Ashanti released her brand new single “Never Should Have” last week, and revealed that her oft-delayed fifth album was set for release this June. Today, the R&B songstress has announced the new official release for Braveheart.
The follow-up to 2008’s The Declaration will arrive on June 11 via Written Entertainment/eOne Music. The album has already spawned the Busta Rhymes-assisted single “The Woman You Love,” “That’s What We Do” with R. Kelly, “No One Greater” featuring Meek Mill & French Montana and the new heartfelt ballad “Never Should Have.”
A video for the latter was recently shot in Santa Barbara, CA, with director Sanji Senaka (Common, Jennifer Lopez) and will premiere later this month.
“It’s something for women, just being empowering. This album is something very deep,” Ashanti previously said of the project, which features production from Jerry Wonda, Detail, and Sak Pase. “I’m going places that I haven’t gone on different albums.”
Ashanti can also be seen as a regular on “Army Wives,” airings Sundays at 9 p.m. on Lifetime.
