New York, NY (May 3, 2019) – Fresh off of her performance at this year’s Grammy Awards, platinum selling singer Fantasia just dropped her brand new single, “Enough.” The single is available now via all digital retailers and is featured on Spotify’s New Music Friday, as well as Apple Music’s R&B Hot Tracks. Produced by Jevon Hill for Co-Captain Productions, “Enough” also marks the singer’s new partnership with BMG. To bring the song to life, Fantasia called on her friend Derek Blanks to direct the music video which premiered at midnight on YouTube. “Enough” is just the beginning for Fantasia fans. Last night during a “watch party” with her fans, the singer announced the new album will be called Sketchbook and is coming this fall. Earlier this week, she let fans know the album will see some incredible collaborations with everyone from Meghan Trainor to Jazmine Sullivan to Brandy. She also confirmed a full tour in support of Sketchbook that will keep her on the road through the end of the year.
Fantasia has not slowed down a bit since winning American Idol 15 years ago. The singer has released 6 studio albums including the 2017 release of her first ever holiday album, Christmas After Midnight. Produced by Ron Fair, the 12-track album was recorded live in Los Angeles’ iconic Capitol Studios and received rave reviews from press. Since then she’s been writing non-stop, creating this new record which will be her most personal album to date. She recently returned from the Tom Joyner Cruise, had the highest rated episode of “Uncensored” on TV One, performed on Motown 60 which aired on CBS this past April, and was one of the incredible singers to celebrate Quincy Jones’ 85th anniversary which premiered on BET in December.
