NEW MUSIC FROM ASHANTI!

Tuesday, September 18, 2007

Ashanti - Hey Baby (After the Club)

After “Switch,” the “buzz single” Ashanti put out featuring her boyfriend Nelly was leaked, people in Ashanti’s camp saw it wasn’t as well received as they thought it would be. Even though the song had potential, they immediately withdrew and waited to leak the new sinlge, “Hey Baby (After the Club).” Ashanti’s new single is produced by Mario Winans and 7 Aurelius (who also produced and sang on the buzz single “My Number, Babe”). Although I’m a lot more pleased with this song because of the sampling, I am a little worried about how this will sound on radio. It’s not ground-breaking or so left-field that people can’t get into it, it’s just a little different than what we’re hearing right nw on the radio.

Ashanti’s new song is taken from her album, Declaration which is set to be released December 4. We’ll see what else Ashanti’s got in her bag of tricks. She’s still signed to The Inc., and she’s one of their most successful artists. So let’s not hope that after the whole airing out with Irv Gotti on Wendy Williams (find out more here) will put a damper on the release of this project.

That song was soo wack. Not catchy at all. It really sucked.

@ 4, that’s an old picture, like from backfrom in the “Foolish” era

9.

somebody please shoot ashanti in the throat box

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

why do her songs always have some form of the word “baby” in them? she sucks. she can’t sing. she sucks. song sucks. sounds like puffy’s “last night.” she still sucks.

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Hummm…it uses “club” and “baby”. She’s already got two strikes against her. But I do like the feeling of the song and the beat, so it could be a top 20 hit at best….

12.

I love Ashanti but wtf. Nelly holla at your girl 4 real!

Yeah the same person who produced diddy song produced this too. I guess he used the same bass and took the piano sound out. Yeah she using baby again lol but I like it. Like I really do. And this song and Diddy song sampled Prince song. But its all good. I like Shani.

14.

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

(singing) “Last night, couldn’t even get an answer….” what’s with all the “hey-ing” at the end and someone introduce her to another noun other than baby. SMH. She needs to go work with Timbaland or Ne-Yo to help her get on the right track, b/c this mess is awful. To think, this is the same one that was laughing @ Britney Spears last week. interesting

I heard this song befor it’s better than the last one, but I still don’t think it’s good enough for a comeback.

Lol@#10…
I hate to say it but i haven’t heard it but i already know i wouldn’t like it. Not a fan of Ashanti…Only song i really like by her is “Foolish” and “Baby”. Now “Baby” was my song…. She’s a pretty girl but everything else about her has to go. I would elaborate but i won’t even go there….

24.

whytry?

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

It’s ok & does sound like “Last Night.”

I can dig it…At first I was like sooo she’s back w/ the baby baby baby baby’s lol. I have maad luv for Ashanti & I wish her album well!

27.

thickems

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Ok now. I am speechless. I like the beat but I know she could do better than this. I feel she wants to get back on the stage so bad that she is rushing. I just hope she has more material that is better than this. Maybe if I listen to it sporadically, it may stick. I wish her all the best. Looking forward to see her and Mike Epps Resident Evil: Extinction

ASHANTI YOUR 5 MINUTES ARE DONE! Erase this post please. She doesn’t even need us to RIP this song apart….she knows her new shit sucks. She wants to stay relevant. She better be focused on some other ventures…open up a foundation like Trina to keep the IRS off your back for now. The fourth quarter is soon approaching and she definitely won’t hold up to Mary, Mariah, etc.

29.

That's Wassup

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

@1 lmao that was my exact thought when I heard the first few seconds!

I don’t know what she needs to get it together but this isn’t it.

30.

noliaboi

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

I like it, probably cause I didn’t like Diddy and Keyshia, he can’t really rap and Keyshia sings like she’s out of breath, I think she made it her own. Good job.

31.

KAY

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Please someone save my ears!!! This mess is whack, and why every song on every album gotta have “baby” in it. We’ve had “oh baby”, “ooh baby”, and my personal fav “baby, baby, baby, baby, baby”….Nelly get ya girl a dayum Thesaurus!

