NEW MUSIC FROM ASHANTI

Monday, January 14, 2008

newashanti.jpg

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.

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!

#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.

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!

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.

53.

Real Talk

Monday, January 14, 2008 /

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!

54.

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.

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.

59.

Monday, January 14, 2008 /

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!

sounds good to me…… she’s been taking some voice classes…. and the beat is kinda hot….

62.

And @Brian,

Greg Curtis is Bryan-Michael Cox’s mentor and he pretty much is emulating him in his productions, as tired as they are.

63.

It'sReal

Monday, January 14, 2008 /

Sista_Gurl, at the end of the day it’s OPINIONS. If you don’t like the song, then that’s how you feel, but to say the people who like it are the reason why music is trash, is SO not true. You got stuff like Superman on the radio, & THIS is trash? Pssh, this is the kind of music we need again, REAL talk.

64.

crystal

Monday, January 14, 2008 /

oh and Ashanti does not even touch Beyonce!!! No where near it! Beyonce is a way better perfomer and vocalist..lets not compare

not a ashanti fan but i wish her the best….AHHHHHHHHHHHHH BABY!!! LOL

crystal

Monday, January 14, 2008 /

Ashanti strains her voice…..Alicia, Keyshia, and Fantasia they can hit those high notes..it comes out more smoother and natural for them. I cant stand Fantasia but she still can sing…better than Ashanti

72.

sista_gurl

Monday, January 14, 2008 /

@60

The lyrics are bland and repetitive, just like all of Ashanti’s songs are and the beat is just lame.

Everyone can complain and complain about how wack Soulja Boy’s music but they ignore how tired Ashanti’s music has always been.

75.

SHE IS ON FIYA!!! she getting to the top with this…being an artist is about getting better as time goes and she surely is doing just that….being that she aint with the INC anymore, she got all the creative control too!….you doing in big ma!
