Editorial Review: Album Details: She Has Worked with Some of the Biggest Names in Pop: Ja Rule, Big Pun, J-lo, Fat Joe... Now, She is the First R&B Signing of the Infamous Murder Inc. Record Label. Ja Rule Has Helped Position her for Multi Platinum Success. This European Edition Includes Four Tracks Not on the Us Version: 'fight (Over Skit)', 'shi Shi (Skit)', 'dreams' and 'thank You'. Amazon.com: These days, R&B girls are a dime a dozen, but Ashanti Douglas is a step ahead of the pack. Youthful appeal and a pleasantly dreamy voice complement the 21-year-old singer/songwriter's ability to pen her own radio-friendly verses. However, Ashanti's young'un status shows itself through her treatment of the usual R&B-girl subject matter: love standing strong, love gone bad, and the search for love of self. Songs like "Foolish," "Happy," and "Baby" are as simple and agreeable as their one-word titles suggest, while "Call," "Movies," and "Over" take a slightly more earthy approach. Ashanti is definitely R&B for the under-30 set, and as such it's bouncy and playful. This debut, as is to be expected of a Murder Inc. release, features a strong hip-hop element, including two duets with Irv Gotti's golden child, Ja Rule, and the sampling of a controversial Notorious B.I.G. composition in "Unfoolish." The kids should love it. --Rebecca Levine Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - its ok this album is ok with some nice songs on it like my favorites like baby foolish those are the best song on the album its worth buying Rating:  - excuse me...but this isn't music.how can i put it politely...forget it. i cant be polite after having the misfortune of buying this load of garbage that Ashanti and the Inc folks beset on me. Out of everything on the cd the only two songs that i remotely liked "Foolish" and "Unfoolish" one using BIG's song for a sample and the other was just alright. Out of 17 songs (including a few lame as heck skits) that were better left on the cutting room floor. Having to listen Irv Gotti his way through a song as a featured artist is torturous enough. If i ever wonder why i didnt like Ashanti all i need to do is look at the cd cover and all those horrible songs will come back to me...unfortunately. This isn't purchase worthy or download worthy either except for the two ...

It was highly anticipated and in all actuality it did not disappoint. Her self titled debut is for the most part a solid effort. My only real critique is that it should have been shorter. She has too many tracks, which sadly leads to filler, tracks that, if eliminated, could have elevated the overall appeal of the album. This is the only reason this album receives four and not five stars. I love this album, and quite frankly this is the finest effort on the part of Ashanti. Her follow up albums lacked the spark and seductively that her debut had, and so I debated giving this album five stars anyways, but those few songs that shouldn't be here made that ... Read More: Rating: - Ashanti proves predictability and beauty works forceful wonders.4 stars.Intro --> It's alright. Shows where she came from (musically). 3.5/5 Foolish --> The ultimate pop/R&B crying-cause-he-done-wrong anthem. 5.25/5 Happy --> Her most chipperly, upbeat release, EVER. 4/5 Leaving (Always On Time Pt. 2) --> Obviously Her best song here. In the top 2 best songs by Her, EVER. 6/5 Narrative Call (Skit) --> I wish I had someone that called, and I'd waste my time runnin' too (is so serious) 4/5 Call --> Some of the most soothing vocals, this Libra beaut has EVER, *EVER* delivered. Catchy, and the Ladies will GOBBLE THIS UP, I swear. 4/5 Scared --> Bubblegum pop/R&B track. Pleasant but very forgettable. But isn't that what She's the "Princess of R&B" for??! 3.5/5 Rescue --> For a long, ... Read More: Rating: - Voice Isn't Everything Ashanti is one of those artists who are consistently hated on despite making good music. She is widely criticized for having a weak voice, although I fail to see how that matters since her style of music does NOT require Whitney-esque powerhouse vocals. Ashanti was also attacked for the overuse of samples on her albums, which was viewed as a lack of originality. However, to those of us who do not know the song that is sampled, it really is not that much of an issue. While it is true that it is not original, at least Ashanti gives credit where credit is due. It's not as though she's using someone else's songs and claiming them as her own. In fact, with her debut Ashanti shows quite a knack for penning radio-friendly songs, which, for the most part, suit ... Read More: |
