Ashanti - The Way That I Love You
Artist: Ashanti
Producer: LT Hutton
Album: The Declaration
Label: Written Entertainment/eOne
When The Inc. signed a distribution deal with Universal Motown in early 2006, the music world awaited new releases from the label’s flagship artists, Ja Rule and Ashanti. In early 2007 both were supposed to drop their new albums; neither has celebrated a release. With Rule tentatively set to release The Mirror in March, Ashanti plans to trail close behind and drop her newest offering, The Declaration, soon after. Since the first two choices (Switch and Hey Baby) for a buzz single didn’t pan out, Ashanti has released her latest try, The Way That I Love You. With a piano-laced beat that could make Alicia Keys shed a tear, Ashanti does away with the club production and aims for higher ground. Tune in this spring to find out if - and when - Ashanti will declare her love.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart

I like the production, good effort by Ashanti to say the least, especially after she fell out a while ago. At least it seems like her vocals have improved from before.

Can Ashanti regain her stature with the overwhelming emergence Rihanna and Keyshia Cole? She has stepped her game up on this record and it is clearly the best effort out of the three, but I'm still not fully convinced that the entire Murder family can take the industry by storm like they once did before.

Production is classy! Definitely deserves a listen. I mostly like the piano, like you hear it in the end. Ashanti did her thing on this, not a thing to complain about. I’ll give her props. And she looks so sexy in that picture (and short too :p)!!

Nice track, but it's still barely there. It should be a hit though. A nice video would boost the popularity of this track, they're still a lot of Ashanti fans out there.

Honestly, I think the Inc. click still has a fighting chance at coming back very very strong with Lloyd, Ashanti, and even Ja Rule making better than average tracks lately. This track is something different for a single from Ashanti and I think it is done pretty well. Nice song all together. In rotation!

I think Ashanti's time has passed...this new material isn't up to standards...switch wasn't all that despite Nelly ft on the track and this isn't much better.Very disappointing.

After all of the times that we've tried I found out we were living a lie And after all of this love that we made I found out you don't love me the same The way that I love The way that I love you The way that I love The way that I love you The way that I love The way that I love you I woke up kinda early today And something told me from that moment It wouldn't be the same It felt like you were hiding something But I didn't push it I didn't complain or say nothin I triedacted like I didn't see it Cause deep down I knew I didn't want to believe it But there it was, it was you and her You left your sidekick on the nightstand And I read Everything you did, and everything you said and And now I'm standing here looking like damn.. I thought it was you and I Now I all I got to say is why? After all of the time that we've tried I found out we were living a lie And after all of this love that we made I know now you don't love me the same The way that I love The way that I love you The way that I love The way that I love you The way that I love The way that I love you I notice now, that when I am around You be trying to lock the door [The Way I Love You lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com] Whispering on the phone Now wait a minute since we been in this house You ain't never did this before Tell me what's this about? I tried to sit and say to myself This here is too good he don't want nothing else But there it was, it was you and her You left your credit card receipt inside the beamer babe Everything you bought her, and everything you spending Now I'm standing here once again I thought it was you and I Now I all I have to say is why? After all of the times that we've tried I found out we were living a lie And after all of this love that we made I know now you don't love me the same The way that I love The way that I love you The way that I love The way that I love you The way that I love The way that I love you You Lied, You lied, Oh Why? Why'd you have to lie to me? Why'd you have to lie to me? Why'd you have to lie to me? Why? After all of the times that we've tried I found out we were living a lie And after all of this love that we made I know now you don't love me the same The way that I love The way that I love you The way that I love The way that I love you The way that I love The way that I love you |
