One of the most popular artists of the past decade is headed to the Southeast Texas.

Other popular songs include “When I See You,” “Bittersweet” and “Free Yourself.”

Fantasia’s most recent studio album, “Side Effects of You,” her fourth record, was released in April 2013. It reached No. 1 on the Billoard R&B Albums chart and No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart.
