Ashanti turns another page in her career with this, her sophomore set. The follow-up to the artist’s multi-platinum self-titled debut, ”Chapter II” doesn’t stray too far from its predecessor. Lead single ”Rock Wit U (Awww Baby),” with its lightweight R&B vibe, follows a similar formula that turned previous singles like ”Baby” and ”Happy” into crossover hits. Ashanti gets personal on the midtempo ”Living My Life.” The autobiographical song gives listeners a look inside the heart and soul of this rising starlet. While these tracks prove to be Ashanti’s strong suit, the songstress falters on a cover of the Fatback Band classic ”I Found Lovin’.” While she makes an admirable attempt, her take lacks the flavor and sparkle of the original. Aptly named, ”Chapter II” is definitely from the same songbook.—RH

上年Ashanti憑Foolish紅爆RnB界
第一次出碟就紅左
真係令人羨慕
而家出第二隻碟啦
佢個樣唔知點解靚左咁多
仲記得係Foolish個MTV度
佢都唔係咁既樣既...
真係人紅左,有左錢,個樣點執都得
你話幾咁好丫,好羨慕呀!!!
不過個樣係點都唔緊要啦
佢有既係實力~~~
Chapter II同Chapter I好唔同(我自己覺得)
因為我覺得 Chapter I唔係咁好聽
而家紅左,d歌好聽好多...
雖然隻碟有幾隻歌走番80’s 少女式RnB
有d老土(track4,5,11,13係老土代表)
但好好聽 (原來track5係重唱,唔怪之咁老土)
Ashanti把聲好甜,Chapter I都唔覺的
聽完track3-Rock Wit U (Awww Baby)
track9-Feel So Good
同track12-Ohhh Ahhh就會知...
唔使睇MV就咁聽都會流鼻血

我睇過幾本雜誌
都將Ashanti同我既偶像Beyonce比較
因為佢地出碟時間相差一個禮拜以內
仲有一個原因,係佢地都係RnB勁人~!
(Beyonce勁d啦梗係,淨係比舞已經唔夠鬥啦)
其實chapter II唔應該同Dangerously in Love比
因為Dangerously in Love(除了RnB,還有很多其他元素)既風格完全唔同..
不過chapter II都係一張好RnB碟
