Keyshia Cole, who is currently sitting at the top of Billboard’s “Hot R&B/Hip Hop” charts with her song, “I Remember,” will be filming a new video this week.

“Heaven Sent” makes for the 4th video from her platinum album, Just Like You. The video will be directed by Benny Boom and shot somewhere in Hawaii on Tuesday. Word is they are going to do a play on the “Footprints” poem. Should be a good one.

Despite only just being released digitally this week, Usher’s latest single ‘Love In The Club’ has already taken the #1 spot on the iTunes singles chart. I doubt that Usher will top his last album “Confessions” but hey you never know…

  1. La'shonda

    lol..is that Solange’s band? she sings, she drums lol. Watch out Bey

    I’m glad the label is supporting Keyshia hard like this. she deserves it. this is actually her fourth video Angel (Let it go….shoulda let you go, i remember..and now the amazing Heaven Sent)

    That Usher joint is a straight banger in the club and in the bed lol. Angel you’re right but NO ONE will sell those kinda numbers again (not even my girl Mimi)

  2. cookaloo

    solage go sit down boo boo and give it a rest

  3. Nothing But Love

    Solange is she for real??? you would have to be crazy to get involved with them knowles especially if matthew is gonna be managing cos there a shady bunch of people.

  4. sunny

    I’m excited to see how Keyshia’s video will turn out. That’s a beautiful poem.

  5. ...:::*~C.K~*:::...

    OMG…i am in the top ten…yay!!
    i dunno abt solange…maybe she shud consider a career change…go Keishaaaa…i luv her!! Usher’s song needs to grow on me

  6. datdude

    Solange stay grinding, bless her heart, if she wanna set herself apart, maybe she should become a one woman band, like dem homeless niccas dat chill in train stations or bus depots. C’mon dat would be dope seeing her sing and dance wit a harmoniguitardrum set strapped to her person lookin some sort of R&b cyborg ready to bang out dem hits, dats the future of music right there. I would wait in line to buy dat album.

    I like dat Usher joint, came on in the club da other night and females went bat-shit crazy, they got way too excited, mad niccas left the club lookin like dey wet themselves, thanks to dat song. If dat dj persists in putting dat song in rotation niccas gonna have to start wearing rain coats to the club… U know wat i did buy a mighty fresh rain coat the other day and i have not got a chance to wear it…well thanks to Usher maybe i do, hope i don’t catch nothing and have to LEt it BUrn, sorry i had too,lol.

  7. dctrinigyal

    good for all of dem

  8. YAY! Keisha that’s my joint! She picked some great singles except the 1st one!
    And I can’t wait 4 Usher to drop the video cuz thas my sh*t!

  9. Greatestloveofall

    Good for Keyshia, that sounds like a wonderful concept for the video,

    Meh at Usher, I’m not a fan of the song.

    Hope everything works for Solange.

  10. li

    I love Usher’s new single, I honestly didn’t think he was gong to be able to do it, but I love the song. I am not interested to see what it produces in the club at all though, but thats my song!

  11. ThinkAboutIt

    Heaven Sent is a nice song, and Footprints is a wonderful poem – more than a poem, a proclamation. It should turn out nice because Benny Boom is a good director.
    Keyshia is really doing her thing.

  12. Vinandi

    Solange starting a band?like WTF?

    well i suppose you’ve got to give the sista props for trying!!
    I see her hair looks blonde in the pic too, do you think Papa Knowles is trying to make a Beyaki clone?

  13. Double Ds

    I hate all of Keyshia Cole’s music! She looks like a ghetto walrus! With her 2 big front teeth!

  14. LOVEwithAIDS

    I do not like their music. I think it is just so so.

  15. Dame

    Solo needs to give it up.

    Keyshia I like that song she loves her some Benny Boom.

    Usher I love Love In This Club the beat is sick. I am so looking forward to the new cd

  16. Greatestloveofall

    Solange looks like a short bus ridin retard trying to “play” the drums in that photo. I havent acutally heard her speak too long in an interview. Is she as slow and illiterate as her sister?

  17. LOL @ #13

    I liked Keyshis’a show, her music is just okay to me, I wouldn’t buy any of it….
    Whatever @ Solange…pure wackness
    Usher’ song is starting to grow on me….glad he is back!

  18. JaJa

    Solange…no no boo. Didn’t work out the first time, doubt it will the second time. NEXT.

  19. That damn Benny Boom is a fine piece of specimen!

  20. LMAO @ #13, a ghetto walrus!!!!!!!!!! get off keyshia cole now. her album surpassed my expectations, girl is doin it

  21. vhydfsui

    He is so handsome. he posted his personal ad on a celebrities dating site called “Searching Millionaire dot com”. I just visited his profile page. Seems he is very popular there.

