“They
said, 'just do one song,' and I was like, 'uh-uh. I ain't just doing
one song.'” Ashanti oozes sass and
showmanship in a black dress, Aviators and a white pilot cap, chewing
gum as she talks to us.
It's
past 2am in The Milton Club on
Manchester's Deansgate and we've been waiting for the R'n'B singer to
come out for over 2 hours, not that we mind as the music and
atmosphere are great anyway, and the club's heaving with people. DJ
Vinnie B has kept with the retro theme spinning old-school garage
tracks during the build-up. But Ashanti- whose self-titled
triple-platinum album came out 15 years ago, she reminds us- tops the
night off singing her hits Foolish, Happy and What's Love.
Ashanti
is a genuine entertainer, not to mention stunning and a great live
singer. Her performance was short, but dynamic. I'm glad I caught it.
I
went with Manchester Cool Bars,
and it was another great meetup with this gang. There's another big
name singer coming to the club in April- we might be going, so keep
your eye on the site.
Milton
Club's Truth album is
here.
great
