Ashanti Promotes Her New CD “The Declaration”

Ashanti is making the rounds promoting her latest album release, “The Declaration.” I’ll be honest and admit that I really do not follow Ashanti, but she looks great in these photos and some of you probably give a rats ass about her music. If you are thinking about picking this one up for Father’s Day, here’s what you need to know according to Rolling Stone:

“On her fourth album, she’s still doing the diva-by-numbers thing, alternating between angry-at-her-man anthems and lovey pleasantry. The shuffling “Body on Me,” featuring Nelly and Akon, and the shiny electro-pop “So Over You” are a step up from her Ja Rule duets of old.

But even with A-list producers like Babyface, Jermaine Dupri and Rodney Jerkins, the beats stick to straightforward bounce or subdued ballads. And Ashanti doesn’t offer any more personality: When she coos, “I will let you take control of what I have inside,” on “Girlfriend,” it’s not clear she has much inside to offer”
