Anastacia: Albums
built 657 days ago
Anastacia is a woman that sings well beyond her years. If you listen to her music, you can't help but think that she is a mature woman trapped in a young girl's body because of that deep, sexy voice of hers. Her new album has been tearing it up on dance floors across the continent although her success hasn't completely crossed over into mainstream yet.

Anastacia is the name of the self-titled third studio album by American pop singer-songwriter Anastacia, released outside the United States in March 2004. The album peaked at the top of the album charts in the United Kingdom, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Greece and Australia, eventually selling roughly 9-10 million copies worldwide.

Raised in New York City, Anastacia came from an entertainment-oriented family: her father was a singer; her mother an actress in musical theater on Broadway. Despite being diagnosed with the chronic intestinal illness Crohn's disease at age 13, she developed a career as a dancer, appearing on Club MTV and in such music videos as Salt-N-Pepa's "Everybody Get Up" and "Twist and Shout." In 1999, she was a finalist on the MTV talent contest show The Cut, which attracted the interest of record labels. She signed to the Daylight custom label of Sony Music's Epic Records and recorded her debut album, Not That Kind, which was released internationally in 2000. The result was massive success: the album reached the Top Ten in eight European and Far East countries, selling over two million copies. At home, the single "I'm Outta Love" became a dance hit, paving the way for the release of a revised version of Not That Kind in the U.S. in March 2001. A year later, she was creating a buzz in America.

Anastacia got her big break after making an appearance on MTV's short-lived talent show, The Cut. She didn't win but she found herself on the phone with newly won fan Michael Jackson, who encouraged her and helped her land a deal with Epic Records. Now, with a second album, Freak of Nature, already certified triple platinum overseas since its release last December and a spot on the latest edition of VH1's Divas show, Anastacia wants to spread her success to her homeland.

Not long after the release of "I Belong to You", Anastacia released her first live DVD Live at Last on March 27, 2006 in Europe. The DVD contains footage from concerts in Berlin and Munich. It includes music videos to her four singles ("Left Outside Alone" [US version], "Everything Burns" [with Ben Moody], "Pieces Of A Dream" and "I Belong to You", with Eros Ramazzotti), five alternative videos (I Do, Rearview, Seasons Change, Underground Army and Time) to songs from her selfnamed album, and a documentary about the tour.
