Here, Ashanti retains the tenderness that she built her reputation on, but proves she's unafraid to take chances on this always-engaging, often-surprising record. She opens with the slow-groove ballad, "Still Down," but swiftly ups the ante with the borderline-industrial "Only U," with its dark, thrashing keyboards tempered by a sweet message of sensual love. Ashanti also flirts with the styles of Jill Scott and Angie Stone on the empowering, neo-soul number "Don't Let Them" and sings over an almost-surreal harp melody on "Every Lil' Thing." With CONCRETE ROSE, Ashanti takes on many new musical elements, adding to both her appeal and her artistic depth.
While Ashanti emerged from the fierce world of the Murder Inc. label and has continued to ally herself with Irv Gotti and his posse, she has always possessed a downy softness untouched by the controversy swirling around her circle. As Ashanti explains the title of her third proper studio record, CONCRETE ROSE, it represents her dual existence in the gritty street life of hip-hop and the gentler world of R&B. While hip-hop eases its way into her music, it is not the main driving force (a la Mary J. Blige); with Ashanti, hip-hop is peppered into her music, informing her evocations of desire, hope, and regret.

Personnel: Ashanti (vocals); Ja Rule, T.I., Lloyd, 7 Aurelius (rap vocals); Seven (various instruments); Shawn Smith, Sharod Barnes (guitar); Bill Sample (Hammond b-3 organ); Jerry Barnes (bass instrument).

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  SHE STILL SOUNDS LIKE SH!T, BECAUSE...
HELL NA'! This girl can not sing! She still acts like she's too cute to "SANG"! As a singer myself, when you sing, you're not supposed to strain your voice! Also, she DOES NOT have to ability to vocalize a RUN! A run is when your vocals HAS the ability to go up and down - WITHOUT RUNNING OUT OF BREATH!
Especially when she sings live, whoo, just terrible to the ears! Just listening to the samples was terrible.
JaRule did no justice to being on her album, maybe next time. I guess she'd better stick to the porno she's been doing.
