This album was recorded in 1997 and was supposed to be released in 1998 but never did. So now in 2005 we can listen to an album of songs that actually showcase Ashanti's voice. Can't Stop features 10 brand new songs, 9 of which are true ballads that are sung from the heart and showcase what Ashanti can really do.
