Fantasia

After wowing celebrity judges and TV audiences alike, American Idol 3 champion Fantasia Barrio unleashes her highly anticipated debut solo album. Free Yourself showcases her strong and soulful vocalism, with thirteen tracks that run the gamut between club jams, teary ballads and classic covers. Producers include Missy Elliott and Jermaine Dupri.

Like all other American Idol albums, the debut from Season Three winner Fantasia Barrino
leaves too much room for the pyrotechnics that constitute vocal talent on the show. But
Barrino has gotten crucial help from a cavalcade of top urban songwriters and producers.
The result is solid, up-to-date R&B that puts some sexy bounce into its soccer-mom pop and
bookends a cover of "Summertime" with a Missy Elliott jam.
