Three strikes and you’re out!
That very well might have been the case for R&B starlet Ashanti’s
new album if her current single, “The Way That I Love You” didn’t
catch on. Remember her other singles, “Switch” and “Hey Baby (After
The Club)”? Probably not, and that’s exactly why I’ve brought up the
three strike rule. But then again maybe we should be asking why someone
over at The Inc. still has their job?
I have always liked Ashanti
from day one when I heard her first single “Foolish.” I
have even found myself in numerous conversations defending her talent
and singing abilities. I’m glad that she is back, and this time around
her timing is a little better. Whether her label admits it or not releasing
her album when her biggest competition (Beyonce Knowles) is currently
taking a break from the studio and filming a movie is good idea. This
presents the opportunity for Ashanti to creep back in the limelight
and grab some shine.
“The Way That I Love You”
is a hot single. It hits home for both men and women who have ever been involved
in a relationship only to find out that their significant other doesn’t
share the same feelings.I must admit I absolutely adore the creativity
put forth for in the video for the song. They say the third time is
a charm, and for Ashanti, “The Way That I Love You” proves to
be just that!
