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…

  3. Sharonda

    Good for Keyshia, really not into that song, but oh well!

    I kind of dig the two songs Solange put out, should be interesting to see how this play since her sister did the same.

    Good for Usher too.I don’t buy from Itunes but hey I’m not wasting my money while I can get a side salad at mckies lol

  7. doodoo brown

    Usher song is free on limewire and zshare why waste money on it at itunes

  8. Too-Life

    That Usher song is hot!!!

  9. nasia

    Heaven Sent is my fav off Keyshia album glad its a single…but why is she bringing them out back to back like that

  10. WHYTRY?

    I personally think Solange will do well. Good for her!

  11. Jade

    Cole: Hmm…i like what she’s doing with this album. Seems more personal and…just better than the first.

    Usher: I don’t care for the song right now. But it may grow on me. It just doesn’t seem like a song someone who made Confessions would do. The beat and lyrics are so amateurish (is that a word? lol) But hey tomorrow i might like it.

    Solange: I’ll have to watch this develop more. ChampangeChronicNightcap was good.

  12. Walter

    yall are a bunch of haters! If you knew real music then you would know her song :White Picket Dreams” and “Champange Chronic Nightcap” are amazing songs with amazing lyrics. Everyone just wants to listen to the SNAPPING music thts all thts hot now, so when someone does something different, they gotta go sit down. But i do think shes kinda copying Bee with the band shit. Bee auditioned ppl too get into her band and now shes doing the same thing.

  13. Elle

    Keyshia bores me, seriously.
    Solange…didn’t your sister already do this? You date her…She already gets so much coverage on black blogs and you adding to the mix just makes her seem like she’s been around forever…like some old lady virus. Oh, and…just another little thing…since talking about her is the only thing you’re good for…the girl in the Kanye video has a far better body than your sister. lol I thought she had the best body of any black woman until I saw that naturally thick coke bottle…your sister is more like a wide white menopausal white woman who does 1,000 crunches a day in between trips to the garden.

    When you try to be different, as she is, it can never be more than contrived BS. Everything about her is lame…she’s obviously an ignorant child….Does anyone remember the oh so grammatically insane “Stole” she wrote for her ill-fated cuz Kelly?

  15. Marysfan

    YAY KEYSHIA THATS MY SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  16. LOL @ #6)DATDUDE!! Are you serious?? LOL
    Glad to see Keyshia doin so well!
    Thats a bad pic of Usher, but his new song is the truth! Its everywhere!

  17. lidubbie

    i love usher new song, but i wont support him and that man-wife of him financially in any way

  18. DA DON

    KEYSHIA IS RELEASING TOO MANY DAMN BALLADS…BUT AT LEAST DIS ONE ISNT BASHIN DUDES…”DIDN’T I TELL YOU” WOULDA BEEN BETTER…

    SOLANGE’S 2ND ALBUM?…SHE SHOULD TRY ACTING…

    USHER IS ALWAYS ON TOP OF HIS GAME…

  19. SMH

    Solonge: i mean…….huh? all these years i thought she was mute….

    Keisha: love her but she needs to leave the hood in the HOOD

    Usher: Love him, glad he’s coming back with his sexy self

  20. @74

    Both Beyonce and Solange should read books to development their elementary vocabulary. I say this because they tout themselves as songwriters. Improve your lexicon and stop helping to fuck up the english language.

  21. Elle and #80 STFU

    Beyonce is the richest most popular and successful woman in rnb and was the first black woman to win ASCAP songwriter of the year and Solange writes for a bunch of people too so sit down somewhere they’re still the most famous black family in entertainment right now. And Elle aka that same obsessed fashion Beyonce stalker Beyonce has the best body in the business so dont compare her to no surgery enhanced Rita G who is not even black dumbass. You two are the ones who need to read a book because you sound so retarded. GTFOH

  22. V.

    Ditto, #75. I’m so happy she’s decided ‘Heaven Sent’ will be her next single. But her hair sorta reminds me of Missy Elliot for some reason. Solange needs to stay on the drums because she can not sing. And I am sooo in love with Usher’s single. He be forever makin’ hits.

  23. vaunna

    Damn, some people just refuse to let go of not “making it.” Solange…be a producer, be a writer, stop singing. Let the thousands of fresh talent in the world get a chance. I can’t sing for beans but I do know a *&%load of people who can, but can’t break into the biz. Leeches like her taking up space. Damn, that’s mean. But can I WANT NEW MUSIC, NEW ARTISTS! And the industry wonderin why record sales are down.

  24. @81

    Please calm yourself. I have a right to state my opinion. You shouldnt let other peoples thoughts get your panties in a bunch. Dont like what I have to say keep it moving.

  25. SoloStar

    give it to Solange. She came out with a lukewarm response with her singing, but she stepped back and showed them what she could do behind the scenes. Now, she’s the female Ne-Yo of the biz as far as people wanting her to write for them. She’s multi-talented and has a better voice than the chicks that are currently out. I say do you Solange and do you well.

  26. Miss Independent

    It would be a reall good luck for Keyshia to use the footprints poem!! That is my bible poem…thats whats up!! I love Keyshia…go head girl!

  27. momoneymoproblems

    YAY FOR SOLO!!!
    SHE LOOKS SO CUTE IN THAT PIC TOO!!!

  28. Latasha

    hmmm… I’m still not feelin’ Usher’s song that much, but it is what it is.

    I’m happy for Keyshia man! Keyshia’s music is straight fiyah!!! “I Remeber” is the business!
