Ashanti [PA] - Ashanti > Reviews

Advantages: Beautiful R&B singer with a great voice and some brilliant songs
Disadvantages: Where's she gone??

Ashanti Shequoiya Douglas is an American singer who has also dabbled in song writing, record producing, acting, dancing and modelling. She is a very pretty and sexy girl and looks very at home in the US R&B scene. However, she also appears very cute and friendly and always has a sweet smile on her face which makes her stand out from and be more likeable than other female R&B artists, such as Miss Dynamite and Mary J. Blige, who appear more arrogant ... Read review

Advantages: some good ones
Disadvantages: some bad ones

People first started hearing about Ashanti when a couple of years ago she started appearing in other peoples music videos and collaborating with other, more established artists including Ja Rule in his song titled “Always On Time” and Fat Joe's single calleds 'Whats luv?'. After all these appearances people started to notice her and become more interested and sure enough, she released her first solo single, 'Foolish'. Shortly before ... Read review

Advantages: Most of the songs are fantastic
Disadvantages: A couple of duff ones

Ashanti Douglas may have been most famous for her duets with Ja Rule and Fat Joe ("Always on Time" and "What's Love?" respectively) but when she brought out the song "Foolish" she proved she could cut it as a solo artist as well. And her album backed up this idea perfectly. Ashanti's speciality appears to be a more laid-back, soul-based r & b than many of her contemporaries. This contrast is showed to an even greater extent when you consider she ... Read review

Advantages: great music, relaxing, different
Disadvantages: none

Ashanti is a new talented young singer from America. She had a no1 in america followed by her successful album. This album has a lot of great music with Ashanti's smooth voices in the songs.

Advantages: Great Summer Album
Disadvantages: Too many skits

...packaging. CD cover consists of Ashanti stood on a beach in front of the ocean set against a blue sky. The jewel case insert folds out into a poster on one side, lyrics, credits and thankyous on the other. So is it any good?? Intro If you owned Ashanti’s debut album, ‘Ashanti’, you will familiar with the format of this intro. It is a medley of sound clips from Ashanti’s recent popular songs, that is from her previous album and recent collaborations ... Read review

Advantages: Great quality music
Disadvantages: May not be up tempo enough for some

...I have ever heard, as Ashanti describes how in love she is. Track 10: Voodoo; More up tempo track, nice sassy rhythm and good lyrics Some criticisms of this album is that the first half is better than the second (she goes on a bit of a tangent later) but the quality of the songs on the first half more than make up for that. Also it may not have enough up tempo songs for some people (its not a party album its a chill out album) Overall, its ... Read review

Advantages: soulful, brilliantly produced, charming tracks
Disadvantages: a bit samey

Ashanti is still one of the biggest names in R&B today and 4 albums later has arguably been able to top her first. The eponymous debut combines sultry slowjams with the odd upbeat club track. Best remember for her collaborations with Ja'Rule in her early days, it was almost inevitable therefore that one of the standout tracks of her debut album would be a collaboration with, yes, that man - the gravel-voiced 'Ja'. Leaving (Always on Time Part 2) is ... Read review

Advantages: good chill out tunes
Disadvantages: a tad pretencious

Some good tracks on this album. Some are very relaxing and good background music for playing when gettin ready to go out etc. Some excellent girly tracks very good for listening when you're in an 'independent woman' kinda mood if you get what I mean, loadsa stuff about no good men and the usual. However, there are bits such as the 'dreams' song which is a bit OTT- little kids saying what they wanna be when they grow up. It;s like she;s trying to ... Read review

Advantages: Soulful, and yet up-to-date, it represents a multitude of sides to each story.
Disadvantages: Some songs can get a bit repetitive.

...singer. Both gorgeous, and talented, Ashanti rocked the stage from that point on, and her debut album, the self-titled "Ashanti", rocketed up through the charts. Songs such as her debut solo single, "Foolish", "Happy", and "Leaving (Always on Time Pt.2)", all add to the sensual and deep flava that this album has to offer. No-one can deny that this young songstress, though no Whitney, not only encapsulates true RnB of our generation, but also ... Read review

Advantages: Great singer, very different.
Disadvantages: None at all.

...not Ashanti. Just 21 years old, Ashanti Douglas comes from Glen Cove,Long Island,Newyork,U.S.A. Her first single 'Foolish' reached no 1 in the US charts along with her self titled album'Ashanti'. Ashanti first appeared on our t.v screens in 2001 in always on time a RnB classic duet with herself and her record label mate, worldfamous rapper Ja Rule. Always on time was also a massive hit but people still didnt know Ashanti well, until her First ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent Vocals, Excellent Productions, Great Album Style
Disadvantages: Length of Songs, Too many Intros

Ashanti is probably well remembered from her appearance in Ja Rule's "Always on Time" Video back in April 2002. Ja Rule then signed Ashanti to his record label Murder Inc. Ashanti also had a duet with Fat Joe. She was responsible for the catachy lyrics for "Whats Luv" After these two massive hits Ashanti released her debut album called "Ashant". I personally thought that it was going to be as big an album as her duets with Jar Rule and Fat Joe ... Read review
