Ashanti

June 2013 is going to be a great month for new music. Music lovers will receive a dose of pure pop from groups like Big Time Rush and Hanson, a fresh batch of R&B jams courtesy of Kelly Rowland and Ashanti, a bit of jazzy crooning from 'Glee' star Matthew Morrison, some new hip-hop tracks from Mac Miller and J. Cole, and a few surefire party staples from 3OH!3. So, which new music release for

Ashanti is nursing a broken heart on her first single in what feels like forever -- and by forever we mean "since 2008." 'Never Should Have' is a midtempo ballad that showcases the N.J. native's vocals more than much of her prior material, and it's quite an improvement from her most recent release.

Veteran rhyme-slinger Fat Joe gathers hip-hop heavyweights Kanye West, Busta Rhymes, DJ Khaled and others for his star-studded video for 'Pride N Joy,' his new single from his still-untitled eleventh studio album. R&B artists Miguel and Ashanti make a guest appearance in the clip as well.

This adorable pink dress seems to be a popular pick! Both Ashanti and Kelly Rowland were seen out and about wearing this fuchsia Notte by Marchesa dress with a beautiful ruffle embellishment down the body. Both singers look very pretty in pink, but the big question is: Which star wore it best?

Ashanti is one of R&B music's most beloved singers, but she's not getting any love from residents in New Jersey. The 'The Woman You Love' singer appeared at Atlantic City High School on June 1 and spoke with students about the importance of staying in school. So what's the big deal?

What do you think? Do Ashanti and Tony award-winning actress Sanaa Lathan look similar? We sure think so! To us, these stunning women resemble relatives!

Some ensembles are best left to Lady Gaga. This is a lesson Ashanti likely learned after her performance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live,' where she sported what looks like the most uncomfortable outfit in history.

Ashanti has released the video for her latest single, 'The Woman You Love,' featuring Busta Rhymes, which flashes between the singer's tumultuous relationship and a futuristic world.

Guess who's back? Ashanti makes a grand return with a bumping new song called 'The Woman You Love.' After being on a major label for several years, the R&B songbird has relaunched her career and is going the independent route with her imprint Written Entertainment through a new deal with eOne Music.

This sounds so strange that it might actually be true. With Fergie expressing a desire to have kids sooner rather than later, one website is reporting that the Black Eyed Peas have decided to give her time off and replace her with Ashanti.
