Check out the new artwork for Fantasia’s “Back to Me’ CD.? The title, inspired by comedian Steve Harvey, represents Tasia’s efforts to get back to her true self. She explains:
Steve Harvey suggested the album title and it describes perfectly where I am in my life right now.
I?ve willingly let the world into my life through my book, the Lifetime television movie, and now the VH1 reality show. Now, it?s time to go back to how things used to be when America first laid their eyes on me on ?American Idol.?
Apparently Fantasia also wants to return to the days before she hit the tatt shop. She got a magical makeover for the cover and the songstress, who was spotted in Atlanta recently rockin a full sleeve of ink, appears tattoo free in the artwork.
I guess photoshop is a lot cheaper than laser surgery…
