By way of numerous delays and R&B’s current standing in the Pop arena, it’s safe to say Ashanti’s ‘Braveheart’ has a long way to go before securing the support it needs to soar upon release.

However, that hasn’t stopped the native New Yorker from trying, doing so by releasing fresh artwork pulled from the LP’s campaign, perhaps hoping to generate fresh interest in the independent release.

Set to go head to head with new releases from Mary J.Blige, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, the album will mark her first since 2008’s ‘The Declaration‘, which has sold 295,000 units since its kick-off.
