R&B belle Ashanti seems to be playing Santa today; for after revealing the title and tentative tracklist for her sixth studio album, ‘Braveheart’, the singer has followed with its official cover.
Between the braid and blue lipstick, it seems Ms. Douglas really channelled the LP’s title. No shade.
That said, we’re rooting for former INC star. Sadly stepping up her game when the majority turned their attention to the Beyonce‘s and Rihanna‘s of the world, she’s had an increasing uphill battle as of late; something I’m not sure her independent “situation” with Written Entertainment alleviates. I mean, for yours truly, there are some acts who are better suited to a major label situation – Ashanti being one of them.
Indeed, unlike many an unsigned act, Ja Rule‘s one-time comrade has enjoyed the dizzy heights of fame and has a talent that – if backed properly – could go toe to toe with the major label divas. However, now in a predicament which sees her trying to triangulate the financing, A&R, and promotion for her project alone, things are looking messy at best. Current single ‘The Woman You Love’ is doing all of nothing on the charts and prospects aren’t looking great. That said, all it takes is that one hit. Here’s hoping ‘Braveheart’ is packing the heat when it hits stores on April 17th.
no!!!!!
omg the album cover is disgusting, this is going to be one flop album. I predict this will flop harder than ciara and I don’t say that often.
I think I only heard her song once on the radio and that was an urban radio station.
I think since her and Ja rule are both in trouble they should team up and make those hits we all love.
Ashanti is a pretty Gurl but this Cover is a real Mess..Lipstick LIKE THAT ON MY D***? naw!…
Yasss…Blue Ivy’s Aunty better work this cover!
The name is the album is dope but that cover…. What kinda flop photoshoot
is it just me or does this album cover look like Keyshia Cole’s last album? I do hope it is successful.
The album cover is not that good! She can do better than that. The promo photos she’s released are sooo much better! The album will a big flop! Why? Because she’s irrelevant these days. She’s now an indie artist and the R&B music she’s making is not that popular anymore. I predict 13,000 for first-week sales LOL!
This cover is all wrong NO! NO! NO! That blue lip stick just mess it all up
#icant please ashanti don’t go threw with this
Awful Ashanti this album will sale 9,000 the first week 13,000 is to much teyah
A Mess.
i like it.
Ashanti better changes this album cover.The lead single is boring enough ugh 😕
TGJ please stop,Bey & rih are where they are because they are f****** (with) the same man.It was once Jlo and ashanti’s world so give her a break.Always mentioning those 2 mtfs
Those eyelashes are totally not worth it and the lip stick????? Did dis woman get poisoned???? And the hair…………..god bless david…….looks like a rat rolled around in it and the braid is not really serving a purpose and lastly she isnt recognisable.
Conclusion: its not just a mess and a dam hot mess
I keep hearing her new single on pandora all the time. |-:
@Relevant vs. irrelevant
LOL I guess your right
This is NOT the official album cover. This is simply a promotional picture for the album. The album cover will be revealed in the coming weeks.
ewwww – why is her single cover of better quality and standard than her album cover – makes no sense, please Ashanti change it!!!
That album cover alone makes me want nothing to do with this album, lol. Let alone her recent songs …
I like it’s very different for her and since when did a album cover make up an artist sales?? Last time I checked Rihanna, Beyonce etc.. album covers look a d@#m mess just saying!! But I think once she release her video and have an actual performance on a big venue she be back in the game… Go ashanti im now a fan!!
You’re right he should mention Kat Deluna…..LOLOLOLOOOL
Lmfaoooo This Is Just A Mess ! My Faves Would/Could Never Try This Anywho I Hope Her Vocals/Songs Are Up To Par Or Else She Will Be Continued To Be Known As FLOP-Anti 🙂

hate it. hate it. the look is wrong. the title is wrong, the over is wrong.
Reconsider, Ashanti, this is NOT it.
Reminds me of Kelis’ Fleshtone
She needs major label support and thats the bottom line.
Love Ashanti…I will be buying the CD
Ashanti is soooo 2003. Much like Ciara she does not have much of a voice to speak of, and she really is not all that interesting. What is her selling point?
Yessssssssssss my princess coming back to snatch wigs,,,
Hmmmm… very much dislike the cover, tacky.
But love Ashanti so I hope it will do good for her, she needs to promote, and make sure she gets that video out!
This is not the album cover…

The album title and cover are awful. Label problems are not even an issue when the artist has judgment and taste that are that bad. No.
mua
eres fantastica
I think she looks pretty and its and interesting photo but I DON’T like it as an album cover. The braid and what you can see of the outfit looks too “Xena Warrior Princess-ish”. THAT coupled with the title Braveheart just comes off kinda corny and gimmicky. That photo should be a promo pic and thats about it. As an album cover the blue lipstick and the outfit can go. Face is majorly and properly beat though! That Avatar mouth just isn’t right.
THIS IS NOT THE ALBUM COVER, IF U GUYS MUST KNOW LMAO SO YEA……. FAIL, THIS IS A SHOT FROM HER NEW VIDEO “THE WOMAN YOU LOVE” SMH
we need more brave ladies in the R&B world right now…. i think the title is great and the cover is appropriate….
This is a promo shot from the set of her video, not the album cover, you idiots.
