She's got a very nice production lineup there. We'll see what they can do for her.

im excited i happen to be an Ashanti fan. my favorite album is Concrete Rose and i have all of them. Cant wait till "Declaration" come out.

I'll check this one out....Ashanti gets undeservedly bashed around here. I still listen to and enjoy her debut album quite a bit and "Rock Wit U" is awesome.

I agree. Ashanti gets dissed so much and I don't think she deserves to be. She's not the best, but she's not as bad as everyone likes to make her out to be.

The video for "The Way That I Love You" premieres next week!I'll post it here when it comes out.

Im Looking foward to the Robin Thicke Produced tracks, he's a good producer

Im not too familiar with his producing.What songs for other artists has he produced?

Is there any way for her to revive her career? She's been out of the spotlight for over three years, and since Ciara and Rihanna burst onto the scene, no one has been begging for her return.

Hey Guys, here's an exclusive preview of her new video. Personally I think this is one of her best videos yet. Take a look and post your reactions:

I think it was a wise decision to push this album back to 2008. Ashanti hasn't released a new album since 2004. Maybe this will spark some interest in people. However, she's gonna need a massive hit to revive her career.

I agree.This needs to be a hit or else she's done!What do you think about the video, Gucci?

Is AShanti still part of The Inc?

I heard she and Irv had a fallin out? What happened?


I just listening to this song, it's alright, her voice is minimal and she tried her best. I don't think this is the song that will get Shanti bak on top again.

It's already #15 on the "Bubbling Under R+B/Hip-Hop Singles Chart"!

And Radio play is picking up!

I haven't seen the video yet. That link didn't work for me.

Does anyone think "The Way That I Love You" will chart on the R&B/HIP-HOP songs next week.
