Making her stunning entrance in a dizzying cascade of piano and layered vocals, The Inc./Universal Motown Recording Artist ASHANTI puts it all on the line in the powerfully soulful and grandly dramatic “The Way That I Love You,” the first single and video from her upcoming album THE DECLARATION.
The home truths of ASHANTI’s “The Way That I Love You” are drawing a loud “Amen” from the radio and video outlets that have supported her from day one of her multi-platinum career as an artist and songwriter. The track is the No. 1 most-added song at Urban-formatted radio in it’s first week, with more than 50 adds at major stations blanketing the east, midwest, south and west coast.

I think this album is going to be her best material ever. The Way That I Love You is probably her best track to date. This is going to be some good stuff. Ashanti is beautiful but she gotta slow down will all that horsehair.

Who cares if Irv slept with her? Do you only date virgins or something? Every woman has a past. What kind of women are you dealing with? Ashanti is hot as hell. Nelly is a lucky man.

these are some beautiful pic, i would say something about her make up but she look beautiful. and that the one thing about wearing on make up you need to no how to use it the correct way and she did. if you don’t wear on make up the correct way you will come off lookin like a drag queen. i mean there a difference between wearing on make up and painting your face with alot of make up which is not good. as for her her make up is lovely she look very beautiful and she remind me of billy holiday for some reason….very unique beauty

#10 that’s a stupid comment because that’s exactly why Beyonce and Ciara are killing this bitch. Ashanti not putting herself out there has made her irrelevant. I mean real talk nobody is checking for her anymore. Her, Brandy, Monica all them been gone so long that nobody cares anymore. It’s all about Beyonce, Ciara, Alicia Keys, Mary, Rihanna, and Mariah now nobody else is selling like them. Oh well Brandy and Monica can sing though so they might can come back. Ashanti on the other hand not a good singer or dancer so she can easily be forgotten. I wish her luck though.

@9

I guess you get Billy Holiday flash backs because they went for that old timer look in that second pic. She looks like singers/Hollywood stars used to look like back in the days but she doesn’t look like Billy Holiday though.

This could be Ashanti’s year!!!!

Keke wrote on April 2nd, 2008 at 3:52 pm

I feel sorry for Ashanti. She will never be on Beyonce or Mary level. I disagree with number 10 Bee and Cici are making it rain on Ashanti and Ashanti been out the game so long that nobody cares. She is mediocre on top of that. She should just model and leave singing to the real singers.

smh@haters wrote on April 2nd, 2008 at 3:53 pm

wow number 12 sounds like a hater it was a time when ashanti was on top and no one was fucking with her so she definetley can come back but i do agree that she needs more exposore not too much but a little more anyway these pics are hot she doesnt seem to age at all

i didnt like her song.

sure it has “emotion” but it felt generic to me.

the beat, the lyrics.

ughh haha and that bio or whatever taken from her website makes me sick

“The home truths of ASHANTI’s “The Way That I Love You” are drawing a loud “Amen” from the radio and video outlets that have supported her from day one”

haha. says who? i cant hear outlets saying “yeah we supported this record since day one, amen!”

too much hype in that

Damn. Beyonce came in and shut her career down.

@Keke

Just give her a chance. Ashanti has a lot of fans out there who are looking forward to this new album. It’s all about HITS. If this album turns out to be great then she’ll have a great year. Many artists are mediocre but they still sell a lot of albums and are very popular. Why feel sorry for ashanti? Just because she’ll probably never be on Beyonce and Mary’s level doesn’t mean she can’t have a good career. Most successful artists will never get to Bey and Mary’s level.

WHITE BREAD........CHICAGO wrote on April 2nd, 2008 at 4:23 pm

co sign #12 ‘real talk’.. what i meant was that even tho she not out there like beyonce and cici she still can can come out and be hot. i wasn’t dissin B’ n Ci’ it was kind of an example. ashanti not being out there and to come out and to still be hot is pretty good that was what i meant. and of corse beyonce and cici is killing this bitch. but for a chick who not putting herself out there alot and is still hot is good. normally a artist who doesn’t put themself out there they come off wack but she not… #13 mike…i didn’t say she look like billy holiday, i actually said that she remind me of billy holiday.

21.
Mike wrote on April 2nd, 2008 at 4:51 pm

Yeah, I know I know…Anyway I wonder why no artists do any Billy Holiday covers? There are so many great Holiday tracks. “Don’t explain” is a sad beautiful song.

Greg wrote on April 2nd, 2008 at 5:50 pm

@ 18 how in the world did Beyonce shut her down? She still selling albums. She’s platinum everytime she drops. The only reason we have not heard from her in a while is, due stuff IRV & Ja were going through.

23.
Lala wrote on April 2nd, 2008 at 7:37 pm

Actually #22 we haven’t heard from her in awhile because all her new songs are wack especially that ’switch’ shit and she keeps pushing her albums back and like others have said nobody gives a shit about her no more. Talent lasts forever which is why these mediocre chicks like ashanti, mya, and cassie dont last long. Beyonce, Mariah, Mary J Blige, and Alicia Keys have amazing talent and will be here for years to come. Ashanti? No I’m sorry but she doesn’t have the talent most of these chicks dont it’s not just her. I’m not hating either because I like 1 or 2 of her songs but she has never been anyone special to me. Irv messed her up too now people think she fucked for tracks.

Guess the reason why Janet is still around is because she can sing her ass off. What great talent.

i’ll take ashanti anyday over rihanna and ciara(in my humble opinion are 2 of the wackest bitches thus far)and i never thought i would say that cause she’s not exactly a good singer.but when i heard that ciara you you you song,my ears started bleeding.

I always think it’s funny when people talk about the great talented singers will be around for many years and less talented artists fades away and bla bla bla bla. There are so many examples of talented artists that flop don’t get the shine they deserve or have a few hits and then nobody cares about them, and there are just as many examples of non talented singers who become huge stars and have long careers.

You bitches don’t know shit I am a huge fan of Beyonce that is my girl she do her thang and Ashanti I like her too because she take her time to do what she got to do before she come out with new things and I can definitely say that her new single “The Way That I Love You” is the shit I hear that song everywhere I go. I love that song and I think she made a hit when she came out with that song all I can say is she is most definitely back for now. So stop riding her so damn hard.
