Is she really going forward with the Re-recording?

It looks even better.

I never understand why she fell out of the face of the Earth so suddenly back then. She was like just POOF! Is it her association with Ja Rule around the time he was arrested and jailed? 

[DuffStan]

Ashanti previously announced that she would re-record her eponymous debut studio album, which turned 20 this year, and is now commenting on how Taylor Swift affected her decision to re-record her old albums.

The Grammy winner told Metro.co.uk, "I've always had the idea to go back in and re-record and gain the masters," but said she felt "empowered" in her decision to do so by Swift's decision to re-record her first six albums.

A business move.  She wants people to listen to the new version because she now has her own label, so she’ll get more profit.  

The re-recorded album is already available via NFT I believe.  Wonder if it’ll be available on streaming soon.  
 

I like the original cover, honestly.  I feel like it’s inevitable that it’ll be way different…given the years in between.  So I would’ve rather her intentional try something new but just nod to her debut album cover slightly.

Yes.  Basically the label folded as a result of the legal hot water Irv Gotti (CEO) got into.  He’s STILL bitter about her leaving til this day

 

But unfortunately, by the time she left…the damage to her career had already been done.

That is sad, hope she will get second wind.

Also, since it is in fashion these days for younger singer to collab with their older contemporary, someone need to do this with Ashanti!

Agree.  Too much makeup or too much Photoshop. It’s not BAD, just not better IMO. 
 

That’s why I think she should’ve done something different, but just a slight nod to the debut album. 

[Аshanti]

a Legend.

[Devin]

20 years later and she still looks good.
