-Foto von mir von hinten mit dem
Tattoo: Es hat mich viel Überwindung gekostet, mich so
auszustellen. Ich bin nämlich sehr schüchtern. Zumindest war
ich das zu Beginn meiner Karriere. Mittlerweile holen Fotografen mehr
von meiner Weiblichkeit aus mir heraus. Ich lerne mich eben immer
besser kennen.»
Bist du in festen Händen?
«Nein, ich bin Single. Verliebt bin ich in meine musikalische
Karriere. Ich gehe nicht aus. Ich halte nicht nach Männern
Ausschau. Gehe nicht an Partys. Jetzt brauche ich keine Beziehung.
Irgendwann möchte ich heiraten und Mutter werden. Aber eher so
spät wie Madonna.»
Die Single «Boom» erscheint im Mai 2002 zur Fussball-WM. Am
1. Dezember singt Anastacia die Hymne bei der Gruppenauslosung zur WM
in Seoul erstmals öffentlich.

HOW COME THE WORLD WON'T STOP
hmmm
somebody told me
you were not coming home
the words are spinnin' in time
and the air suddenly went cold
the sun is still shining
but everything feels like rain, oh
and if I had one wish
it would be to see you again
nothing's fair
when we loose
without a moment to say goodbye
how come the world won't stop spinning
now that you're gone (now that you're gone)
I know every end has beginnings
but this one's all wrong (this one's all wrong)
so wrong, so wrong
caught in the middle
wrong place, wrong time
and I'm hopelessly missing you
and I can't stop deny
nothing's fair anymore
and I know there's a better place
and I'll never stop dreaming of you
ooooh
how come the world won't stop spinning
(now that you're gone) now that you're gone
I know every end has beginnings
but this one's all wrong (this one's all wrong)
so wrong, so wrong
how can the seasons keep changing
since you disappeared
oh yeah
(tell me) how come the world won't stop
how come the world won't stop
sweet tears are shed
this pain we lay to rest
it's hard lettin' go
but I keep movin' on
in a place I don't belong
how come the world (stop spinning)
said now that you're gone
I know every end has beginning
said this one's all wrong
said this one's all wrong
(how can the seasons) keep changing
since you disappeared

little child
secrets I kept inside me
noone can understand
secrets I had to hide
'cause noone would hold my hand when
secrets for me to know
and never for you to see
secrets for only me
