Ashanti’s in London to check out potential dancers for the video for her new single Only You.

She’ll be judging the final of MTV’s Shakedown. The winner gets the chance to star with her in the video. The singer promises it’ll be a very different concept but the final video plan is under wraps.

She’s also been working on several feature films one with Denzel Washington; as previously reported she’s also starring alongside Aishwariya Rai in a Bollywood style movie, Bride And Prejudice and she’s also been filming the new Muppets movie in Vancouver.

Ashanti says her new album, which is due out in November, is treading new ground:

“Definitely with the album, it’s a new direction but it’s still your signature Ashanti.”

“You know, lyrically and the feeling of the beat, it’s kinda like more in a club. So I’m happy.”
