EVERYTHING? Even "The Way That I Love You"? This song sounds nice but nothing amazing. Considering she's been away for so long you'd expect everything she's coming back with to be spectacular - I mean what's she been doing 4 years?
But so far I've heard nothing but mediocreness!
this son is HOT and you guys know it she's bring heat....
i just feel people have nothing better than hate and compare...she's doing big things if you think you little school girl comment gonna stop ASHANTI doing what she loves then think again just go back to stacking shelves in your local supermarket....
That record is FIYAH, I luv it when shani put out real records like this!
@ CHEEKYBOI - Who are you refering to?
Totally agree with u taheera...
Oh, I've read about u and Ne-Yo, I'm sorry... LOL
YOU >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>taheera.
TOYAS COOL
It sounds alright.
Am I the only one who found it hilarious that Beyonce comes on first to say its a "Tape Masters Inc. exclusive"??? Then you hear the beat-which is very hot!!! The little hook-hot! Then Ashanti's monotone ass voice comes in and pretty much ruins it for me....especially with the yelling parts...her voice NEVER moves from that same damn note????WHY???? There is a word for her kind...to be continued...
i like the lyrics and the melody...they are fiyah!!!! but the beat is kinda lame honestly...she actually sounds like a singer on this track!
Bey woulda voically, taken it there...Mariah woulda too. Just not Ashanti. Nice R&B-synth beat tho just give it another qualitfied artist
Not bad.
I have a feeling this album is going to suprise all of us
@ Ouch - Thank you, but let's not be sad - I haven't stopped celebrating. In the words of Trina "I'm single again.....back on the prowl" 
@ Cheekyboi - Who did I compare her to?
Where's the hate?
What's the "BIG THINGS" you ranting
about?
And I never have stacked my local shelves but it sounds like u spaeking from experience so the same to you
This is a nice little groove. I'm looking forward to her album.
I agree with you taheera I was expecting a lot more from ashanti but I must have been a fool to do so. She needs to see her old people because it seems like she is missing something.
BORING
Why is she still screaming every fucking second. Listen to the song in the prechorus... you can hear how each line was pasted. And you know she was just in the booth screaming each line one at a time, and then they pieced em together.
"Ain't nobody better for me than yooouuuuuu"... copying the same tired vocal run from her 20938238th single The Way That I Love You.
Ashanti, I declare that your career is over. She better get to begging for another Resident Evil, or a Coach Carter: The College Years sequel.
Whats with all the comparisons, saying, "oh beyonce and mariah would have vocally taken this song up there?" Ashanti did the track, which she wrote, so get over it LOL. who knows, maybe Ashanti can grace them with a couple of her writing skills in the mere future. sounds GREAT BTW. -gives SEOD to the other hating comments though- cant wait the for album.
Thanks for posting Toya. 
Love this song Ashanti is bringing it this time
JUNE 3rd
Enough Said
Spot on brownsugah007. Her first two albums were pure hotness, I think that was when she was working solely with 7Aurelius. So yeah she needs 2 hook back up with the inc.
"Ain't nobody better for me than yooouuuuuu"... copying the same tired vocal run from her 20938238th single The Way That I Love You.
only a fan would notice that LMAO
Yall are truly funny, eveyone isn't going to like everything Ashanti do I understand that. But to say TWTILY wasn't a Huge improvement shows me that whatever she does people will still try to say she needs to step up or w.e. I love the song yeah im a stan and I love it lmaoo at people honestly THINKING that "OTHER ARTIST" would be able to write a hit like TWTILY PLEASE name some. (Hint Irreplaceable was written by Ne-yo and Touch my body was written by The-dream) I will wait...

Damn this is SOUNDS LIKE something OLD
Stop the screaming!!! please
The Way That I Love You was a hit? News to me. Hit and miss maybe!
I have a lot of love 4 Ashanti, but criticism where criticism is due, not out of hate, out of a longing for her to come correct with what we know she has and can deliver, and sorry if it offends put The Way That I Love You is just a hot noisy mess - from the vocals to the piano to the horns, it's all just over the top.
We know she can sing so there really was no need to over-do it and end up screaming all over the place.
How can anybody - even the biggest of Ashanti fans (which is probably Ashanti herself) honestly sit and comfortably listen and rock to that?
^^^^ @ Travis
wow look at all these comments i just luv Ashanti it seems like when ever u say her name pple got something bad 2 say. she is the most hated in the game and i luv it cuz it just show's how big of a star she really is. and u hater's can talk all u want but make sure u guy's go get dat cd june 3rd 2008 baby.
Hmm. Ashanti gets hated on about as much as Beyonce.
The Way That I Love You not a hit? Shut the fuck up. That song is fiyah. I don't know WHY it's not doing good on the charts - but any song that has a video without a green scren for 60% of it is good to me, and Ashanti has for DAMN sure come a long way from "Happy."
Someone above said: 'We all know Ashanti can sing' or some shit like that. Please.. not everyone knows that cause they put their two cents in EVERYTIME she sings live. I dont know how that rumor started. She can sing. She maybe can't SANG - but she can sing.
I can't listen to this song yet so I can't say how I feel about it, but come on now.. The Way That I Love You was the business, and calling it a hot noisy mess shows that you have no ear for good music at all. It's a good song. I know everyone won't like it.. but a mess? Seriously?
Are there any stans to give us the information on the "horns and piano" that were a 'noisy mess' on this song? Who did them?
Stop all the shit talking abd get the CD!!!!

@ K3ndl3
Q: I don't know WHY it's not doing good on the charts
A: Cos it SO isn't chart material - a HOT - NOISY - MESS, get over it!
I'm really surprising myself. I'm actually ANTICIPATING an Ashanti album.
The Way That I Love You was produced by L.T. Hutton
^^^
Well that's a surprise. His stuff his usually dope! Particularly the work he did for Da Brat's Limelite, Luv & Niteclubz ALBUM.
@Toya: I actually wanted to say the same thign earlier.
"only a fan would notice that LMAO"
Either a fan, or just someone with a great musical ear that knows what they are talking about.
I'm gonna roll with the latter... thanks!
loves it! June 3!
absolute shit just my opinion 
I love it. This CD is gonna be hot.
I'm getting stripper vibes from the photo.
-gives SEOD-
"Ashanti gets hated on about as much as Beyonce."
No words.
I like the track and will support her June 3
Great song.
Reading these HATE comments are exactly what i expect on the subject of Ashanti.
People will line up just to hate on her, which is amazing.
If you are not being talked about, then your probably nothing to talk about.
You have artist like Ciara, Janet Jackson, Christina Milian, who clearly can't sing better than Ashanti and they don't get 1/2 the hate?
Yeaaaaah, interesting!
Ashanti fans, stop defending her because decent people who don't hate on people they don't know, know the truth. Granted, she can't sing better than Beyonce, or the old Mariah Carey, however she CAN sing.
Ashanti keep stacking up the haters!
I'm trying to get on your LEVEL!!
Team Ashanti!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
