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.

Prod.By Irv Gotti. Guests: Ja Rule, Lloyd

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).

1 star 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.

Ciara Goodies CD  (2004)

Concrete Rose album
CD $8.99  3.9 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
As a rare female voice in the world of crunk, Ciara is in the unique position to offer a counterpoint to the multitude of hits like Lil Jon's "Get Low" and Petey Pablo's "Freek-a-Leek," which feature men going into clubs and calling out any attractive female. On Ciara's breakout single, "Goodies," the singer coos sultrily--but forcefully--about her independence and how she refuses to be treated like an object, even enlisting the aforementioned Lil Jon and Pablo help out, producing and guest rapping, respectively. It's no wonder "Goodies" was a 2004 summer smash, with its singularly disarming combination of an empowering message backed by an intoxicatingly sexy beat. Ciara's debut record takes its name and direction from the aforementioned hit, backing up her outstanding single with a slew of aggressive, seductive dance-floor hits cut by sweet ballads (a la Beyonce), as the vocalist asserts both her self-dominion and her natural vulnerability. It certainly doesn't hurt to have a friend in Jazze Pha, one of the ...

CD $6.75  3.8 stars Top 100 Audio Samples
Destiny's Child has been no stranger to controversy, and with three years of silence and three solo records following 2001's SURVIVOR, one might infer that the act was on the fast track to dissolution. The group's fourth record, 2004's DESTINY FULFILLED, put to rest any such ideas, as the now-solid three-woman lineup of Beyonce Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams offers up another helping of winsome R&B songs marked by a pop sensibility. DESTINY FULFILLED opens on an ...

Snoop Dogg R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece CD  (2004)

Concrete Rose album
CD $11.05  3.4 stars Audio Samples
Easily Snoop's most diverse album, R&G slips from solidly street-oriented tracks to purely fun tunes, with moments both sensual and silly that add up to what's almost a concept record. Snoop has always been a master of squaring a mellow melody with his hardcore edge, but he reaches new heights on R&G, particularly on the Neptunes-assisted single ...

Tupac Loyal To The Game CD  (2004)

Concrete Rose CD music
CD $10.45  3.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
Eminem's trademarked heavily syncopated sound provides an almost surreal sheen to the proceedings, and Em's voice graces the strong opening track, "Soldier Like Me (AKA The Return of the Soulja)." The guests run the gamut from 2Pac contemporaries Nate Dogg and members of the fallen rapper's crew, the Outlawz, to relative newcomers Jadakiss and G-Unit, but all performances are solid and requisitely reverent to the memory of Tupac Shakur. LOYAL TO THE GAME simply combines strong remaining lyrics of a late master with newer ones, and stands as one of the best posthumous 2Pac releases. P/A. All Prev.Unrel.Tracks. W/ 50 ...

Original Musiquarium I
Stevie Wonder Original Musiquarium I CDs  (1982) Remastered

Concrete Rose songs
CD $20.79  5 stars Top 500 Audio Samples Definitive Album
Digitally remastered by Kevin Reeves (Universal Mastering Studios East). You can divide Stevie Wonder's career into two basic parts--pre-1971, when he was recording delirious soul singles at Motown's bidding, and post-1971, when he was awarded artistic control and proceeded to make some of the greatest socially-conscious music ever committed to tape, while still keeping up the delirious soul content. ORIGINAL MUSIQUARIUM covers the cream of part two, and is therefore the cream of Stevie Wonder. It's the rare greatest-hits album that zeroes in on its subject's actual best work with almost surgical focus, and includes new recordings that actually belong there. The new ones include the dance hit "Do I Do" and the timeless ballad "Ribbon In The Sky." The certified classics include "Living For The City" and "Superstition" in the heavy-meaning department, "Sir Duke" and "Master Blaster" in the pure-joy department and "You Are The Sunshine Of My Life" in the hello-Mr.-Sinatra-we've-got-a-tune-for-you department. If you don't already own all of them, you might as well stop reading this and pick up this album now. That's an ...

Ten years from now, when the current vogue for smartypants non sequitur song titles has passed, everyone will look back on songs called "The Dark Side of Indoor Track Meets" and "How They Made Cameras" and shake their heads in mild embarrassment. What will remain, and what will determine whether the next generation decides the music of the early 21st century is worth reviving, are the hooks -- if there are any. Falling Up know about revival, and know about hooks, and on their third album of ...
