Ashanti’s fifth album shares the same name as a popular ’90s film, but that’s all The BoomBox can divulge at the moment. Fans will have to wait until tomorrow to learn the name of her forthcoming LP, which will be announced in the video for her Busta Rhymes-assisted single “The Woman You Love.”
The 31-year-old R&B chanteuse disclosed that information during an album listening session Tuesday (March 6) at Jungle City Studios in New York City. Dressed in a tan ensemble, her wrists and fingers adorned with glittering jewelry, Ashanti went through 11 tracks, noting the sonic change in her current project compared to 2008′s Declaration. “I think there are songs that are very different, ‘Declaration’ told a story — read the tracklisting. This record, I went for drum-heavy and melodies. There are more street records.”

Singer/Songwriter and R&B vixen Keri Hilson has been out of the spotlight for a moment, taking time to enjoy family, life and work at her own pace. Recently speaking with AOL’s TheBoombox, Hilson revealed some slight details on her forthcoming third album.
Fantasia certainly wasn’t shy in calling out R.Kelly for a mediocre performance. While both entertainers were slated for a sold out Blake Hotel concert. R.Kelly decided to only give fans two classics before leaving the venue with no explanation.
Apparently, R.Kelly’s abrupt exit was a result of contractual agreements not being met. It seems that a lack of hotel arrangements, transportation, pay and not even being a hired act but a co-host are strong grounds for a disappearing act. Fantasia promptly took the stage, making no amends for R.Kelly and saying “I come to give your moneys worth. I find it a little disrespectful when things happen like that…” She was making a good point with her loyalty standing completely with the fans and their enjoyment until it was revealed that R.Kelly was not a featured performer.
