Yesterday we had the pleasure of attending a private listening session for Grammy Award winning superstar Ashanti long awaited album Braveheart. Myself along with 10 other journalist talked with the r&b diva while listening to the album in its entirety. Ashanti definitely put together a strong body of work with a few features helping her along the way including Jeremih, Rick Ross, French Montana & Beenie Man. This album shows so much growth in her artistry but what it really does it lets us in as she gets more personal on records than she ever has. You can tell that love, heartbreak and finding her strength is what set the tone for this album which makes it relatable to everyone especially the females. Some of our favorites are the standout tracks like BraveHeart, 3 Words, Count, Runaway, Nowhere, Love Games , Early In The Morning , Scar & First Real Love. This album is 8 years in the making and we definitely see why Ashanti chose to do it on her own this time around along with Eone Music. Check out footage from the listening exclusively from us as she opens up about going independent, getting personal on the record, touring, possible next singles & more below.
