US Billboard Review for LOA...

(12/03/2005) Left Outside Alone Producer(s): Dallas Austin, Glenn Ballard Writer(s): Anastacia, G. Ballard, D. Austin Publisher(s): various Genre: POP Label/Catalog Number: Daylight/Columbia 51639 (CD promo) Source: Billboard Magazine Originally Reviewed: March 12, 2005 ~"Among the ever-growing list of superstars that light up the European charts, yet appear too melodic to seduce U.S. radio, Anastacia is near the top. Despite having a stable full of No. 1 singles (including this one) and albums overseas, this mega-talented singer/songwriter is, ironically, a Yankee who can't catch a break on her own side of the pond. Because she capably struts among rock, pop and dance, former label Epic couldn't figure out what to do with her. But fortunately, Anastacia is now with Sony sister Columbia, where there is serious excitement behind giving this siren the attention she deserves. "Left Outside Alone" is a one-listen lightning rod of an anthem: danceable and wholly rock-solid credible. Overseas, she's on her third album; let's hope that it's the charm for the pop-depraved U.S. market. Given the chance, Anastacia is the ultimate mass-appeal artist. Her self-titled album drops June 7.—CT~
