Ashanti tells journalists that she’s headed back into the studio next month to work on her sophomore album. She said “I plan on keeping that pen going, boy, because that’s definitely where the money is, you know?”

“And I just find that, in my opinion for me, you know, you feel it more when it’s your own lyrics when you’re on stage, and you just have that passion because you know exactly what you were thinking about when you wrote that record and why, so it just brings everything together.”
