♫ HOT OR NOT: ASHANTI’S NEW SINGLE
Tuesday, May 13, 2008

Check out this 90 second snippet of Ashanti’s second single, “Body On Me,” featuring former boyfriend Nelly and producer/singer/songwriter, Akon of Konvict Music. This second single comes from Ashanti’s fourth studio album, The Declaration, which is slated to hit stores on the 3rd of June.
Even though it’s just a 90 second teaser for the fans, I had to see what the CL’ers thought of her next effort, considering how well her first single “The Way That I Love You” is being received on radio and video countdowns. It took a minute for Ashanti to get it together, releasing a few buzz singles, but I think they’re finally making some good decisions. So what do you think?
ASHANTI’S NEW SINGLE IS…
If you’re checking for Ashanti this time around on her new album, The Declaration, check her out on MySpace and cop the album, in stores June 3rd!

I love it…it don’t have the depth of the first single but it is a nice summer banger with pop appeal..it should help sell some cd’s.

The song is alright but Ashanti has lost that crossover appeal that you need to sell a lot of records. I’m not even going to lie, I’ll burn her album from somebody else…but I wouldn’t buy it…

Ok don’t get me wrong I am a huge Ashanti stan but this shit is just not the business. It’s hot garbage and in no way shape or form should be a single on anyone’s album. She sounds like Cassie on this record and Akon annoying ass makes me sick.

Former boyfriend? They seemed pretty much together when I saw those pics of them last week.
And when Nelly was on 106, he spoke highly of her.
Anyways, I like the song.

The song is pretty hot…Ashanti went hard with this single and the way that i love u, considering the fact that Gotti is not in the picture…And about her and nelly, I don’t think they broke up. There are pics of her and nelly together at a private dinner from last week. I think that since there have not been many pics of them together lately people think that they are not together put they are just a private couple.

This song is hot! Ashanti is brining the heat…first “The Way That I Love You” and now “Body On Me”? I’m definitely getting her cd.

I’ll admit. I was never really a fan of Ashanti’s but damn I can’t even front. From the 3 or 4 songs I’ve heard I’m anticipating to buy this cd. Hopefully the songs on there are as good…she might just have a new fan.

I read something the other day saying that they’d split up and were just good friends now. I’ll find what site it was on and come back and post the link. my apologies if that’s just a rumor. blogs don’t always tell the truth!

Have Not thought of a New User Name

The song is ok
She should have gotten someone besides Akon to sing his part of the hook. I could have did without Nelly to. It’s radio friendly so it will get spins on radio and in the clubs.

Nelly and Ashanti are still together, people. This is her second single, and they’ll be filming the video within the next couple weeks. Anyway, this song is hot. Definitely a summer jam, and very radio friendly. Her voice sounds really sweet harmonizing with Akon’s, and the chemistry between them vocally sounds natural. I can’t wait until JUNE 3RD to buy THE DECLARATION. It’s going to be monumental!

Akon’s voice kinda distracted me at first, but after getting past that the song is okay.

She sounds so amazing on this song. There are some jealous haters who give negative comment because Ashanti seems to be doing a fantastic job with the new album and haters can’t get over the fact that the singer can actually blow.

I really like it but I definitely think she should remove Nelly from it. Akon does the song enough justice…and Ashanti sounds really good on it.

I kinda like it, I think I’ll like it more when the full version comes out. I think she has a hit with this one, and a good follow up to such a powerful first single ,”TWTILY”.She should take it in this direction after that single even though it is not what she would normally do, she doesnt release singles with featured artist but change iz good.
