Raised in a musical family Anastacia first developed a career as a dancer, appearing in video clips and on MTV shows. Her debut albumNot That Kindwas released in 2000 and immediately struck a nerve in Europe, Asia and Australia, before hitting it big in the US. Her striking looks and most of all her remarkable vocals had her searing up the charts, helped by hit singles such as Im Outta Love, Cowboys Kisses and the title song. Teaming up with some of the most successful songwriters of the time, her expressive alto voice had that rough edge needed for an identity of her own in blasting Pop/Rock/Soul tracks that did well both at home and on the dance floor. Influenced more by Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner than contemporaries Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera she appealed to an adult crowd, eventually turning her into the Worlds Best Selling New Female Pop Artist at the 2001 World Music Awards. Available as a limited 20th anniversary edition of 2000 numbered copies on translucent pink vinyl.
