♫ PREVIEW KEYSHIA COLE’S A DIFFERENT ME
Friday, December 5, 2008

You can preview snippets of Keyshia Cole’s upcoming release, A Different Me which is due to hit stores in just a couple of weeks on December 16th. Keyshia’s first single, “Playa Cardz Right” was released a couple of years ago, and Keyshia thought it was so strong that she released it as the first single from her third studio album. Now, she’s begun promo with her new single, the drum-driven ballad, “You Complete Me.”
The new album, all of the tracks were written or co-written by Keyshia with production from award-winning producers such as Ron Fair, Polow Da Don, the Trackmasters, The Runners, Kwame and Neffu. Stand out guest appearances include Nas and a duet with new friend, Monica.

I listened to snippets of the CD and it sounds pretty good. A lil “safe” but not bad.
Nevertheless, I’m still gonna cop it to support Ke-Ke. I love her!

A can’t wait to get it either. I know Keyshia has known Mo since she moved to the ATL so I don’t think they are new friends.

This is a SOLID album. I do think it was unwise releasing it too soon after Just Like You, though.
Hope it’ll sell decently.

I don’t think she is trying to be like Beyonce. I think she is evolving just like Mary J. did. This is a good direction for her. I will buy the album definitely because I see that she is trying to accomplish something and the message in her songs is great. Beyonce is the good at making songs with catchy hooks and Keyshia makes the songs that make you feel it down in your soul and make you feel like you have been through it too. Each of her songs mean something and they aren’t just dance tracks and nice hooks.

Why do people have to push these albums out back to back, especially if they sound the same? I wish she would have either waited until next year or developed a new sound. “A New Me” sounds like the old Keyshia mixed with the new Mary J.

I love K. Cole and can’t wait till her album comes out, but I really do wish she would stop using the show on BET to gather hype around her having an album coming out. Season 1 and 2 were cool, but 3 is just a mess and pointless now. It’s not even about her anymore it’s all about Frankie and Neffie.

@12
What does Beyoncé have to do with this? Seriously? Even Mary J? Anyway, I even dont agree; SMH
Keyshia is Keyshia stop comparing!
I am not feeling this cover at all, her last was very deep, only with her eyes; she tries the sexy card these days huh? Its good but the cover, I dont know.
I didnt like the songs I heard, I wont buy her album.
She will surely sell less than 200k the first week.
Sent from heaven, love and let it go are still my damn songs though! Wish her the best!

I love me some Keyshia, but can we give up this 1950’s bodysuit s#!t?! Seriously, why is everyone doing this?! Singles Ladies already killed that look for the next 50 years, lets put this look away and start fresh - I’m getting tired of seeing Beyonce in that look myself.

OMG….This is like 3 steps backwards for Keyshia…>This was the most horrible thing I have ever heard coming from her and she has talent(on the CD) I would say TWO THUMBS maybe ONE TOE DOWN FOR THIS CD

I must admit, aside from her show on BET …I’m not really a fan of her Keyshia Cole. I think she is a beautiful girl w/talent but for some reason her lyrics are always very disappointing to me. I expect so much substance and am usually let down…I have also heard interviews of her and she can be quite the little *bleep* lol…but I guess in the business u gotta be a hard ass…Ne ways I wish her much success but I won’t be copping this album…….

Agree w/ LeeLee, she’s not trying to be like Beyonce. Besides, nothing about Beyonce has changed, her music, looks (blonde lace front wigs), videos (half naked shaking her ass), nothing so I really don’t understand where that is coming from.
Also, why does Beyonce always have to be brought up?!?! She is NOT the hottest chic in the game no matter how many times you say it. She has one hell of a PR machine behind her, but she hasn’t set any records as far as music goes…………..sheesh.
Any who, don’t like what I’m hearing thus far. Thought she would come harder. She looks good, but I am I the only one who HATES those damn arm tattoos on women. It’s so unlady like and as you get older, not cute.

