Fantasia

Summertime

Ashburn

Fantasia Barrino may have won the third season of American Idol with "I Believe" (2004), an eventual number one pop hit, but it was a passionate take on <a href="spotify:artist:1YuknfkSYTTbolRpwZBOv4">George Gershwin</a>'s "Summertime" that effectively launched the powerhouse singer's career weeks earlier. Confident to a degree that she could have been considered brash, Barrino at first glance seemed an unlikely candidate to take the teen-oriented show's title, but with her dynamic, gospel-rooted voice that never failed her, she became the favorite of the Idol judges and of the voting public. Through the RIAA-certified albums Free Yourself (2004) and Fantasia (2006), the singer affirmed that she was more than simply the winner of a talent competition, and it wasn't long before she reached a higher level of acclaim by winning a Grammy award for "Bittersweet" (Best Female R&B Vocal Performance, 2010). Barrino remained an old-school soul stalwart throughout the next decade with her third, fourth, and fifth Top Ten pop LPs, including The Definition Of... (2016), and her sixth proper album, Sketchbook (2019).

Born and raised in High Point, North Carolina, Barrino -- a niece of <a href="spotify:artist:17vNzODpdt1a6PnOplSaUb">the Barrino Brothers</a> and a cousin of brothers <a href="spotify:artist:4cynDosMoBQcVD9UKLq8eX">K-Ci</a> and Jojo Hailey -- fell in love with music through a mix of artists including <a href="spotify:artist:7nwUJBm0HE4ZxD3f5cy5ok">Aretha Franklin</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:05oH07COxkXKIMt6mIPRee">Brandy</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:1KCSPY1glIKqW2TotWuXOR">P!nk</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:7Ey4PD4MYsKc5I2dolUwbH">Aerosmith</a>. Being a 19-year-old single mother and an Idol finalist had some of the media mumbling and sneering, but the always-certain Barrino paid no mind. Becoming a teenage mother focused Barrino and gave her the strength and drive to audition for the show in Atlanta. Out of 70,000 hopefuls, Barrino earned her way to the top by adjusting her style to whatever genre was thrown at her. Upon beating runner-up <a href="spotify:artist:59eUYRRUA8EnmFBgR5kl33">Diana DeGarmo</a>, Barrino's first words as American Idol 2004 were "I broke my shoe!" Numerous appearances on talk shows and a cameo on the television show American Dreams -- playing the role of her beloved <a href="spotify:artist:7nwUJBm0HE4ZxD3f5cy5ok">Aretha Franklin</a> -- followed shortly thereafter. 

Barrino made history when she became the first solo artist ever to reach number one with her first single, "I Believe," an inspirational ballad co-written by Idol alum <a href="spotify:artist:1H3vdMEhZiuSttQjKaRQMj">Tamyra Gray</a>. <a href="spotify:search:label%3A%22J+Records%22">J Records</a> released her full-length debut, Free Yourself, in November 2004. Also featuring two Top Five R&B/Hip-Hop hits, it went platinum, and its lead single won a Billboard Music Award for Top Selling Single of the Year. Barrino was also nominated for three Grammy Awards. A year later, her autobiography, Life Is Not a Fairy Tale, appeared and was turned into a film directed by Debbie Allen; it premiered on the Lifetime cable network in 2006. Her sophomore effort, simply titled Fantasia, landed that December. It debuted at number 19 on the Billboard 200 and eventually went gold. Back to Me, released in August 2010, was led by a pair of Chuck Harmony-produced singles in "I'm Doin' Me" (number 11, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop) and the Grammy-winning "Bittersweet" (number seven, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop). The singer's fourth album, Side Effects of You, was released in April 2013. <a href="spotify:artist:0CKa42Jqrc9fSFbDjePaXP">Big K.R.I.T.</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:3AuMNF8rQAKOzjYppFNAoB">Kelly Rowland</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:2wIVse2owClT7go1WT98tk">Missy Elliott</a> made guest appearances on the set, driven by the <a href="spotify:artist:6twIAGnYuIT1pncMAsXnEm">Commodores</a>-sampling "Lose to Win." In July 2016, following a co-headlining tour with <a href="spotify:artist:2DzRMyWgjuMbYvt5BLbpCo">Anthony Hamilton</a>, Barrino released The Definition Of..., her fourth Top Ten album. A holiday LP, Christmas After Midnight, was out the next year. The singer closed out the decade in September 2019 with Sketchbook, an advancement of her self-termed "rock soul" style. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi

