Fantasia is happy to be just weeks away from releasing her long awaited third studio album, “Back To Me”.

Admitting that the album stems from over 100 songs that have been recorded over the last three years, Fantasia says “Back To Me” could have been out sooner if she, like other artists, had been allowed to be herself instead of trying to capitalize off what’s hot now.

“There’s been a lot going on. Different management, different accountants, different lawyers–People trying to switch up the sound. Like if something comes out hot they feel that maybe you should come out with some songs like that, songs that are selling right now instead of letting artists be who they are,” Fantasia told Baltimore’s 92Q recently. “You know, that’s what makes us different. When you hear Mary (J. Blige), you know Mary. When you hear Erykah Badu, you know it’s Erykah Badu because they all do their own thing. I just feel like I had so much going on and now I’m back to that young lady that walked on the ‘Idol’ (American Idol) stage.”

As previously reported, Fantasia’s next album, “Back To Me,” is due in stores August 24.
