It's a Man's World, released in 2012, is Anastacia's fifth studio album. It is a collection of 10 cover songs sung by male rock artists. The songs include covers of The Foo Fighters' "Best of You", Guns N' Roses' "Sweet Child o' Mine", Oasis' "Wonderwall", and Aerosmith's "Dream On". The physical CD was only released overseas, so you'll have to pay for an import if you want the actual CD. The album can be streamed in the US and includes a bonus track where she covers Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun". The CD liner includes the lyrics and production notes for each track, a few pictures of Anastacia, and a "Thank You" page. Anastacia does a great job covering all the songs on the album. She stays true to the original tracks and does not heavily adapt their arrangements. That said, she incorporates her own sound and style into each one so they are not just carbon copies of the original songs. Ultimately, if you are a fan of her prior albums, especially the more rock-oriented tracks on her prior albums, this is absolutely worth checking out.
