The Rundown: Ashanti, Braveheart

A track-by-track look at the songbird's fifth solo album.

"Intro – Braveheart" - Ashanti introduces her new LP with this brash opener. Laced with shimmering synth work and a booming 808 metered with finger snaps, the R&B diva sings of fighting for her true love.  (Photo: Giovanni Rufino/NBC/NBCU Photo Bank)
"No Where" - This cut, with its bombastic bass and cascading piano, conjures the idea of an unbreakable love as Ashanti belts out that she will stick by her man through the peaks and valleys of life.  (Photo: Moses Robinson/Getty Images)
"Runaway" - "Even if you try to move on," Ashanti sings to a lover who's not acting right. "Ain't another — you'll find — will do what I do." Just as bold as the singer's lyrics is the towering rhythm that fuels the head-nod factor of this track.  (Photo: Bennett Raglin/BET/Getty Images for BET)
"Count" - With this cut, the LP officially arrives at the club banger with Ashanti flaunting in-your-face sexuality. "Dollars ain't nothin," she chants. "Bottles ain't nothin. If you see something just push the button."
