Erm... Actually, this is her third album in four years' time. Not to mention the fact that she had to deal with a form of cancer along the way as well, so I'm not even surprised by the hiatus she took between the release of her second and third album. A hiatus in no way longer than what most Top 40 artists take nowadays, in fact.
But what I'm referring to, are there any documents or announcements in which Anastacia or her management made any of the claims you're referring to, that they'd concluded that her career was somehow "ruined"? Or are you simply taking conclusions yourself now, based on personal observations or insiders' information we're not familiar with? [img]smile.gif[/img]
Ok Grolj. My apologies. I have my facts wrong.
They were based on information I read a couple of years ago, that detailed the HUGE amounts of downloads of her single "I'm Outta Love" and how that translated into vastly reduced album sales.

They were also based on discussions with a friend and cowriter of mine - LaMenga Kafi - who co-wrote "Paid My Dues" which I believe was a hit in Europe.

As I hadn't heard her second album appear in popular US culture, (and simply got confused as to which album "Paid my dues" was on) I made the (incorrect) assumption that her career had gone down the toilet.

I am glad that I am wrong and that a woman in possession of such an astounding voice is still making music. Of course wiping egg off my face is never enjoyable, so for that I'm not so pleased.
