ASHANTI won the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary R&B Album.
Ashanti was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Best New Artist. "Foolish" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Award for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance.
The young R&B thrush Ashanti makes an impressive showing on her self-titled debut album. Unlike many of her peers, Ashanti doesn't resort to vocal histrionics; this siren is more concerned with communicating the emotion of a song than showing off her chops. In fact, the reigning mood on this disc is a gauzy, slow-burn feel that makes the most of Ashanti's sensual, low-key style. Often she seems to be whispering right into your ear. Though there's an undercurrent of hip-hop-influenced production, that simmering, late-night feel remains consistent through the torch ballad "Foolish" (when will these spurned lovers learn?), the considerably less tortured "Happy," and the irresistible come-on of "Movies." Perhaps most telling of all, however, is the closing track "Thank You," which affords us the opportunity to hear Ashanti sing unaccompanied, revealing in plain sight the considerable pipes whose strength she tastefully downplays to fine effect throughout ASHANTI.

Ashanti Music Review
Average Rating: (3.3 out of 5 stars)   List All 70 Reviews Wow
I must admit I was surprised at how well written and thought out this project is; I was not a believer in Ashanti, but there is not one song on this piece that I do not like. You go girl! You made a believer out of me.

Tasteful
I was impressed when I heard Ashanti's Album. I purchased it based on her singing with JARULE, and her song Foolish. I love her song Foolish...alot of women go through the same situation that she does in that song. She has a soulful voice, and has an elegance with her style of singing. I think she will make it in the music industry and hope to hear more from her. I would recommend her album to family and friends.

 No good
she can't sing, just listen to her song "Thank You" pretty much says it all. And most of the songs are pure fluff...What was with "Movies"? like is she for real?

CERTIFIED GOLD ITS 1ST WEEK, HAS BEYONCE OR RHIANNA DONE THT
STOP THE HATING. SHE HAS HER OWN SOUND, SHE'S NOT TRYN TO BE LIKE NO ONE AND SHE'S DEFINITELY NOT A SWAGGER JACKER. I WOULD RATHER LISTEN TO ASHANTI THAN LISTEN TO BEYONCE YELLING ALL OVER A TRACK AND RHIANNA NON SINGING BEHIND!!!!!!!!!!!
