There are many successful strategies in the music business. One of the more popular tactics is to feature a second single that contrasts dramatically with the first release off an album (i.e. Trina‘s Single Again and I Gotta Thang For You). Sticking with what has worked, Universal Motown artist Ashanti has followed up her “woman scorned” ballad, The Way That I Love You, with a tale of the Good Good she offers her man nightly. Jermaine Dupri‘s mid-tempo beat is the polar opposite of Way‘s heart-pounding background, making Good Good a perfect single to set satisfied lovers apart from those scorned. Ashanti’s fourth studio album, The Declaration, is now available in stores and online.
Note: The streaming of “Good Good” has temporarily been suspended.
JD brought the heat with this one! This is one of the many songs on this album that I like. In fact one of my tope 3 on the album. Things you make me do is the ONE though. She gotta make that a single. That song is a classic. This one bangs though.
Ashanti is as talented as ever and I really feel like her album shouldn't have been received so poorly sales wise. Jermaine Dupri always shines on these radio-friendly R&B tracks and Ashanti flows wonderfully on the piano melody.
I think this production from JD is exactly what Ashanti needs. A insanely popular formula in the industry right now is to create a funny or catchy word or phrase that listeners can get attached to (see Ray-J's Gifts, Soulja Boy's Yahh, Lil Wayne Lollipop, VIC Get Silly, etc) I can def see this bringing Ashanti's name somewhat back to reality. Teenage girls all over will be rockin this.
When it started I thought it wasn't my type of song, but actually it is decent! Not the best in my opinion, but still in rotation...reminds me of Touch My Body by Mariah, even though this one is better to me!
Jermaine Dupri's production was cleverly solid as usual. Ashanti comes nice on here, but I agree jesavail02, Ashanti's album didn't exceed her potential like it should have. This is a solid track though. Jermaine Dupri always puts together great radio tracks and serves them nicely with backgrounds ands stuff. I'll put this in rotation.
I wouldn't be surprised if this was a leftover from the heap of production work that was offered up to Mariah first (good call DJJ). This is catchy and will have no problem finding a home at radio the rest of the summer. Will it help her album sales, though, I don't know?
does anyone think of Djs when making an album only 3 tracks on here i`d mess with, how are we meant to get ppl off the wall an shake their booty not something i`d grab for my crate but she got tallent that cant be taken away
