"Anastacia is back. And since she's never been a woman to do things by halves, when she talks about a fresh start, you can be sure she's going all the way. New look, new sound, new label, new management, newly wed - but the same powerhouse of a voice that has already sold more than 17 million albums in Europe and Australia alone.
There was a time when she thought the power and range of her voice might be compromised by the treatment (for cancer), but as the songs on 'Heavy Rotation' show, she now has her energy back in full, and that awesome voice on full power. ""My voice feels fine now,"" she confirms. ""But the music feels different to the Anastacia album. This album is more soulful. I feel more in touch with my inner self, my inner soul. I feel like I've come out of the other side of it all now, and found real peace. I've realised that life doesn't have to be controlled by me, in every way. And it's been fun, letting go, realising I don't have to be such a perfectionist.""
As ever, Anastacia has worked with an A-list team for the fields of R&B and pop. The album's title track was penned by Grammy award-winning songwriter Rodney Jerkins, and Robbie Williams' old writing partner Guy Chambers worked with Anastacia on several tracks. Def Jam artist and talented writer-producer Ne-Yo contributed two tracks ('I Can Feel You' which he co-wrote with Chuck Harmony, and 'Never Gonna Love Again' which he produced himself). She also worked with producers Lester Mendez (Shakira, Nelly Furtado, Dido); JR Rotem (Rihanna, Lil Kim, Leona Lewis); and The Heavyweights (Missy Elliot, PussyCat Dolls).
