    New Song: Ashanti – ‘The Woman You Love (Ft. Busta Rhymes)’

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Ashanti,Busta Rhymes

    Ashanti promised that she would release the lead single from her next studio album later this year and she has kept her word. ‘The Woman You Love’ featured Busta Rhymes – the man who helped Chris Brown to forge a major comeback with one of the biggest-selling singles of 2011, ‘Look At Me Now’.

    Listen to Ashanti’s ‘The Woman You Love’ below:

    ‘The Woman You Love’ is definitely a good song but the thinness of Ashanti’s voice weakened its impact. In fact, it would have sounded a lot better if it was performed by Mary J. Blige as a solid addition to her ‘My Life II: The Journey Continues (Act 1)’ album.

    Still, with R&B music currently inching back to the forefront of the industry, Ashanti’s presence on the music scene is quite welcome. As both a singer and a songwriter, she has the ability to help give the movement added momentum.

    Thanks Rap Dose!

      Is this real? The jokes write themselves.

    • Andre

      She’s BACK #TeamAshanti all day, solid joint

    • aj

      I’m not here for Ashanti but she looks amazing in that pic

    • _yezzir

      Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • Julien

      I wish she would stick to singing demos. Imagine how great “The Way I Love You” would sound if Tamia had sung it instead of Ashanti.

    • R@@

      I LIKE it!!!!!!Awright Ashanti!!!

    • DOMOdotSCORE

      The song is cute but I really expected better from her seeing as she has been gone for so long. I hope she has better songs waiting in her hope chest.

    • theman

      It’s good…

    • Nelz

      Fair review I am biased when it comes to Ashanti, but if it was slower with more body to her voice it would have been better, still a great song tho!!! “Your never satisfied”

    • Munchiie

      Good stuff I can see this making its way to the top on the radio

    • http://twitter.com/jordaniewis Jordan

      Is it called No Good or The Woman You Love?

    • KendallJamaal

      You know what mann… Not everyone is a Whitney, Mariah, or Beyonce. She can hold a tune and give us something. & we all know we f’cked w/ “Happy” & “Foolish” Ashanti. She’s back & this is a solid comeback. Good for her.

    • C

      I’m not a fan, but I kinda like this…not a single flat note +

    • ENTERTAINER

      It’s ok, Busta parts sound the best with the abrupt pauses. I just don’t see it for her. R&b fans aren’t buying.

    • Misty Jean

      As long as its not pop, I like it.

    • jjenn

      i will be buying her album definitely..

    • Tristan

      After a few listens, the song is definitely a grower. Now, if Ashanti plans on making a major dent on the mainstream charts, she’s going to have to come a bit harder than this. I think even a song similar to her last

    • olivia

      im confused why do it sound like a demo if i hear a clearer version it could be a potential grower

    • http://labelmegossip.com pjayy

      the song is called “The Woman You Love” and will be on iTunes tomorrow

      but ii like the song

    • Naudisweet(Xtina Stan)

      I really like it. Like someone else mentioned, I’m really happy with anything that’s not dance-pop. :)

    • http://twitter.com/YOitsHEEZY YOitsHEEZY

      I actually like the song, especially the build up to the chorus.

    • WonderLand19

      Trent, you took the words out of my mouth. Her vocals didnt match. Tiffany Evans could have done a better job with this. The beat is crazy and busta is really good. The only thing lacking is a rich vocal.

    • Tahj M.

      I like the song , & the beat , i would to hear someone else singing it …Melanie Fiona wouldve murdered it
