Earlier in the year chart news had it in the low 470sK wonder if the label will ever certify it gold?

I think she would sound amazing doing rock influenced songs. She takes so long between albums now. I'm ready.

I liked her first two albums. The last one kind of bored me though.

Didn't she work with Raphael Saadiq on her last album? I think that sound is great for her.

This album will be "Rock Soul" :o :o :o :o "It's been 10 years for me".... what ? she won Idol in 2004, before which she did not have a career to the best of my knowledge. Anyways, I have always been a fan of Fantasia and her voice. After watching this video, I am quite intrigued about her upcoming project !

She had recorded gospel music with her family. But it's 9 years since she auditioned for Idol, so what's the big deal? Close enough.

I do not know about this. It has to be done really well for her to pull off. She cannot deviate too far from her original sound because she would alienate too much of her fan base which would not be good. I can definitely see it working only if the writers and producers are able to elevate it to the sophisticated level that it needs to be. I do not want to hear a cheap, knock-off 21st century Tina Turner sound.

Most of her fanbase is still rocking with her since Idol and she has done a lot of rock/pop/country influenced songs on her tours by Tina, Prince, Elvis, and Aerosmith.

I know she's been through alot with Brian and she won't let him go as manager but I feel that she needs somebody else to come in and co manage this era.

I loved her performance of "Don't Play That Song" on the Soul Train Awards. I love watching her perform. She's from another era.

YouKnowIGotSoul: Another project that you’re heavily involved with is the Fantasia album. What’s the approach for that project and what has it been like working with her?
Harmony Samuels: Fantasia has a big history. She came off American Idol and had a number one album. Then she had a few issues in her personal life that the media took hold of and it was kind of heavy for her. When she came to us, she was kind of in a place. She really wanted to make an impact because she felt this was her chance to tell her side of the story. The one thing I said to her was that we were going to change the way she came across. She’s such a normal star. She’s such a beautiful woman and has so much to give when it comes to love and music. She’s also so talented, her voice is phenomenal. She was like “I love Tina Turner and Gladys Knight” so we were like “Why don’t we make you a modern day Tina Turner/Gladys Knight?” So what we did was we took her away from her typical Urban audience and we gave her a bit of an open sound. When I say that the chemistry between us is incredible, it’s like we had half of the album done before she came in. She came in the studio and I was playing for her songs and she was like “You’re pretty much telling me my life!” Songs were just perfect for her and she was like “These songs have just been sitting here?” and I was like “Yeah they have.” She cut like six songs in like seven days and then she came back again and we did another six songs in ten days. The label was like “You might as well finish the album.” When I say that it’s eclectically different from anything she’s done, it’s Pop but it’s Urban and it’s left. She’s got a little bit for everybody and I think it’s going to be one of her biggest albums sonically. I think it’s going to be a very big album sonically for her. I’m so proud of the work because she worked hard. She’s not a diva, she doesn’t come into the studio and go crazy like the media may put out. She’s a sweetheart, she loves her kids and she works so hard. She cuts these songs in like two hours. She’ll come in the studio and cut a whole song with background and leads in two hours flat and act like it never happened. Even on a day when she’s not in a good mood because she’s had moments where she hasn’t been in a good place, she’ll cut them in like two or three hours and be done with it. She’s a complete genius. She’s vulnerable, she’s very vulnerable. One of the things I loved about what we did with this album is that we told the truth. We didn’t hide anything. She has a song where she’s telling a dude “Without me, where would you be?” She has a song that’s like “Two days have gone by, I haven’t cried yet. I pray this means I’m over you.” It’s really open and vulnerable. I think a lot of women are going to love her because of her honesty. I feel a lot of women are going to be able to find healing from her story.
YouKnowIGotSoul: Since we haven’t heard from Fantasia in a minute, what song in particular would you want the fans to hear first as the lead single? Would you want it to be up-tempo or a ballad?
Harmony Samuels: Well, it depends. Right now she has different audiences. She has an Urban audience and a Pop audience. What we’re trying to find is the one that sits in the middle where both sides can enjoy it. It’s probably going to be mid-tempo. There’s two or three records that they’re looking at. We have a collaboration record that’s subject to be a very big record. It’s with two female artists who I can’t disclose yet because they have to confirm everything, but the collaboration will be big. It hasn’t been done since “The Boy Is Mine” by Brandy and Monica. It’s going to be incredible when it’s completed. It could go either way, it’s in the early stages. The album is in mix stage right now and it’s subject to be dropping definitely the first quarter. She should be dropping a single anytime soon. To be honest with you, for a new producer like me, I did every joint on the album but maybe two. I did ten out of the twelve songs on the album.

I hope she releases pop friendly songs so she can have more commercial success. She was the reason why I got hooked to Idol. I'm still jamming to her coronation single.

Truth Is and When I See U are her biggest crossover hits and they both were minor hits. I know the idea of making her more pop-friendly means they want her to sell more albums but I'm interested in what those "Pop" records are gonna sound like, especially since Harmony's sound is clearly Urban. If he's given her some F.A.M.E.-type records,

When I think of him, all I really know is Without You from Brandy. To me, that's like an AC/urban sound (not typical Urban AC, but more pop AC with urban undertones). I'm excited for this, as long as it's diverse and utilizes the dynamics of her voice.
