Editorial Review:
Import-only limited edition Sony/BMG 'Gold Award' pressing of this album comes in unique packaging, which contains artwork that resembles a Gold Record Award presentation plaque. Features all the same great tracks found on the original release including 'Not That Kind', 'Cowboys & Kisses', 'Made For Lovin' You' and more. 2006.
Description of Not That Kind:
After early support from Elton John and success across the UK and much of Europe, Anastacia's debut album gets a U.S. relaunch with one additional track. More Chaka Khan than Mariah Carey, the Chicago-born Anastacia brings both a powerful voice and a sense of restraint to these performances. There's no doubt that this is a grown woman, not another teenager copying Britney Spears' attempts to conjure Janet Jackson. All that said, something unconvincing lurks in Not That Kind. The singer (and co-writer of most of these songs) has obviously done her homework on '70s soul music; "Don'tcha Wanna" owes enough to Stevie Wonder's "I Believe (When I Fall in Love It Will Be Forever)" to occasion a co-writing credit to the maestro. It's simply that she relies too much on mannerism to fully give herself to the material. She sounds at home enough within these modernized pastiches of everything from late Atlantic-period Aretha to Donna Summer, but never really socks one home the way a complete original like Macy Gray would. In turn, that failure makes the attitudinizing of "Yo Trippin'" and "Why'd You Lie to Me" fall flat. --Rickey Wright
Not That Kind Reviews:
What can I say? 
2009-03-31 - Talent,talent,talent....About time someone came out with something with something good and refreshing....thank you Anastacia...muah kisses...
It's about time for a good pop diva! 
2008-08-28 - Where have all the divas gone? I bought this album on the recommendation of Amazon customers (thanks, everyone), since I'm always looking for good music. Especially since this is a female vocalist, it caught my eye.
Anastacia rocks! She can belt like the divas of old (the 20th Century). She has attitude, and sings songs that you can really listen to and relate to. I gave a lower rating because I feel like it came across as just a touch commercial. But maybe that will help her to extend into the mainstream. I'm looking forward to hearing more from this singer.
Hot!
2008-04-27 - Anastacia is one hot diva! With a soulful, distinct voice, she is a powerhouse who has enjoyed amazing success overseas with limited success in the US, mostly due to having released very little to the North American market. This CD is not available at stores in the US - it was only released across the pond. But, it's a buy well worth it!
Best Choice
2007-01-10 - Fast delivery and perfect conditions. Happy with my new album of Anastacia. Thanks!
Forgotten Gem
2006-04-16 - Anastacia's first album from 2000, kind of a forgotten gem. It sold well in Europe just like her upcoming 2 albums but in America it was never promoted and neither was her other albums, which is a shame, afterall she's from New York and naturally USA would be the first country for her to sell albums in, no?. Anastaica is defenitely not the average singer. She's Pretty, She got a great charachter, and an absolutely incredibly soulful voice and on top of that she always records great songs. Why she wasn't launched in US is beyond me. Her debut album is more soulful then her other albums, but it perfetly suits her voice and stands just as strong as the others. "I'm Outta Love" the uptempo soul hit-single is good proof on that, but also the title track "Not That Kind" that feautures gospel choirs, and ditto with the semi-ballad "Cowboys and Kisses" that isn't country music per se. "Why Did You Lie To Me" that doesn't appear on some copies is more pop-rock and was also a hit in Europe and one of her best singles. "I Ask For You" a great ballad that shows her other sides and the Diane Warrren penned "Late Last Night" is adult contemporary romance, "Made For Lovin You" sound alot like "Outta Love", uptempo soul with edgy funk bass, melancholy "Black Roses" is a good semi-ballad that groves on you. Other then that there is plenty of soul/ballads/pop and rock on this album and in the end it's an excellent album that imediatly proves her potential and diversity. Even though it only yielded four singles, there could have been more cause the album is rich of gems, I think however that the other 2 albums are slightly better, but this also stands strong. Never to late to discover her. Recommended
