http://youknowigotsoul.com/interview-fantasia-breaks-down-new-album-talks-rock-soul-movement-and-emotion-in-her-music With all of the media attention that has been paid over the past few years to Fantasia's personal life, we sometimes forgot not only how talented an artist she is, but also that she's one of the best voices we have in r&b. In fact, it's exciting to see how she's channeled all of her energy and emotion and focused it on her new "Rock-Soul" movement. That genre is the sound of her new album "The Side Effects of You", which we're already touting as her best album to date and an album of the year contender. The fact is, Fantasia embodies exactly what a soul singer should be all about; one who when she sings, you can feel the emotion in your heart. She could have faltered with all of the negativity swirling in the media, but instead went and put out a timeless album that solidifies her place at the front line of r&b. YouKnowIGotSoul sat down with her while she was in NYC for the release of her album and discussed what led her to the "Rock-Soul" sound, deciding to have Harmony produce the whole album, growing more comfortable with her voice, her musical family, and much more.
