R&B princess trails the pack on follow-up album
Ashanti's second album is filled with the same beat-driven, slickly produced midtempo tracks and ballads that made up her debut. There are no lazy, huge-chunk samples of hip-hop classics this time around, but the disc's best moments have a decidedly old-school feel to them: "I Found Lovin' " recalls Seventies-era Deniece Williams; "Breakup 2 Makeup" is a low-cal take on Chaka Khan's soul classic "Sweet Thing," and "The Story of 2" is girl-group doo-wop. Still, dullard schoolgirl insights into
love and heartache dominate the album; add some boring between-song skits about "haters," and
Chapter II wears thin long before its halfway mark.