  22. lette

    Congrats on Keyshia’s album going platimum!!! I have it and I absolutley love it. I’m so happy for success. I like the whole album and I’m lookin forward to seeing the video for Heaven Sent that song is so pretty

    I do like Usher’s song I am also looking forward to more music from him. I’m glad his ugly wife finally let him start recording again

    Man Solange needs Jesus

  23. DJ Mutha

    Wouldnt this be the fourth video from Keyshia album not the third as stated above .1 Let it Go 2. Shoulda let you Go 3. I Remeber and now Heaven Sent…

    DJ MUTHA

  24. Pretty In Prada

    ******** I must admit, Heaven Sent by Keyshia Cole, has been my ringtone for several months and months now…***
    ******* Good Idea Solange get that $$$ girl…
    ****** I kind of started hating Usher after he married that old hag TaMANka and fell deeper, and deeper in love for Justin Timberlake, but ” Love in the Club” isn’t 1/2 bad

  25. Zoolander

    Go Usher!!

    You can’t beat true talent!!

  26. Giggles

    I really like Keishas song, I just heard it for the first time and its a beautiful song. If she was more refined, and demure I would propbably like her more. She reminds me of a young Mary J Blige

  27. kaykay

    mkay so Solange is doing the same loud girl band throw back thing that Beyonce did…not too orignial, too bad she’s not cute or a good singer like her big sister-we’ll see solange.

    Yay Keisha-go Oakland :)

    Who cars if Usher doesn’t top Confessions? Why are the critics so pressed to have people surpass their “Thriller’s” or “Emancipation of Mimi’s”…in this business and w/the change of the times as long as he goes platinum once or twice-that will still be a sucess. I know Usher knows that…lightening rarely strikes twice.

  28. Scoobs

    Solange needs to let it go!!! She can’t sing…maybe dance or rock would be better for her…

  29. Scoobs

    By the way, Usher’s new song is sexy!!!

  30. kennedi

    Boooooo to Solange and her “band” idea.
    It’s going to be a complete bust I bet!

  31. PROVOST...

    #6:

    LLLMMMAAAOOOOOOO!!!!!! What was the name of that instrument again?

  32. Johnny B. Badd

    Heaven Sent will actually be the 4th video from this album for Keyshia!

  33. ATL_HONEY

    Keyshia is reeeeeeeeaaaaalllllllllllly miliking this album. I love her but….girl get in the studio and make some new music!

  34. keisha gurrrrrrrl you nailed it this time i really cant put the cd down… solange is looking for what wiff who and most of all why lololol …..chile please hook up wiff no singing kelly and yall might get noticed lo,lololololololololol

  35. Quart

    Yay Keisha! One of my favorite songs @ first listen, the video BETTER be good. I was a bit disappointed @ “I Remember,” videos with a concept that tie into the song’s theme/message/words is what sells it.

  36. larue2u

    It is what it is………………(lol) I dk about Solange, stick to Disney! Let your big sister do it all!

    Keyshia is my girl! Do your thang Miss Keyshia Myesha Cole!

    Usher’s song is really HOT! I’m so glad he’s back, he really makes great music.

  37. Quart

    What are you talking about ATL_Honey. Some artists go a year and a half to two years on one album. If it’s good, it’s good. She just came out with the cd, it was like September 26 or something. She has come pretty much back to back with some popular songs in a short amout of time. That’s how artists start coming out with crap, trying to make an album every year. I’m not ready for this to be over, hopefully she does a video with Anthony Hamilton for Losing You. Probably not, I’ve heard it on the radio and I would think they would have done that first before Heaven Sent.

  38. Micki B

    I I am a fan of Keyshia Cole’s reality show and I can not wait to see the show. Solange is definitely doing her thing. We know Usher was going to hit out the park on that single. I just hope his upcoming album does well as a whole.

  39. Dame

    @27 I agree Confessions is Confessions Usher new cd will be different. I know it will be good.

    Someone mentioned Usher and his wife. I had a problem with them at first but he defends her toe and nail. That is true love and I can respect that.

  40. Peacekeeper00

    Agreeing with Quart. Keyshia just dropped the album, why not milk it? That’s what an artist is suppose to do. The album hasn’t even been out a year yet, why should she go back in the studio already when the album still have life.

    Anyway, I’m glad they’re going with “Heaven Sent”. It’s a beautiful song. I just hope Benny comes with it with the video. The last video was very boring.

    The picture of Solange is a old House of Deron ad, lol….she isn’t really playing no drums. I’m not buying her whole “soulful” image either. With that said, NEXT!

  41. Noelle Alexandrea Teague

    >>>>>>>>> yeah Usher u never no.. :) And i cant to hear kewyahias song justthe title is god sent lol.. um…. good luck soloange..

