Customer comments on this selection.
 I expected more
This album was just ok. No song really popped at me asbeing a "hit". Ashanti needs to reinvent her style and music quick. I give this album 2/5 stars.
 excellent cd
i'm 22 both me and my 58 year old roommate love the sounds of this cd.
 Very Nice.
I really liked this album, the songs are well produced and Ashanti's voice has matured since her first album. She has really gorwn up and listening to the album I can tell that she is serious about her career. She looks and sound amazing and no matter what people say about Ashanti and that includes Irv Gotti, Ashanti's "The Declaration is HOTT!!
Song I like: Good Good, Mother just to name a few.
 The Declaration
I had a difficult time reviewing this offering by Ashanti because after such a lengthy absence I expected her to come back harder - I expected an edgy album that'd re-introduce Ashanti to the music world and that it'd be a true "declaration" that she was BACK! I felt such high anticipation after the video & single, THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU were released - a lot of people who'd written her off loved the track and were curious about how the entire album would sound.
I'm not anti-Ashanti either, I've always loved her style & attitude and although she's not the best singer, her songs for the most part are fun and quite enjoyable. I like that she cut out the skits and doesn't have a lot of guest rappers on the project BUT she played it way to safe and stayed in that hip-pop lane without bringing anything new to the genre.
The only standout track to me is: THE WAY THAT I LOVE YOU
The "ok" tracks that I think are very "radio friendly" are: YOU'RE GONNA MISS, GOOD GOOD, STRUGGLE, IN THESE STREETS & BODY ON ME (although I can't stand Akon)
The last two tracks of mention are exceptional lyrically but don't do much for me otherwise: MOTHER - a very sweet & heartfelt tribute to her Mom but it's too indulgent a track and THE DECLARATION - on which Ashanti speaks frankly about her career.
I was hoping for so much more from her but I can recommend that only fans who want to complete their Ashanti collection get the whole disc otherwise, check out the singles and purchase what you like.
Shanti Definitely Did Her Thing With This One !
I Absolutly Love This Album ! Ashanti Did Her Thing With This Album, Her Vocals Are Crazy ( Amazingly Good) The Songs Are Hot. You're Gonna Miss Is A Banger As Well As Girlfriend, So Over You, Struggle, Good Good & Many Others. She Has These Two Beautiful Songs On The Album Called Mother & Shine. Ashanti's The Declaration Is A Must Have, Just Like Solange's New Album Sol-Angel & The Hadley Street Dreams ! Go Get Both !