I liked the album. Sounds better than all the other bullshyt that has been released..*coughs*…brandy’s album..*coughs*…I like keyshia but I think I’ll stick to limewire. Sorry, but we are in a recession.
Another album that’s good is Britney. I was amost tempted to buy it..lol..almost..

why why why? if its not broke then dont fix it. The first cd was good, but the second cd was one of the best to come out last year. every single she dropped went to #1 and stayed there for weeks. the radio still play “i Remember” and “heaven sent” those are the songs that are going to make Keyshia stand out, this cd is wack. it took Mary years to go from whats the 411 to Growing Pains and we got to see that progression and growth. this cd seems rushed, love you Keyshia but i dont want a different you, i want the you that i was digging on the last two cd’s.
27.
pfff
Friday, December 5, 2008 /
# 24 Well she is the hottest chick in the game, thats why you are bringin her name here, if she want the sh!t you wont spend your time writing 6 lines or her, no one will bring Brandy or Alicia or Jennifer whoever else excepting Beyoncé on a post which doesnt belong to her, because she is Beyoncé and people unfortunately hate her because she is the best. Yall can say what you want, she is still the QUEEN! lol
And you know youre lying about what you said lol
anyway, I wont buy her album, her previous sounds so much better!

I like keyshia and will be getting the album. I dont understand people sometimes….everyone sayin she’s tryin to be sexy or she’s tryin to be like Beyonce. Keyshia is being herself and apart of being an artist is evolving. When she came out everyone tried to say she was a hood rat, ghetto and all this other mess. Now that she is switching her game up…ppl still hate…SMH SADNESS.
I love Mary J but she is just getting to the level where Keyshia is now (meaning her music on different levels then just R&B…meaning the pop world as well)
Dont get mad at da playa get mad at da game…datz all i gotta say

@28..I agreed with everything you said til you got to the Mary part…you must’ve fell outta bed this morning and hit yo head..WTF?!!!…How you gon’ fix yo mouth and say Mary is just getting to where Keyshia is?!!..Are you on crack?!!!..Mary has easily surpassed the place where Keyshia is…Mary is not new to this…and do a fact check on your info..Keyshia has only had 1 top 5 pop hit…Mary has had 3 or 4….who are you kidding?!!!!…I will tell you who you are kiddin’…YA DAMN SELF!!..Keyshia is my girl too..but she has a ways to go b4 you even put her on the same plateau as a MARY J. BLIGE….do your research next time b4 you post. It’ll only make you more informed. and like G.I. JOE said…”KNOW ING IS HALF THE BATTLE”…”ASSuming only loses the war”..real-talk.

I don’t like the album cover.. I love Keisha’s music.. And the previous poster is correct.. You can listen to her music for years and you can’t with single ladies, And the third season of her show does focus on her mom and sister ALOT more..I’m not complaining,,.IT’S FUNNY

@ 32 Thanx for agreeing…somewhat! I know very well what MaryHAS done and love Mary and I always support Mary. I was simply giving a referance of Keyshia and Mary since people seem to say that they are so much alike. When Keyshia came out she was talking about the same stuff Mary was taking about, Keyshia was strickly and R&B girl as well as Mary. I love all of Mary’s cd’s as well as Keyshia’s and if you listen to where they BOTH are NOW….you will see that they are BOTH just getting to try things outside of just R&B meaning POP, that is what I meant. Mary and Keyshia have ALWAYS talked about love and pain and bad relationships and love songs on previous CD’s. If you look at them BOTH now…they are starting to try to cross over talking more about love, being in love, having fun etc which is not bad. So….#32 I was speaking about the direction Mary and Keyshia are going in NOW and NOT where they have been.
just clearing that up….thanx!

I think Keyshia is trying to switch up, because some people were complaining she “male bashed” too much in her songs, so she is trying to be more fun, laidback, and “sexy”–this time around. Personally, I didn’t think her songs were hateful towards men, just common issues/complaints of most young women in their 20’s about life and love–*shrug*–I loved The Way it Is, it was a fresh sound, unique–the second cd was okay, this next one is not appealing to me, but I wish her well!!

