Not That Kind (25th Anniversary)

Not That Kind is the debut studio album by American singer Anastacia. It was released on June 16, 2000, by Epic Records and Daylight Records. The album brought together multiple established pop, R&B, and adult contemporary production teams, including Ric Wake, Carl Sturken, Evan Rogers, Sam Watters and Louis Biancaniello, with Anastacia also contributing to songwriting, resulting in a stylistically varied album that emphasised her distinctive, gritty vocal delivery while maintaining a cohesive pop-oriented sound despite being recorded across multiple sessions and producers. The album received mixed reviews, with critics praising Anastacia's expressive and powerful vocals, while some criticised the album's songwriting as inconsistent and overly reliant on familiar pop formulas. Despite these reservations, Not That Kind became one of the year's biggest debuts and a major international commercial success, reaching the top two and top five of the majority of the countries in Europe and Oceania, including Australia, Germany and the UK, also topping the charts in New Zealand and Norway. It ultimately sold over five million copies worldwide.
