Former American Idol Fantasia (Barrino) seemingly took her own advice from her smash hit "Free Yourself." The singer completely unleashes the wild woman we all knew was within her for a very un-Idol type set that sees her talking about curvaceous women, rough neck men and (oh my) sex.

The self-titled set is aptly named as it truly reflects the gutsy "sanger" (this lady can blow) with excellent cuts like round-the-way-boy ode "Hood Boy" feat. Big Boi, and "real women have curves" anthem "Babymaking Hips."

The saucy attitude continues with the soulful get-to-work-in-the-bedroom track "I Nominate You," and the sneak-up-on-you strength of "Bore Me (Yawn)" where she tells her man that his games are trifling.

A superb mix of mellow, mid-tempo, bangers and anthem material makes Fantasia one of the best album bets for the year.