I think Fantasia is getting more beautiful every day. She looks extremely happy God bless her and her family. Happiness is everything!!!🙏

This reminds me of the 80s when videos and songs were done right. This is a beautiful  love song.

I bet those baby daddies of hers wished they would have treated her right. Fantasia loved both of them on different journeys and both treated her bad. I’m so proud of her

That hook is mesmerizing!!!!!  It&#39;s got a Tamia &quot;You put a move on my heart&quot; vibe.

This song got me through living in a State alone with my 1yr old daughter after my husband of 13yrs left me. Everyone needs Inspiration. I listened to this every morning taking my baby to daycare. I enrolled myself in school to become a Certified Paralegal. My husband said that I could never anything more than what I was. Whoever wrote this song is a gifted writer. Fantasia si a blessed Artist. I thank them both because This Angel Has Learned how to Fly! <a href="http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%23blessings">#Blessings</a>

(Verse 1)
I been looking for hope
Been looking for strength
Been looking for someone I can always call my friend
Guess I’ve been looking for you (hmmm)
I’ve been looking for peace
Been looking for love
Been looking for a rock that I can always lean on

‘Cause I’ve been looking for you (yeah, yeah)
Guess I’ve been looking for you

I’ve been looking for joy
Been looking for joy

Guess I’ve been looking for you
Guess I’ve been looking for you

I wondered just to find the means to call home
Woah, just to find you’ve been there all along (all along)
Guess I’ve been looking for you

Guess I’ve been looking for you

Lyrics:

You gotta put it down (yup, yup) 
You gotta put it down (yup)

I just can’t be with anybody 
Captain (yup)
Wish I could just pick up the phone (you know I can do that)
Your number’s blocked so it’s set in stone (mm so no I won’t call back)

Baby save all that weak shit for your mama 
Baby save all that weak shit for your boss at work
Had one job couldn’t do it you fumbled (you got it baby)
But you was talking like you was gon’ beat something up (ooh no)

I gave it to you 
But you messed it up
Wasn’t good enough 
One thing I won’t do is be with anyone 
Cause I’m not for everyone

I can’t let you give me PTSD (PTSD)
I can’t let you give me PTSD (PTSD)
I can’t let you give me PTSD 
I can’t let you give me PTSD (PTSD)
I can’t let you give me 

Save all that weak shit for your mama (oh for your mama, for your mama)
(I can’t let you give me)
Baby say all that with the shit for your boss at work (at work, at work)
(I can’t let you give me)
Had one job couldn’t do it you fumbled (fizzle fizzle fizzle)
I can’t let you give me PTSD 
I can’t let you give me PTSD 
I can’t let you give me

Post-traumatic sex disorder (oh no, no) (you gotta put it down) (yeah)
Post-traumatic sex disorder (order)
Post traumatic (you gotta throw it down)

T-Pain
Boop yeah
You’re all I think about in bed (you not even here right now) oh
Just naked them boobs, them thighs them lips that head (ooh especially the head, especially the head)
Good god all mighty great googly moogly (yeah)
She gon’ bring two for me (yeah)
Girl what you do to me (yeah)
I lay the meat like charcuterie 
Flash back, bottles late night in the hatchback (yeah)
Shawty from the 80’s tryna bring crack back
She want me to kill that thing and imma smash that (yeah)
She really tryna end up a hashtag

Oh no no no (no no no)  
I won’t take it slow (slow)
You gon’ remember this so lay on the floor 
Cause I don’t want your neighbors to hear this shit
This gon’ a win win win 
Put it on this twin twin twin
You know what I do, give me round two, I can’t let you...

