Ashanti gave a stunning performance of her hit single “The Way That I Love You” on April 18th at 107.9 Atlanta’s Hot On The Runway fashion show. I have to admit in the beginning I couldn’t tell whether Ashanti was lip synching or not, and as a Janet fan how can I even complain if she was (lol), but by the end I was sure she was singing live to a back-up track and she really nailed this song. This is a great performance that really showcases her vocal range quite well. Check it out for yourselves above and to keep load time down I resized this clip, distorting the quality just a bit.

Ashanti returns to the Urban Top 10 for the first time in more than three years, as “The Way That I Love You” (Universal Motown) vaults 14-8. The 27-year-old last ranked in the top 10 with the No. 10-peaking “Only U” in January 2005. “Way” becomes Ashanti’s 14th top 10, extending her mark for most top 10 songs by a female this decade. Beyonce, Ciara and Mary J. Blige share second place with 10 apiece. Among all artists, Ludacris leads with 20 in that span. Ashanti is also scheduled to perform at “Good Morning America’s Summer Concert Series” on June 6th. The performances run from 8:30 - 9:00 a.m, featuring a set of three-four songs. The event will be held in New York’s Bryant Park this year. Ashanti’s fourth studio album, “The Declaration,” is due June 3.

As its title suggests,
Ashanti’s new “The Declaration” is in many ways about womanhood and empowerment, which led the Long Island, N.Y., native to work with new producers. The set is due June 3rd via The Inc./Universal Motown. “It’s been a long time coming for change, and the timing was just right,” she tells
Billboard.com. First single “The Way That I Love You,” is No. 18 on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart this week. Robin Thicke, Jermaine Dupri, LT Hutton, Babyface, and Pharrell Williams are among the album’s producers.

Singer Ashanti was on MTV’s TRL today and unveiled the official video for her new single, The Way That I Love You. As previously reported, the first version of this video was the the appetizer and this new version is apparently the main course. Check it out for yourselves below and let me know what you think.

Oh my gosh- what is going on here? Nope, it’s not what you might think. Ashanti hasn’t gone and pulled a Lil Kim or Foxy Brown or Eve or Vivica- ok you get the point (lol). No, this sista has only gone loco on camera and the faux mug shot to your right is a newly released image from the new/remix version of Ashanti’s single “The Way That I Love You”. Word has it the first version was not the “official” but rather just a leaked version to peak interest in the song. Whatever the case, Ashanti tells MTV that her inspiration for this new video was the show “Snapped” which comes on the Oxygen Network. Snapped is about abused women who- you guessed it- SNAP and take matters into their own hands. Expect the new version of the “The Way That I Love You” to debut tomorrow and you have to give it to Ashanti and her camp- they know how to peak the interest off fans and non fans alike. Can’t wait to see this…

Here is the new video for Ashanti’s first single, “The Way That I Love You”. The video in my opinion is just awesome. The concept is captivating and immediately grabs you, just as the video for “Rain On Me” did so many years ago. Check it out below and good luck to Ashanti. This is without a doubt one of the better videos I have seen by a female R n’ B artist in quite some time.
