Fantasy is a genre of fiction that uses magic or other supernatural elements as a main plot element, theme, or setting. Many works within the genre take place in imaginary worlds where magic and magical creatures are common. Fantasy is generally distinguished from the genres of science fiction and horror by the expectation that it steers clear of scientific and macabre themes, respectively, though there is a great deal of overlap between the three, all of which are subgenres of speculative fiction.
In popular culture, the fantasy genre is predominantly of the medievalist form. In its broadest sense, however, fantasy comprises works by many writers, artists, filmmakers, and musicians, from ancient myths and legends to many recent and popular works.
Fantasy is studied in a number of disciplines including English and other language studies, cultural studies, comparative literature, history, and medieval studies. Work in this area ranges widely, from the structuralist theory of Tzvetan Todorov, which emphasizes the fantastic as a liminal space, to work on the connections (political, historical, literary) between medievalism and popular culture.
Fantasy was a British pulp science fiction magazine which published three issues in 1938 and 1939. The editor was T. Stanhope Sprigg; when the war started, he enlisted in the RAF and the magazine was closed down. The publisher, George Newnes Ltd, paid respectable rates, and as a result Sprigg was able to obtain some good quality material, including stories by John Wyndham, Eric Frank Russell, and John Russell Fearn.
The first U.S. science fiction (sf) magazine, Amazing Stories, was imported into the U.K. from its launch in 1926, and other magazines from the U.S. market were also available in the U.K. from an early date. However, no British sf magazine was launched until 1934, when Pearson's launched Scoops, a weekly in tabloid format aimed at the juvenile market. Soon Haydn Dimmock, Scoops' editor, began to receive more sophisticated stories, targeted at an adult audience; he tried to change the magazine's focus to include more mature fiction but within twenty issues falling sales led Pearson's to kill the magazine. The failure of Scoops gave British publishers the impression that Britain could not support a science fiction publication.
"Fantasy" is the fourth single from Nadia Ali's solo debut album Embers. It was released on April 27, 2010 by Smile in Bed Records.
"Fantasy" is written by Nadia Ali and produced by Ali and the DJ duo Sultan and Ned Shepard. It was chosen as a single from Embers by fans after a poll conducted by Ali on her Facebook page between "Fantasy" and "Point the Finger".
Ali has spoken about "Fantasy" that she always wanted it as a single as she felt the song had really powerful emotions. She mentioned that the track sums her up as how she wants to be recognized "an emotional songwriter who loves being a part of electronic music".
The Morgan Page remix of "Fantasy" went on to be nominated in the Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical category at the 53rd Grammy Awards.
The music video for "Fantasy" was directed by Ryan Littman and Berman Fenelus and filmed at the Tribeca Cinemas in New York in April, 2010. The concept of the video was the transformation and elevation of Ali as the 'Queen of Clubs'. The theme of the video was used to promote Ali's upcoming greatest hits collection,Queen of Clubs Trilogy: The Best of Nadia Ali Remixed.