32.

LADYBUG

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Okay, I don’t think the song is bad at all. The problem is that it is wayyyyyy to similar to the Diddy/Keisha Cole joint. I mean they are almost identical as far as the beats and singing. They are so similar, I’m surprised this song is even on her upcoming album.

33.

noliaboi

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Trust me if Beyonce B-Day slightly survived and u know it was horrible, Ashanti will manage to as well…

34.

Shantise

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

lol@33 so true.. Because that album was a mess but it sold straight based off her name.

35.

4Real

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

LMAO! I love it, it’s a catchy track, give it a couple more spins & it really grows on you. Go Shani! ^_^

PS - LOL she prolly put the Baby’s in there just to piss the haters off. =P

36.

j. le

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

this song is superr wack. its definitely a rip off of the “last night”….where there any verses on the song? i felt like i heard the chorus/hook over and over and over again.

certified wack.

37.

Y'all are pathetic.

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Damn ya stay hatin on Ashanti. But keep it up, all this hate will keep her in the press and she will have a fourth platinum record.

38.

mrs sands

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Just not feelin the production. Did Mario W. produce the Diddy/Keysh track as well. All too familiar. It took months for me to tolerate the Keysh track and I am not going to be able to listen to this one too!

39.

hey baby

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

I LOVE IT…I but i also liked Switch too.. I think it sounds like Diddy’s but there are alot of differences as well.

40.

Dee-Dee

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

I always knew Ashanti was a terrible singer and performer. This song is not a hit, Ashanti voice is nothing great or hot about it, and I can’t believe people were comparing her to Aaliyah at one time. They were crazy and I still think Ashanti sucks and her album will do nothing. It’s crazy how some artist who have only been around for 5 or less years careers end so quickly.

41.

I agree with #3

Julia

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

She sings pretty good now. She must’ve been working on that. I like this song too!

Sings - Hey baby Tell me what you wann DO.

43.

Whitney

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Who said Aaliyah could sing. People just hyping her up cause she’s dead. She was just like Ciara, a DANCER/singer.

44.

ke-ke23

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Why hate? if you don’t like it then don’t listen to it. I agree, I though i was the only one who thought Keyshia Cole Couldn’t sing. it sounds much better than las nite

45.

4Real

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

It’s funny how people say she’s over, she’s gonna flop, etc when the song JUST leaked yesterday, there have been songs that everyone hated @ first && then it’s in the top 10 before you know it. =)

46.

Have Not Thought of a New User Name

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

I am no Ashanti fan but you gotta admit she fighting hard for a comeback lol. She should probably stop sampling other people stuff and be original but then again when she is original you get stuff like “Switch”.

47.

ASHANTI SUCKS.. IM SO TIRED OF THIS GIRL.. SHE NEEDS TO CHANGE HER IMAGE AND HER STYLE FOR HER TO EVER COME BACK AND SUCCESSFUL.. THIS BEAT ALSO SOUNDS LIKE KEYSHIA COLE’S BEAT WITH PDIDDY.. THIS GIRL NEEDS TO REALLY DO SOMETHING NEW.. IM SO BORED OF HER JUST TYPING HERE GETS ME BORED OF HER.. SHE DEF NEEDS TO STEP HER GAME UP..SHES COMING BACK FACING BEYONCE RIHANNA KEYSHIA COLE AND MUCH MUCH MORE TALENTED PEOPLE..SHE NEEDS TO GET HER GAME AND ACT TOGETHER.

It was produced by 7 Aurelius I believe & also that picture is from the Ashanti era, it was her Foolish single cover. :)

52.

Dee-Dee

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Forgot to mention she is also a terrible actress. I hate when they put some people in movies because of who they are and they had some hits back in the day. I just hope she gets killed early in the movie so I can see real actors at work in Resident Evil: Extinction. Can’t stand bad acting

53.

