Album Spotlight: Ashanti - Concrete Rose

-
Hey! I could of did a spotlight on Ashanti's self-titled debut album but personally I wasn't even in to her at that time. I didn't become an Ashanti fan until the 'Concrete Rose' album which was released back in 2004. Man! It's been a long time!

I think I started liking Ashanti once a lot of the hate started to dog her real bad. I just found myself gravitating towards her and becoming anti-Beyonce[no offense Beyonce fans].

The debut single here[and practically only single] was the hit 'Only U' which went to #10 R&B and #13 R&B. It was Ashanti's last big hit until 'The Way That I Love You' came four years later.

I just really like the music here on this album. I think its cool, smooth, and seductive. My favorite songs are 'Focus', 'U', and so many more. I can't even think of the name of the songs right now. Ashanti; at the time felt like this was her best work. Most artists feel their current work is their best work so can you blame her?

Like the other Ashanti albums before this one; 'Concrete Rose' was certified platinum and I even remember buying it from Wal-Mart. I even remember telling my sister how much I liked this album that she eventually became to like it herself. Make sure you check out Ashanti's 'Concrete Rose' if you haven't already.

You all, my readers, my visitors; my supporters; you have made this post one of the most successful posts on my blog. I kept wondering what it was about this post, that made it so successful; one word: JANET! The fact that Janet has new music on the way makes this post even more of a hot topic. As its been said before, no one sings about sex quite like Janet Jackson. Her songs, ooze with the right amount of sexuality perfect for a night of steamy sex. Take a look back at a number of songs Janet is responsible for delivering her in trademark breathy delivery. I took the liberty of adding a few other songs that didn't make the list before.  "Warmth" This song begins with echos of Janet saying "...in my mouth". By then you should already know what this song is about. Janet sings about the "warmth" of her mouth and how she pleases her lover; Jermaine Dupri at the time. This is a very sensual song and it is one of the most explicit Janet has ever record
