Ashanti Suddenly Seems Important Again

Singer Ashanti hadn’t released an album since 2008 before this year’s BraveHeart, but six years can almost be an eternity when it comes to a music industry that is packed with young, sexy singers. So because one always has to do with the other, Ashanti posted some photos on Instagram of her in bikinis by the pool this weekend with the hashtag BraveHeart on them, as if to say, “You should buy my new album because I’m kind of trying to show you my vagina in this one photo collage.” Whether or not the idea will work is up to her fans, but seeing as this might be the first time that I’ve ever thought about Ashanti in my life, I’d say that it has been an incredible success so far.
