Back to 15 New Albums Debuting This Summer

Braveheart, Ashanti

Amazon.com

Due: Aug. 28

Sizzling Songs: "The Woman You Love" feat. Busta Rhymes, "That's How We Do" feat. R. Kelly

When paired with Ja Rule, it felt like Ashanti owned about nine consecutive summers. While it seemed like forever waiting for this Braveheart album, it’s finally coming and will hopefully deliver the same spark as previous Ashanti releases. The singer has that voice that fits over R&B or hip-hop tracks perfectly and can create any mood you need. Dance, cry, dance while crying -- do whatever you want to do because Ashanti always delivers the perfect soundtrack for it.
