    As We Pray, Ashanti’s ‘BraveHeart’ Delayed Until 2013

    Written by Trent | Filed under Ashanti

    The cover of Ashanti's 'Braveheart' album.

    Get your bible, your hymns, some salt and the Book of Shadows because the time has come for us to pray for Ashanti. Why are we lifting our voices in prayer to the guardians of the watch tower? The singer-songwriter’s ‘BraveHeart’ album has been delayed until January 2013.

    After two previous push backs, the arrival of Ashanti’s ‘BraveHeart’ has been postponed until January 1st 2013. It was just last month when it revealed at the record wouldn’t hit stores until August 28th – four months later than its original scheduled April 17th debut – and now it seems as though it might never be released.

    Among the songs on ‘BraveHeart’ are the lead single, ‘The Woman You Love (Ft. Busta Rhymes)’ and the midtempo ‘She Can’t’. Yet, there is no word regarding if any changes will be made to the record’s lineup by January or if Ashanti will opt to release a different lead single, thus classing ‘The Woman You Love’ as just a buzz track since it failed to chart on the Billboard Hot 100.

    ————————————————————————–

    I really don’t know what to say at this point. How could anybody justify such a lengthly delay of an album? Perhaps, Ashanti has chosen the Leona Lewis route and postponed ‘BraveHeart’ for such a long period of time so that she can revamp the entire project.

    Honestly, at this point, Ashanti basically lost all buzz for her comeback. Hence, she should just return to the studio, refine her sound, plan a better promotional campaign and try again. There is nothing left to be said.

    Thoughts?

      I can’t believe she did this. I was looking forward to the album. I don’t think this is a good idea. No one will care come January.

      Ashanti spent all her budget on booking Busta rhymes for that feature, that dumb ass video and that braid across her forehead, I will not be wasting my prayers on this DOA project… Here’s some advice Ashanti, try and host one of these talent shows and pull a j lo

      She should at least release a mixtape or ep. She has to do something, otherwise she’ll be left in a single flop- pushback cycle. She needs help. She clearly cannot handle all this by herself.

      She should change the album title and cover. It looks silly and budget. If she’s going to take more time before release she shouldn’t be afraid to revamp the whole thing.

      What buzz was there to begin with? None! The album has been pushed back more than what was stated above: She has been working on this album for 3 years now! All the songs she has recorded and she can’t release an album? Come on….

      I’m EXTREMELY disappointed. That’s all I have to say. She hit 2012 hard and the single got massive play on radio, but with the push back from April to June, to August, now the album has been scrapped and been rescheduled to a 2013 release? Girl…we better get an 8 track EP or mixtape to hold us over. Or she’s gonna kill the little buzz her fans have…

      She better use that 20k she just received to jump start this project!

      Ashanti has never confirmed a date for her album. So for this January 2013 date is false.
