This
season, while R&B fans spin albums by Mariah, Usher and Janet, Ashanti
needs more pizazz to compete. On her fourth album, she's still doing the
diva-by-numbers thing, alternating between angry-at-her-man anthems and
lovey pleasantry. The shuffling "Body on Me," featuring Nelly and Akon,
and the shiny electro-pop "So Over You" are a step up from her Ja Rule
duets of old. But even with A-list producers like Babyface, Jermaine
Dupri and Rodney Jerkins, the beats stick to straightforward bounce or
subdued ballads. And Ashanti doesn't offer any more personality: When
she coos, "I will let you take control of what I have inside," on
"Girlfriend," it's not clear she has much inside to offer.
