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.
Is this real? The jokes write themselves.
She’s BACK #TeamAshanti all day, solid joint
-______________________________- NO GOOD!
I’m not here for Ashanti but she looks amazing in that pic
Yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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.
I LIKE it!!!!!!Awright Ashanti!!!
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.
It’s good…
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”
Good stuff I can see this making its way to the top on the radio
Is it called No Good or The Woman You Love?
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.
I’m not a fan, but I kinda like this…not a single flat note +
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.
As long as its not pop, I like it.
i will be buying her album definitely..
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
im confused why do it sound like a demo if i hear a clearer version it could be a potential grower
the song is called “The Woman You Love” and will be on iTunes tomorrow
but ii like the song
I really like it. Like someone else mentioned, I’m really happy with anything that’s not dance-pop.
I actually like the song, especially the build up to the chorus.
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.
I like the song , & the beat , i would to hear someone else singing it …Melanie Fiona wouldve murdered it
