Yesterday was the release of ASHANTI’s latest Album “THE DECLARATION”.
A new venture for the Universal/Motown singer. She worked solely on this project.
From the intro you can tell She’s matured, she’s declaring herself!. We headed out to Virgin Megastore Times Square, where Ashanti graced us with a mini concert belting out 5 tracks for all her fans. Stepping onto the stage promptly at 6:30 P.M., in her white halter top, white shorts, and killer gold heels to give us a classic “FOOLISH”. Followed by another on sure to be a hit “GOOD GOOD”,(which the crowd fully embraced and sang to) “SO OVER YOU”, “YOU’RE GONNA MISS”, & “THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU” were the other songs she performed. Her voice was clear as day, she delivered a great performance for those in attendance. Even as time ran long, she made sure she got to speak to every single fan. Not caring about how long it would take out of her busy schedule.
Truly classy lady Ms. Ashanti gets our vote. It was a pleasure and an honor meeting and speaking with her. We are in love with “THE DECLARATION” It’s been 4 years since her last album, and this one is a must. Great summer anthem album! She even has guest singers on her album like Robin Thick, Nelly, & Akon. Thanks to Shane Smith, Virgin Megastore Times Square, Universal/Motown & ASHANTI!
Check out the video for “THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU”
