WOW.
After all these years of waiting for a new album from Ashanti (ok I was not really waiting but someone was) and this is what we get? This is a pretty lackluster grouping of songs. I like "The Way That I Love You", "In These Streets", and "Struggle" . . . and "You're Gonna Miss" is not bad . . . but its like something is generally missing from this. Its boring. Even the track with Robin Thicke ("Things You Make Me Do") is off to me - the production is hot and Robin Thicke delivers, so maybe with another singer - like maybe Beyonce or even Janet (its whispery)- it would have been tight. "Body On Me" with Nelly and Akon should be a banger, but its just . . ehh. Thats it - this whole album is ehh . . . I am turning it off and playing the Weezy again.
Maybe I need to hear this a few more times . . . I will force my self to listen to it and maybe retract this if my opinion changes, but on the first impression this is not a good album and Ashanti is not on her game on "The Declaration". She looks sexy on the cover, though.
Bootleg this.