Mary developed a pop following with the Mary cd, when she sampled Elton John for the “deep inside” single then she exploded and became mainstream with the no more drama cd and “Family Affair” spent 6 weeks at #1 on the pop charts. But before Mary did that she locked down her R&B base first, Keyshia hasn’t done that just yet.

@YACHI?
BEYONCE DOESN’T SET ANY RECORDS? HOW ABOUT SHE JUST TIED WITH RIHANNA FOR MOST #’1′S IN THE DECADE, AND IS ABOUT TO SURPASS HER JUST AS SOON AS “HALO” AND “DIVA” COME OUT. OH YEAH, AND SHE’S 1/3 OF THE BEST SELLING FEMALE GROUP OF ALL TIME. I MEAN THAT’S NEITHER HERE NOR THERE, CUZ THIS IS KEYSHIA’S POST, BUT THAT COMMENT WAS A LITTLE DELUSIONAL

the album has to grow on me. i believe it was a bad mistake to release “playa cards right” as the first single. i don’t think its gonna do well. keyshias choice of produckers except for trackmasters were horrible decisions. i would’ve garnered a whole new respect if she completely changed and broke through with a new sound. don’t see this album going platinum.

The snippets are worthy! One thing I’ve learned about Keyshia is that her music is like good $ex… You can’t really judge it until you’ve been in it for a while and all the juices are flowin. You just be riding along listening to her tract and all of a sudden the songs hit you like a musical crescendo that reaches a climax… AHHHH!
Wait and see!

I see where people are coming from aside from Jhud Jazmine Sullivan and Mariah Carey… this is on the the TRUE RnB albums released this year. All the other artist are releasing pop! Dont beleive me check it out when trying to buy it on Itunes.
Now its a good album on RnB side something that can listen to for years to come so congrats on that Keysh………………….But it does sound like old Keysh. Mixed in with new Mary im sorry. Yall can call me what yall like im telling it how I hear it. Still a good album.

I think it is pretty pathetic to always have to compare other female artist to Beyonce. Why can’t other female artist survive in the industry without every stan/hater trying to bash them because they are not Beyonce! I hate to say it but when you obsess over one person to often…you adventually have to face your own insecurites! We are all drawn to people or things for different reasons…so can we just accept the quality of being different from or unlike something or somebody else. This is only my assessment, judgment or evaluation of this topic!

Okay so I love Keyshia.. But this album is definitly not as good as the second.. But it is still better than I am.. U Know Who.. LMAO But keyshia cole sure nough have some pretty songs. Fallin out, We could be, Give me more, Heaven Sent and I love that song with Jahiem. It’s so pretty…. I Love Keyshia Cole…

LISTEN PEOPLE. PLEASE DON’T FEED INTO THE STUFF THGAT BEYONCE STANS OFTEN DO. DON’T GET ME WRONG I ENJOY BOTH LADIES, BUT THE STANS REALLY URK MY NERVES. WHAT THEY DO IS GO INTO EVERY OTHER FEMALE ARTISTS ROOM AND SAY “SHE TRYNA BE LIKE BEYONCE OR SHE’S NOT NO BEYONCE” THIS IN TURN GETS EVERYONE ELSE TALKING ABOUT BEYONCE. DON’T FALL FOR THE TRICK. JUST MAKE YOUR STATEMENTS ABOUT WHAT THE POST IS ACTUALLY ABOUT AND IGNORE THEM.
THEY DO THIS TO KEEP UP THE TALK ABOUT HER SO THEN THEY CAN SAY “THAT’S WHY SHE’S THE HOTTEST CHICK IN THE GAME BECAUSE SHE’S IN EVERY THREAD” WHEN REALLY THEY STARTED IT. JUST SIMPLE MINDED PEOPLE SO IGNORE THEM.

