Fantasia’s next record is reportedly due this year, but aside from the snippets of new songs we’ve heard on her reality TV show “Fantasia For Real”, the only song we’ve heard is “Even Angels” which didn’t stick to my ribs at all. 4 new songs, “On and On”, “Never”, “Control Freak” and “Bounce Back” have hit the net, and while they are decent, they are a bit unmemorable if you ask me. What do ya’ll think? I’m still waiting for “Move On Me”. Hit the links to listen & download:

“On and On” – This is a nice pleasant song, and the background vocals are nice, but it’s definitely filler.

“Never” – This piano driven uptempo track is a bit wordy at times and it’s hard to lock into it on first listen, but Fantasia tries to rock out a bit with the guitars. Not sure if it works here though. I feel as if the track is competing with her vocals on the hook especially. It’s busy!

“Control Freak” – I can’t even take Fantasia seriously with this slowed down, sexytime bedroom “I’m a freak” songs. ROFL, especially when one of the first things she says is “Let me put on my Victoria Secrets”. Plural? LOL.

“Bounce Back” – Out of the four, this one is the most different yet familiar for Fantasia. I love the sassy feel of the song, the breaks in the track, the rhythm, etc. It sounds like a Rock City track, guessing. The horns and all work. The hook could be a little stronger, but I like this joint. Vocals sound a little unfinished as well, but this sounds like a step above filler.
