The last two releases of the house Tha Inc. (formerly Murder Inc.) comes with Lloyds "Street Love" and surprisingly pop singer Vanessa Carlton's "Heroes & Thieves", built in 2007. Ja Rule's new album "The Mirror" is for months shifted and now just brings the second top act from the house Tha Inc. first new album ... we're talking about our Princess of RnB - Ashanti. On the 13 track strong new album "The Decleration" to Producer as Akon, Jermaine Dupri, Darkchild, LT Hutton, Babyface or Channel 7 have gathered to Ashanti to give the right sound. The cameos are limited to be exact, there are only two songs that were once features RnB singer Robin Thicke and Nelly and Akon. After a short intro is great with thunderstorms, beautiful violin instrumental highlighted by the drumming leieses it goes off immediately with the first single "The Way I Love". Already from the first second carries us here a magical piano melody in his spell and begins Ashanti feelingly about smoothen Beat to present us their magnificent voice. "You gonna miss" is equipped with some electrical elements and safe is also good for the clubs. "Struggle", a dreamlike slow jam, almost ballad in going and what is Ashanti hires here with her brilliant voice with a wonderful melody Sample simply breathtaking. "Things you make me do" with Robin Thicke is also not very playful bad parents because Robin complements his great voice equally well to Ashanti and the whole song acts and soulful. "Good Good" bears, it shows from the very first sound beat clearly the handwriting of Jermaine Dupri and his beats at RnB artists always have a class of its own, you do not only since he has Mariah Carey helped back to winning ways back , "Body On Me" with Nelly and Akon is a scary happy song, with Akon is again the superb item with his bravorösen chorus, which is incidentally also a real ear worm. "Mother" and "Shine" are two ballads, which mainly Ashanti's voice comes to its full advantage, and of course may at "Mother" which was produced by Babyface Babyface's acoustic guitar and not in the form of a cool melody missing. To conclude, there then the title track "The Decleration" begins with a wild string melody and quoted something "harder" Beat ascends, a total of some acts mystical and quite one with the best tracks of the plate, because this makes Ashanti clear the She's still here. Ashanti is with her now 4th studio album managed a good album, but unfortunately the something is missing to some top RnB releases of recent years aufzuschliesen, but 4 stars are definitely in there.
