The beats are uneinfallsreich, just like the lyrics, though none of the two is really bad. The album simply lack the originality, that special something of each song. But somehow the album droning just so incidentally, without one really knows what number song it is or how it was before.
Conclusion: Can not inspire me and does not remain in the ear (and not in a CD player). Ashanti's Talent can only be guessed vague in this pabulum. This can become a thousand times better other R'n'B singers.