I THINK SHE NEEDS TO GO BACK TO IRV. HER MUSIC WAS WAY BETTER WHEN SHE WAS SLEEPING WITH A MARRIED MAN……;)

54.

Nothing But Love

Is this supposed to be joke? she should be slapped because this song sucks and WHY does every damn song have to have the word baby in it shes seriously needs to get a vocabulary and to think this is the same fool who was laughing @ Britney at the VMAs well at least Britneys song has got some substance to it.

55.

Krissy

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

AShanti is a GReat Actree, you must have her mistaken with Beyonce, now Bee is cool but she can’t act to save her LIFe

56.

AlwaysALady

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Oh and lets not pretend this song has a good beat it’s actually a prince bite doves cry it already got bit ….Lets also not pretend that Ashanti is as sucky as Britney she aint and she sings better than Bey and doesn’t have an ego problem like Bey

57.

SHE HAS NO ROOM TO EVER TALK BAD ABOUT BRITNEY SPEARS! THIS HOE CANT SING EITHER, AND SHE WILL NEVER PERFORM ON MTV AWARDS, OR ANY OTHER AWARD SHOW AND THIS SONG IS PROOF OF IT

62.

Amani

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Damn, thank God my life is not like some of yalls. It seems like the highlight of your day is to go online and hate on multimillionaires. Get out of the house and do something. Don’t be jealous of her success, maybe you can achieve a little if you focus your energy on something else instead of hatin’. She still getting her money.

63.

hott#1

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

A hot doo~doo MESS! I tell you the truth…if most of these young artist didn’t have the looks or fucc 4 tracks, they wouldn’t get nowhere in the game.

64.

OV

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Her comback is so weak I must admit vocally she sounds alot stronger then ever before I guess thats what several years of laying low can do that to you this song sounds like they sampled diddy’s last night or tried to remix it and put ashanti on the track she has a problem like most artist have being different she needs to redo her self and not try to comeback like her old self its 2007 ashanti please get here its for your own good…….

65.

lexilex

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

Ashanti, I’m sorry but you are such a “has been”. But then again, I don’t think you ever were… I’m just not feeling it. Poor Ashanti… whomever exposed you as another non - singing singer has ruined your career…. LOL…wack ass!

66.

Nothing But Love

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

@ WHITNEY

Whats Aaliyah (R.I.P) got to do with this, but while were on the subject she was a hell of a lot better than Ashanti, at least she could sing if you think not, you obiviously aint seen her preformance @ the oscars so u might want to watch tht then come back and holla at me. And people dont hype her up coz shes dead if tht was the case her being dead would be a perfect chance to forget about her but its been nearly 10 years since she died and aint no one forgotten about her including you and she puts most if not all of todays R&B singers to shame.

67.

hmmm and they need to be defended? These multimillionaires (who ply our airwaves w/ so much garbage that we are forced to go online to look for alternative entertainment that stimulates the sould *not just the gyrating groin*) My bad for having an opinion/ as well as a functioning a-hole so to those who don’t want to hear my opinion about these overpaid/overrated/talentless/comerce-shells…. blow it out of yours and don’t read me. Just like you scream for me not to listen to nor buy this kind of trash. ;P

70.

Tu-Tu

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

She is going to end up just like Kelly Rowland. Ain’t nobody going to but that album. It took awhile for people to like her first single and even when it was getting play nobody really bought her album and as fast as she came in, she went out fast too. Album is out and nobody cares. The same thing will happen to Ashanti and maybe even worst then Kelly. Most of her fans were young when she came out and no other female artist was out during that time, so that was Ashanti’s time in 02 but after that she sort of disappeared when Beyonce came out. Now we have people like Ciara out and young people don’t want to hear that crap Ashanti coming out with and most of Ashanti fans are done and over her and her music. She can keep trying but ten or even 5 years from now we will be wondering what ever happened to that girl. Hopefully they will remember her name

71.

Crystal

Tuesday, September 18, 2007 /

They both sampled from prince song so no one is better then the other. And I like it. I remember when another song came out I hated it but then I started liking it. So this has potential. Good job girl.

72.
