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.

Great song, better than most of her other ones. Her voice has drastically improved… Then again, her voice always sounded good on track…it was just her high shows that sounded bad. Hopefully she’s improved that as well, but this song has a very RAW feel, like I feel the emotion behind it, so I don’t think live shows will be a problem for her anymore.

Good luck, Ashanti.

This is okay I guess. I wouldnt say it GREAT but it sounds like a grower. I didnt like “No One” on first listen either so this should do okay on the charts.

Might I add that vocally she sounds a lot better than before. She barely sung the songs she came out with 2002.

Yawn this song is boring and Ashanti is a has been so who cares? Rihanna tried to compete with Beyonce and got embarrassed and so will Ashanti. Girls like Ashanti, Ciara, and Rihanna don’t have the talent to top Beyonce so it won’t happen. Beyonce is an international icon who’s been honored TWICE and ain’t even 30 yet. When the last time Ashanti sold some records or won an award? Exactly Beyonce got rid of this chick at the 2003 BET Awards and Ashanti still ain’t recovered. She might do well but it will take her years and more years and vocal and dance lessons to catch up to Queen Bey.

Sorry Ashanti stans. LOL It’s just a reality check.

Why does she have to be competing with Beyonce just because she came out with a new song. You dont know HOW stupid you sound. Man I am getting sick to death of these BEY stans. Your just jeaulous that Ashanti is doing her thing and you are sittin at home flippin burgers.

#468 I totally feel you on that comment.. when i was reading 464 comment i’m thinking okay why do you think she is competing with B, I mean quietly A-Keys is the ISH have you heard her cd? Why does it always have to be about Creole? it’s like Alicia said, everybody has a lane, no artist are the same, truth is they just want to make great music, they love the music. every once in a while you catch a singer who gets that Diana Ross syndrome(but i guess there’s nothing wrong with that either)

People stop it just be happy for ole girl, let her live. Why do so many are wishing for her to fail what does that say about your character? Uggggggggg

I think it’s BEAUTIFUL. 471 comments, 7/8 pages, of ASHANTI. Whether y’all wanna hear it or not. This is her comeback time. Otherwise something that was posted on MONDAY still wouldn’t be on the front page on THURSDAY. Get the phuck over it; Shany is back.

Ashanti looking bangin at michael jordan’s celebrity golf tournament « Media Outrage

Thursday, January 17, 2008 /

[...] Ashanti was also in attendance at Michael Jordan’s celebrity golf tournament in the Bahamas. If her singing skills only matched her looks she would be in the same category as the very beautiful and talented Alicia Keys and Beyonce, but since they don’t and her live performances actually sound like you’re being sung to by someone’s little retarded brother she’ll stay in her tone deaf category. Don’t worry Ashanti there’s hope because look at Rihanna. She is improving her vocals and using her image to catapult her into superstar startdom. So take notes. To hear Ashanti’s new single click here. [...]

PLEEZE!!!!!!

Thursday, January 17, 2008 /

Keep Jennifer and even Fantasia (somebody mentioned how they hated her) out of this, both of these women are thankful to be busy working and getting paid when so many are not. Someone may like alicia Keyes and another may not,some may like Jaent and another not they are all going to get old someday and they will not all get grammys every year and if this is the only thing you admire about them so sad because they have no true identity and you love them for what they do and not for waht they are and when they stop doing your loyalty will be gone like a puff of smoke.
I don’t worship any or thier accomplishment but I do support those who are trying and trying to do it right!!! Jesus is my Lord not some singer!!!! (I am cautious of idols)

I say God bless Ashanti and I wish her much success.

By the way to those of you who say one is better than the other, some of these women who are striving to be in the business would love to be in any of these womens shoes from those you say are the greatest to the leastest, some of you haters would even yourselves.

This is ridiculous.

By the way are all of you registered to vote? That’s more serious than this.

GUESS WHAT!!!!!!

Thursday, January 17, 2008 /

I DON’T LIKE ALICIA KEYES BUT I HAVE NEVER SAID SO ON HERE AND I DON’T HATE ON HER, I DON”T FEEL SHE IS THIS GREAT VOCALLY. I GUESS BECAUSE I AM OLD SCHOOL AND WE ALL HAVE OUR PREFERENCE. BUT I AM NOT GOING TO HATE ON ANYONE THERE IS ENOUGH MUSIC TO GO AROUND.

AS FAR AS THESE AWARDS AND THE SHOWS GO THIS YEARMOST OF THEM GOT SHUT DOWN BECAUSE YOU ALL MAKE TO MUCH OUT OF THIS STUFF ANYWAY!!!!! JUST TOO MUCH!!!!

ASHANTI, DON”T GIVE UP BABY AND JUST BECAUSE I DON”T LIKE THE SONG I DON”T HATE THE PERSON.

The piano playing is beautiful. If the producer toned down the drums some and let the piano be heard more it would make this song even better. Love the song though.

The name calling in here not necessary and it makes some you look “hateful.” I’m just saying.And turn off the cap-locks please!Plus there is room for everybody in this industry.Teedra Moses is going to do it this year!And why does every topic has to be about Beyonce’?Yes she did her thing, but Beyonce’ hasn’t put anything out yet this year so can you people get her off your brain for 1 second?
