Come March 4th 2014, music lovers across the globe will be able to pick up ‘Braveheart‘, the latest studio offering from R&B royal Ashanti.
An independently pushed release, the album’s arrival will follow a series of critic-baiting push backs, and 2008’s ‘The Declaration’, responsible for the L.T Hutton produced ‘The Way That I Love You.’
Today, as to give fans the opportunity to ‘try before they buy’, the singer has unlocked the album before its release, making it available for streaming via the link that awaits you below!
I heard the album and it’s cute. Nothing spectacular. She shoulda released it 3 years ago because it wasn’t worth the wait.
Its actually a pretty good album.. not sure why it took so long to come out…but i think its a solid album
I’ll support her.
@boytoy
EXACTLY
Good cd, already ordered the deluxe version from Target! i think delay comes from the fact hat she is an independent artist and she is funding the whole project out of her own pockets. Kudos to her for that!
Not a Pandora user and will not be signing up today. I made it through a few of the songs I had not heard before getting to a mandatory sign-in page.
My impressions so far:
Three Words – A (hit potential)
Love Games ft. Jeremih – C
Scars – C
@TheBoyToy Agreed. She’s kept her fans waiting so long for something that isn’t even her best work yet.
Moment of Silence. This will be one of the biggest flops this year.
The wait wasn’t worth the wait.
I simply LOVE this album!
My two favorite songs( I can’t remember the titles) are
1.) where she proclaims “I woke up like dis, I woke up like dis”
And
2.) the song where she talks about her name being on her mans mouth like liquor

I pre-ordered it from Amazon. I listened to about 3 songs on that Pandora site because the music was interrupted with them wanting me to sign up, which I didn’t do. I gotta admit that I wasn’t left terribly impressed by what I heard. The songs were only slightly OK. Here’s hoping that the rest of the album is worth the money I blindly spent on it at Amazon.
What a fucken flop ain’t nobody checking for this b**** ..not even her mom
Is that the official album cover?
Good Luck Ashanti.
I’m thinking she should drop Nowhere & Count for the best results.
Just heard 3 Words, it’s really good! That’ll get the job done too!
Okay, so I’m not the only person who couldn’t listen to the whole album on Pandora. WHY IS THIS ALBUM NOT PREVIEWED ON YOUTUBE?
She’s indie……that alone ‘saves’ her from being the biggest flop of the year. Indie artists NEVER do big/decent numbers.
Im here for it
she delivered, worth the wait. cant wait to get my copies
I’m sorry, but after the 2003 ass sounding ATROCITY that was the ‘intro/braveheart/ squawking away I had to close the window out. No ma’am. Are people still doing these types of ‘intro’ tracks. Trying to sound all deep and musical. I was SCREAMING at the echo and feedback “After all I’ve been through (BEEEN THROUGHHHHH) Have a seat girlfriend. These tacky intros and skits are yesteryear. I couldn’t listen any further. *puts on Beyonce’s album)* uhh AHHH ahhhhh
#DEAD at JER above saying intros are dated. If you would have continued you would have realized that it is merely an intro to the album. Not an intro track on the album! The intro goes into a full length album SONG.
I have liked what I have heard. Nothing was terrible to the point where I would want to never heard it ever again. Certainly from a first listen a 3.5/5 Star album for the true R&B / Ashanti / Hip Hop & R&B fans out in the world!
Wow….she looks amazing, No Nose jobs, No bleaching, No breast implants, or but pads,A naturally good looking young lady. Her lyrical content on her songs are spectacular totally caught me……will b buying my hard copies at target. Go Ashanti Braveheart !!!!!!!!
Wow this CD freakin rocks, her lyrics hit home, and best of all she wrote them………Great job Ashanti will b buying 2 copies one for me other for my sister who just had a breakup and loves Never should have.
obviously Ashanti is doing something right the amount of hate above. I can’t with grape followers sometimes. Most only support their fav’s and never give other artist’s a chance. Its a losing game for everyone who’s not plastic gummy’s.
Dont tell me no is a smash should b next single, early in the morning is beyond soothing, scars, all these tracks are amazing wish she had some heavy metal guitar strings for us heavy metal fans of her next time Ashanti ! PS would love to see an Ashanti/Prince Colloboration, that would b pure sexxxxxy vocal perfection.
Shes going to make 6 per cd she sales insted of 25 cents on a major that has a lot of overhead if she sales. 25,000 she makes 150,000
@D
What about Tyrese?
What about Macklemore & Ryan Lewis?
What about Jill Scott?
They are all Indie Artists and they all had HUGE sales. So what are you talking about?
I must say Ashanti went raw on this album I mean I didn’t even have to skip 1 song at all there all amazingly done right I will be purchasing the album.. Welcome back Ashanti I knew the wait was worth it
indie never do big numbers??? say that to macklemore. the album sound good by the way
Well her promo is the same with the other girls with major lables. So if she can do 50k or match what the Ciaras and Kellys did last year, that’s huge for an inde. But when you can write, you can go inde cause these lables arn’t doing any better.
Nothing spectacular? but its better than Beyonces latest album so yeah i think your just hating. The album shits on your life tho
Lmao you mad??? yeah i think your mad this album shits on your whole existence
Because she’s doing it without a major label backing her up. You people that don’t understand how the music industry works are always the first to hate. When you can release a masterpiece of an album like Braveheart on your own label, funding your whole project and writing every single song then come talk to me. Theres no female in the game touching Ashanti’s talent.
@ THE CAT SPEAKS
You done lost your mind. The only Independent act with huge success is Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and that was out of this world/uncommon.
Jill Scott and Tyrese have not even been minor R&B stars since around the mid 00s. They do NOT have “major success” with music. Prob more in movies now.
I don’t like it at all.
