| | Fantasia by Fantasia Barrino - Music Review |
 | | On FANTASIA, Fantasia Barrino offers a selection of songs that address strong feelings by illustrating vivid snippets in time. |
 | | Fantasia's direct, lighthearted gaze also lingers on love and heartbreak, sexual politics, and her type of guy ("Hood Boy," a duet with Big Boi, uses the phrase "wifebeaters and chains" to describe a fashion statement, not behavior) with attitude and clever, honest charm. |
 | | As on her debut album, Free Yourself, Fantasia's remarkable voice, supported by terrific rhythm tracks and perfectionist production standards, is the real star of the show. |
