This multiple Grammy winner and R&B superstar has delivered some of her most powerful and passionate songs yet. “The Declaration” features the smash hit “The Way That I Love”, which showcases the power of Ashanti’s soulful voice as she tells the heart wrenching story of a scorned lover. This 13 song set is Ashanti’s 4th studio album and first since 2004. Ashanti has been busy developing her acting career with John Tucker Must Die, Coach Carter, and Resident Evil, and now she returns to deliver a career defining album!

what Ashanti needs to do with this cd is make the quality story telling videos she has a list of in the past. and she could have had an awesome chart hit with THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU before now, if she had selected to make a video that wasn’t damn violent and sycho. that GOOD GOOD video is to fucking raunchie, silly and airhead.
