Fantasia

Just weeks before the new year, Fantasia surprises her fans and drops her new single “Lose to Win.” No stranger to relationship drama, the “American Idol” champ gets real on the mid-tempo R&B number.

“Have you ever needed someone so bad?/ But he ain’t willing to make it last/ Sometimes you gotta lose to win again,” sings the soulful songstress on the empowering anthem, which will be available on iTunes on January 8.

Fantasia is currently in the studio readying the follow-up to her 2010 album Back to Me. Get a taste of Tasia’s new music below.
