Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox song

"Absolutely Positively" is a song by American singer Anastacia. It was written by Ne-Yo and Chuck Harmony and produced by the latter for her fourth studio album, Heavy Rotation (2008). The song was released by Mercury Records as the album's second single in February 2009, following a confirmation by Anastacia during a performance on This Morning on Monday, November 3, 2008. "Absolutely Positively" was released to European radio on November 7, 2008.

Background

"Absolutely Positively" was written by American R&B singer Ne-Yo and commissioned after her record company had suggested a more "urban dance" sound for her fourth studio album, Heavy Rotation.[1] Commenting on his contribution, Anastacia elaborated in 2009: "I was so grateful that he knew who I was and then the fact that he wrote two songs."[1] In 2017, Anastacia admitted in an interview with Attitude that the song "just wasn't my vibe."[2]

Critical reception

Digital Spy editor Alex Fletcher wrote: "Soulful funk of "Absolutely Positively" has "Sound of 2008" stamped all over it."[3] Another critic, Maddy Costa of The Guardian also called it "Stevie Wonder-style soul-funk."[4] Virgin Media editor Ian Gittins praised the vocal performance, where Anastacia is "recalling vocal giants such as Patti Labelle on the playfully Motown-like "Absolutely Positively"."[5]

Music video

A music video for "Absolutely Positively" was filmed in November 2008 and directed by Nigel Dick, who also directed Anastacia's videos for "I'm Outta Love" and "Cowboys & Kisses".[6]