Trying to compare Beyonce and Keyshia is like trying to compare Mariah and Mary. YOu really cant they have totally different styles. There is room in the game for all of them. DC is not the biggest selling female group of all time TLC is DC just gets the title because people group there solo albums with their group sales. I honestly like Bey and Keyshia. I believe music has changed and instead of pushing an album artist are forced to do videos and just release one or two singles.

P.S. Keisha is destined to a legend like Mary J. or Whitney ! Keisha has a BEAUTIFUL and HEAVENLY voice….Beyonce wishes she has the talet and voice that Keisha has. Hey I like Beyonce…but comparing Keisha to Beyonce is like comparing apples to oranges.
54.
wow
Friday, December 5, 2008 /
the difference is here its not the stans but the beyoncé haters who start everything, they bash her and comparin her to other artists sayin the artist is better or makes true music, doesnt shake ass and bla bla bla like Beyoncé so thats why her stans are coming to defend her,
beyoncé gets more attention than the actual artist or celebrity CL made a topic for, SMH its about keyshia, but yall see beyoncé or mary j inside ppl have too much time on their hands to hate. SMH

@27 where or what is beyonce the queen of? Nowhere, she is not royalty! I really feel sorry for people like you who obsess over a woman that is making money from your obssession but doesn’t give a damn about you.
I think its good that keyshia changed for this album, but she seems to have ostracized her fanbase without gaining new fans. She should have found a medium between the two. And the tatoos are hideous, they ruin her- so unlady like
57.
wow
Friday, December 5, 2008 /
yall see what I meant now? look at THOSE NUMBERS 9, 10, 18, 19, 24, 27, 29, 31, 33, 38, 41, 47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 53, 54 myself and the list goes on for Beyoncé, its so funny the Beyoncé effect on people, they hate her just to upgrade other artists which is sad because they say I love Keyshia she is better not like that Beyoncé but the truth is those ppl actually dont like the artists they support they just do it thinkin it would hurt Beyoncé or her fan base its so so sad!

OHH!! Thanks God majority of the people up here isn’t feeling this. I swear I can’t stand this girl she can’t sing for shyt! She always sound the same with her “Horsed” voice, she do the same runs and she strains her voice. She is way overrated! Then she had the nerve to come out with a second season of that drama filled show! NOOOOOOOOO!! Please somebody stop this girl! Everybody keeps saying that they like her because she’s ghetto and they can feel her stuggles and pains! BULLSHYT! The shyt she’s going through with her family looks like something that I use to see on a daily basis when i was younger, so it’s nothing new. They be over acting on that show and i believe they do it because they know their on T.V. and they want to show out for the camera’s. Point blank its nothing special about this girl even her family problems! Girl Bye!

@ YACHI Sweetie how can you say Bey hasnt set any records when it comes to music?? she has set the standard SO high is why Keshis is talking about “A DIFFERENT ME” B/c she knows she has to step it up. Beyonce is the hottest in the game no matter how much she “shakes her ass” her voice is 100 times better then K.C and so is her CD which by the way is OFF THE CHAIN and # on the billboard charts. So do your history b4 you speak. Bey has transitioned from IT GIRL TO ICON!!! K.C album will do ight hate the song “play ya cardz right” but GOOD LUCK!

Beyonce/Sasha,
Her name was mention to make a point and show the obvious of what happens in every blog that doesn’t concern her due to silly stans and silly haters. I’m not gonna disrespect an artist and say “that woman” because I respect her. I respect Keyshia as well. That’s what grown people do. Thank you for pointing that out though because people did annoy me for a second.
This album sounds pretty good. I think her second album was better. This one sounds a bit rushed to me.

To all of you haters out there…. Attention Haters…. Her album sounds great and her title goes real well with the album.

This is real music!!!

Damn Keyshia just cannot win with some people. Honestly I like the snippets I heard because in my opinion it sounds like real r&b and not some generic b.s. People were saying she needed to talk about things other than heartbreak and no good men so she finally does and people still have something negative to say I mean to each their own and everything because Keyshia’s music is not for everybody but at least give the girl a chance instead of bashing her.
