Ladies-picture this....you're leaving the nail salon or hair salon from just gettin' right. Smelling good & looking good on a nice Summer day and you get in your car that's freshly washed and shining....and you turn the volume to the radio- that currently has Fantasia's new CD Side Effects of You in the disc changer, ALL THE WAY UP and put it on track 5. What's track 5 you ask? It's this sexy song titled, "Without Me," off the new album that features Kelly Rowland and Missy Elliott and was produced by Harmony David Samuels, the London born producer, composer and writer.
Along with the two other hit producers that Fantasia has worked with in the past, A. Lambert and Kyle Stewart. In a recent radio interview, Fantasia stated that she wanted to take it back to the time in music where the artist worked exclusively with one set of producers instead of switching up with each song. This is exactly what she did with this album, soon to be released on April 23rd. Throughout the credits you will see these producers on each song and if it's anything like what we've already heard with her current single, "Lose to Win" and this song, "Without Me," then we are definitely in for a treat.
The song starts out with a feel and a sound that ironically enough, has a similar feel to Kelly Rowland (who's featured on this song) smash hit, "Motivation." Then Fantasia's vocals enter with these lyrics....
"you really gon' make me expose you for exactly what you are/and I’m feeling a little WAVY- so right now I don’t mind pulling your card/and as hard as you try to hide reality while we know the truth/so act brand-new if you want to---(Hook)...but what would you be without me/ where would you be without me/so what you blowing up just a little/they knowing you a little/don’t give a finger in the middle/cause (Lil' n--ga) you would never be."
YESSS! That's the tone of the song and of course Kelly and Missy make it that much better. We all know what Fantasia has endured with her last relationship and maybe this single is her release through song and her way of saying...I gave you you're moment to shine and no one would even know you're name if it wasn't for me so please don't get it twisted.

I love this song...and no matter the situation- a strong woman will bounce back!! Just like the lyrics say..."you know the truth boy/keep it 100....cause lil n--ga you would never be."
