Not That Kind

In 1998, Anastacia was unemployed after being fired from a Los Angeles beauty salon for "being too loud."{{Cite web |date=April 14, 2019|title=Anastacia |url=https://www.thehistoryofworldmusic.com/anastacia/ |access-date=October 5, 2023|website=The History of World Music |language=en-US}} Disappointed after years of bad luck in the music industry, she was considering switching to a career in child psychology, when Lisa Braude, who later became her manager, encouraged her to join the MTV talent show The Cut (1998), hosted by rapper Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes. Anastacia made her way to be one of the ten finalists, performing her own composition entitled "Not That Kind". While the season was won by male-female rap duo Silk-E, Anastacia attracted the interest of record labels after appearing on the shows, having impressed singers Elton John and Michael Jackson as well as the show's judges David Foster and Faith Evans. In March 1999, she signed a contract with Daylight Records, a custom label of Sony Music Entertainment's Epic Records and began work on her debut album.{{cite web|last=Barrell|first=Tony|title=The trials of Anastacia|url=http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/style/article152070.ece|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140527214653/http://www.thesundaytimes.co.uk/sto/style/article152070.ece|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 27, 2014|work=The Sunday Times|access-date=October 5, 2023|date=October 23, 2005}} {{subscription required|s}}

Tricia Boey from MTV Asia praised Anastacia for her voice which she described as "a blue-eyed-soul version of Tina Turner or Chaka Khan" but felt the material on Not That Kind was "unworthy of it". She called it a "collection of songs that relies on tried and tested pop tactics. But hey, this kind of material is fashionable these days and so this disc may very likely go on to sell billions of records. Too bad they couldn't have matched that stunning voice to more interesting material." Similarly, Russell Baillie from The New Zealand Herald wrote: "While her accompanying multi-producer debut is quite a showcase for the white New Yorker's [...] black, soul-scorch of a voice, it's not anything special in the song department. It doesn't lack for variety, though, managing almost-earthy retro soul-funk, a big rock ballad, too much overblown diva stuff and points in between. No doubt it will prove quite the career-starter, but musically it shows that maybe Mariah divided by Macy doesn't necessarily go."

AllMusic editor William Ruhlmann rated the album four out of five stars. He noted that "Macy Gray demonstrated that a broad audience may respond to an older style if the singer herself is distinguished enough. Anastacia doesn't have the kind of unique timbre that Gray does – in fact, the minute she opens her mouth she starts reminding you of other singers, especially Aretha Franklin – but she is clearly a big talent, and that should count for something." Chris Lorraine, writing for Blender, found that "Anastacia's understated vocals give even the clichés of "Black Roses" some plain-spoken credibility. Her throaty voice evokes the anonymous disco-inflected divas of the late '70s, particularly on the Chic-ish "I'm Outta Love." But if Anastacia's alto should prove too conventional for megastardom, her debut suggests there are many more syllables yet to be sung.
