REMOVED
Here’s some brand new music from Ashanti. Apparently, this is the first single from her upcoming album, Declaration, not “Hey Baby (After the Club),” which we posted late last year. I guess since those two buzz singles (remember “Switch?”) didn’t do as well as people thought they would. “The Way That I Love You” is interesting though – I actually like it. And I’m not an Ashanti fan. Even though I don’t look to Ashanti for stellar vocal performances, she kind of did her thing on this song. Which isn’t surprising, because Ashanti manages to have a few good songs on her albums. Her debut album still gets play.
Although the track is produced by L.T. Hutton, it has Bryan-Michael Cox-esque quality to it. I think it’s the piano and the vocal arrangement. Either way, I think this song has good potential for radio. The more I listen to it, the more I like it.
For more information on Ashanti, visit her MySpace or her official site! Declaration is set to hit stores April 28, and she will be shooting a new video in the Bahamas at the end of January.
cute song…for her
OMFG!!! Pure hotness.
OMG I didnt know that Ashitty, I mean Ashanti, still had a record deal….
I like the song. I also loved Switch, it was a hot song! I can’t help but wonder if this song is about Nelly’s alleged baby with the ATL stripper!!! Either way, GREAT job Ashanti!
She’s “OFFICIALLY BACK!”
that pic is sooo like throwback ashanti lol damn
the days when she was soo happy, baby
FIRST!!!! LOL nah I’m playin…. I must say, Ashanti did her thing vocally on this track…She definitely stepped her game up on the vocals this time around…Lets see how hot her come-back is when the album drop.
it sucks she cant sing @ all
i can’t wait to see what her album will sound like
The best song EVER. I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. WOW!!!!!!!!!!!
Do ya thang Ashanti. we need female artists right now.
I fukking love it!!
Now this is what she needs to come back, you can keep Hey Baby, This will get her back up there with the big dogs. Well done Ashanti.
#6, randomly though, this is the newest ashanti promo pic. it was the single cover for “hey baby (after the club).” it does look like an old ashanti photo, though.
im loving this song this is what she should of came out with from the beginning thumbs up
Brian? Do u know who the video director will be?

Please shut up. Even a hater should be able to realize this is HOT.
I must say that this is a step up from her past vocal performances. I’m still not a Ashanti fan. I can listen to this in the car without turning the station. The new Alicia Keys album is the shiznit!
NOW THIS IS SIGNATURE SHANI……I LOVE IT…A R&B HIT FOR SURE! WELCOME BACK MA..
This song is hot… and not 1 “baby”….
or did I miss it??
Does she have a label? Switch was weak and Nelly didn’t help at all. She sounds great tho but I did like Concrete Rose. I hope she keeps moving forward.
wow. so different, unexpected… i like it but it’s not like what you have expected or perhaps wanted from ashanti as her fan. it’s good though, i can see this being successful.
I was never a Stan….but I like this song. I want to hear it again.
Good luck with that Ashanti.

YOU A FOOL. LOL.
i dig it not usually a fan, but i must say i really like this. I hope the radio don’t dog it out like everything else
wow this song is so hotttttttttttt im loving it soooooooooooo much cant wait she’s back : )
the lyrics are great she sure knows how to tell a story
Nice song, piano is beautiful.
Gotta admit nice song but why do Ashanti sounds like she be straining when she singing.
This is way off topic, but can some please spell out for me what a ‘STAN’ is. Is it an acronym for something? Thanks.
Lmfao @ #21
She is still signed with The Inc. under Universal Records
She needs to bring Hype back on deck & being us another Rain On Me video.

=================================
Serena, Is that really you, sweetie?
Damn, Ashanti is the new Beyonce’! I remember Bey doing this same pose on one of her covers!
not likin it..her vocals are not strong..or her moves she has never impressed me…she can write but i have never been moved by her…
I see the signal was sent out for all her stans to flood the website with bs, this song is OK but it definitely is not as hot as y’all are acting. First thing is she starts of screaming to soon, that is annoying as hell. Again, the song is cool but nothing to be losing your mind over!
I’m just tired of the same old same digital stuff and would love to hear some live instrumentation once in awhile. I mean, is there still a such thing as MUSIC? anymore???? just wondering.
No those aren’t instuments. Puleez. No, I’m not being negative, much love to ashanti for doing what she does, but it all just sounds os….. the same.
at #50 yea we heard it back then but not da HQ and dis is a banger
I COSIGN #49
omg!!! i love LOVE love LOVE love LOVEEEEEEEEEEE THIS FREAKIN SONG MAN……
This song is awful and her voice sounds bad…everyone saying that her vocals are good are the reason why music is in the garbage.
I have a download link but i’m not sure if we’re allowed to post those on here. Anyways, yeah this is SUCH a step up from Hey Baby, I see top 10 smash with this track if promoted right, hot video, strong performances, it’ll be a good start for her upcoming album. Keep the heat coming Shani!
For Ashitty…pro-tools is a blessing!
