Braveheart

A defiant pivot toward independent R&B. Airy soprano vocals meet 2010s trap-pop production in a cinematic statement of resilience and self-ownership.

It's Ashanti's 'indie' warrior moment where she trades the summer vibes for some serious late-night trap-R&B grit.

A resilient and slightly cold urban R&B journey that balances defensive bravado with late-night introspection.

Moments Worth Waiting For

The cinematic, sweeping intro that sets a warrior-like tone before the trap beats kick in

The way her breathy soprano sharpens into a defiant edge during the chorus of Never Should Have

Rick Ross's gravelly verse providing a heavy anchor to the airy, synth-driven bounce of I Got It
