R&B superstar ashanti beamed from the stage but sang what sometimes felt like 30 second snippets of her hits at a late-breaking SXSW show.
Early aughties R&B superstar Ashanti beamed from the stage at the Empire Garage on Tuesday night, but spent just moments on each song, singing what sometimes felt like 30 second snippets of her hits at a late-breaking South by Southwest show.
The Long Island songstress’ plans to re-record her eponymous 2002 debut, whose masters are variously reported as hers and still not hers. That Murda Inc.
All an energized business mogul, the Grammy-award winning singer reminded the audience of proud accomplishments: a Guinness World Record , an upcoming star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, things she can “add to her little stats,” she said, thanking the house, who stuck their phones up to record and allow those of us in the back to see the stage through a hundred tiny screens. Ashanti, singing into a jeweled microphone, ran through “Foolish” and “Happy” from her debut.
“We all go through the same things,” she said, introducing a vocal powerhouse rendition of her Busta Rhymes collab “The Woman You Love” in which he stretched an a capella high note for over 10 seconds to loud applause. That discourse was about love and relationships, but also stood as an example of the now commonly recognized artist’s struggle to get money made from their own work.