  42. Dame

    * I meant tooth and nail

  43. ThicNPretty

    Let’s play a game….Let’s come up with 10 constructive ways Solange can waste Matknowles pimp money from Bee and keep her busy and happy…..See having a baby is only a part of life you still have to have a life…ok I will go first
    let me see can’t do disney Raven Simone (childless) has that on lock…let me see the Olsen twins (childless) have the tween makeup industry on lock…..gosh this is hard…mmmm…..Maybe she should just go back to school….do some charity work……..mmmmm this is really hard what can she do

  44. Noelle Alexandrea Teague

    >>> im saying just the title is heaven sent like its gold in a bottle

  45. The Truth

    YAY KEYSHIA! I love Heaven Sent…I’m glad that is going to be a single.

  46. Jay

    Correction!… THIS WILL BE THE 4th video Keyshia not the 3rd… She has a video for , Let it go, Shoulda let you go and I remember ( which was low budget… the record company didn’t realize how big the song would be)

  47. Dont Argue With Me It's Just An Opinion

    ROTFLMAO @ Solange. Honey Chile PLEASE!

    I hate that song “I Remember”… actually I usually hate all of Keysha Cole’s songs. But big ups to her. I love her style and personality, so do it big girl.

    Usher looks soooooo fruity.

  48. SUPERstarshine

    i love Keyshia’s album and “Heaven Sent” is my favorite song off the album. Go Keysh!!! And I hope this video will be better than “I Remember.”

  49. SweetThang729

    Go Usher, good luck Solange you’re up against alot of hate girly

    And come on Keyshia you should’ve released that last time and “Gotta get my Heart back” should’ve been the fourth single stop playing girly and get it cracking…

  50. JSCENE

    I could give less than a damn about all of these people, so let me just head my ass over to the next post….

  51. bklyn-bella

    There are actually people spending their good dollar on usher songs…ha i’d rather buy a sandwich with my dollar

  52. tia

    i like the name of solanges band….thats wassup,i like that song white picket dreams so i will be looking out for that album

    i lovvvvvvvvvvvve Heaven Sent!!!!!!! that is my fav song on the whole album….smart girl!

    ushmeka wateva

  53. HATERS

    Why hate on Solo? You’re condemning her before she can even start, yet you’re calling her a failure. There’s another article out how the people at EMI thinks she’s beauitful and hold her and her talents in high regard. She’s put in her grind work with herself and then others to show and prove she’s the real deal. She’s super talented and I’m eager to see what she comes out with.

    God Bless you Solange and good luck.

  54. Have Not Thought of a New User Name

    I wonder how much Keyisha Cole is making off album sales (most artist don’t make much that’s why the have side hustles)? this is the second album that she has put out four video’s for. Now I am no fan but I hate to see someone be taken advatage of because they don’t know, no better. I doubt her album sales past 1.5 million copies so why keep putting out video’s when the artist has to pay for a portion of them? It seems like it’s just a waste of money to me, unless you trying to keep your name out there. Since there is no endorcements, clothing line or any other project as of yet contributing to her income the bulk of the money is probably comming form a tour which so far she has only done one (not to mention the people who gone take they cut before she get it) It sems to me she should pump the breaks on this project and focus on the next one since she got another album comming in December.

    Sorry I typed to much but the KC situation just didn’t make since to me, ya’ll know major labels are designed to keep artist in debt.

    I don’t care for Solange but she trying harder than kelly to make it so she gets respect just for that.

  55. YEAH I SAID IT

    WTF is Keyshia Cole wearing?

    Why is Solange wasting people’s time? She’s gonna find the band, her album will flop, and those talented musicians will never be heard from again.

    Oh well..good luck to her.

  56. Its ABOUT TIME, Keyshis released a new single Im SOOO tired of “I Remember” I really want her to release song #2 Didnt I tell u” Its the only up-beat song on her album. Hopefully she’ll release that one next.

    Solonge is doing something different….

    I love Ushers new song, Usher come back n show these “yong folk” how to do it!

  57. Vivaldi

    Didnt Bey do that whole female band thing already ? Talk bout recycling ..
    Will see how thatt urns out . What am i saying , i mean yeh . Obviously it will be big thanks to Papa Knowles whos very good at holding his dearest eggs up high but not others ..
    Sorry but that fam is weird ..

    Usher ; start knitting jerseys or sumthin ..

  58. tiki

    what is she searching for a band for? Her ass cannot not perform good.

  59. Do You

    Big up’s to Solange. She’s been grinding behind the scenes earning major respect and she is talented. I’m looking forward to hearing from REAL TALENT.

  60. Hummingbirdee

    Heaven Sent is the BEST song on her album. I’m glad it’s going to be a single.