I can’t let you give me PTSD 
I can’t let you give me PTSD 
I can’t let you give me PTSD (I can’t let you give it to me) 
I can’t let you give me PTSD (oh no)
I can’t let you give me

Save all that weak shit for your mamas (save all that weak shit for your mama)
(I can’t let you give me)
Save all that weak shit for your boss at work
(I can’t let you give me)
Had one job couldn’t do it you fumbled 
I can’t let you give me PTSD 
I can’t let you give me PTSD 
I can’t let you give me

Lyrics:
Yeah
Let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost, Oh yea)
Let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost (Holy Ghost, Oh yea)

Let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost
That’s what you feel when I hit every note
See I had it since I was very small 
See there’s no way I could ignore the call 

On an assignment got a heavy load
No, it ain't easy walking down this road 
I got a story that’s what I've been told
Mama said “Pretty girl, you’re good as gold” 

See let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
That's what you're feeling if you didn't know (If you didn't know)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
Just like the Holy Ghost 
The Holy Ghost 
Just like the Holy Ghost 
The Holy Ghost 

It got a way of making feel (Free, free, free) 
Free from the worry that try to haunt me at night 
Free from depression, ain’t taking over my mind 
If I go astray, it get me right back in line (back in line, won't lose time)

I don't ever gotta fight my own battles (Nah, nah)
Tell him what I need and he gonna go to war (For me) 
I know that he’s got something in store for me 

See let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
That's what you're feeling if you didn't know (If you didn't know)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)

See let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
That's what you're feeling if you didn't know (If you didn't know)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)

Watch me step through ain’t no tiptoe walking over here
See every day I got to go get it
Weapons may form but please tell me who should I fear
See now about to really make ‘em feel it   

The evil of man has come to light
The things we do for money and ice
The price of a soul
A couple views and some likes 
Kids killing kids just for some stripes 

See let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost (Let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
That's what you're feeling if you didn't know (If you didn't know)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)

See let me tell ya about the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
That's what you're feeling if you didn't know (I got it, I got it)
I got the power of the Holy Ghost (Holy, Holy Ghost)
Just like the Holy Ghost 
The Holy Ghost 
Just like the Holy Ghost 
The Holy Ghost

Fantasia - Holy Ghost (Official Audio)

Man, what an amazing experience it was talking about Let’s Dance at our company retreat in October of 2022 and here we are, a year later with a completed record with my big bro, Ricco Barrino. The making of the video was a long day but nothing less than amazing. We had good energy, on great grounds at Tyler Perry Studios, on Juneteenth!! We had phenomenal talent on set including Rickey Smiley, Jazze Pha, Lil Duval, ShaySlay and the pretty poodles of Sigma Gamma Rho (Eyyyyyyyiiiippppp). When I heard the song, I immediately told Ricco, we must do something with this. It’s that feel good song anyone will want to listen too. I see this being played at all the house parties, family reunions, etc. LET’S DANCE!!!

"Let's Dance" – Ricco Barrino Featuring Fantasia (Official Music Video)

Rest well my Queen and know that we will never forget you.

Christmas After Midnight is Grammy-Award winning and platinum-selling artist Fantasia’s first-ever holiday album. The 12-track album was produced by Ron Fair and includes some of Fantasia's favorite holiday songs including "This Christmas," "Silent Night," "Santa Claus Go Straight to the Ghetto," "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" and "Baby, It's Cold Outside". Recorded live in Los Angeles' iconic Capitol Studios and Nashville's famed Blackbird Studios, Christmas After Midnight is an inspiring and merry blend of rock, soul, jazz, funk and blues that will send holiday spirits soaring.  
 
"This album pays homage to my grandmother and is a gift from me to all of those who remember their grandparents or parents putting up Christmas trees and being a blessing into people's lives," says Fantasia.  "I'd also like to pay homage to the great singers like Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra and Ray Charles who stood strong in what they believed in - the music. I hope that it blesses you guys. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year."
