3.0 out of 5 stars Three songs on this album are good..., February 20, 2005

I actually rec'd this album from a girl in my dorm, freshman year, whose boyfriend sold cds. This was before the whole "we'll sue if you burn" phenomenon. Anyway, she asked my roommate and me to watch her cds and she told us we could pick one out for free. Ashanti was hot at the time, but not to me. I chose this one. All I have to say is that the sister can sing, but the album is rather mediocre. The only good songs are:

Nothing In This World--duet with Avant. These two compliment each other's voices really well. This is their second duet. This song whenever I play it has automatic repeat status.

If Only You Knew--remake of a Patti classic. I love Patti's version, but I think this one is an adequate tribute. Patti's is softer and smoother, but KeKe hits those notes

Don't Take Your Love--sort of uptempo. Has a decent hook

The lyrics could be better on other songs, but it's worth a listen.

2.0 out of 5 stars WAAAAAAAAAAAY TOO AVERAGE!!!!, April 1, 2002

After hearing "My First Love," I eagerly awaited this debut's release. I remember trying to explain to my friends who she was and harrasing the employees of all my surrounding music stores trying to find out when her cd would be released. It's been about 3 months since I finally got a hold of it and needless to say, I'm quite disappointed.

Let me start off by saying that every song on this cd is listenable and not one is horrible; the problem is that nothing on this cd catches your attention or differs from the regular everyday song you hear on the radio. Listening to this cd was like listening to 45 minutes of jingles for commercials... that's the only way I can explain it. The lyrics are very AVERAGE, the production is very AVERAGE, and even the vocals are AVERAGE (sometimes below average). It would be worthless for me to do a song by song review... there wouldn't be much to say. The only song that stands out from time to time is "If Only You Knew," but even that's lackluster compared to the original. I'm not sure who to blame for this dud, but hopefully it's not Keke and hopefully she will learn from this mistake( and others) and come with something w/ a little more substance and soul the next time around.

This debut gets 1 star cause it has to and 1 for being listenable... but that's it. If you're looking for something w/ substance, check out India Arie's debut... now that's what I'm talking about!

2.0 out of 5 stars I'm glad this was on sale...., July 9, 2002

... I don't think its her, it the material that she had to work with. Somebody with great vocals, should be singing songs where they can show off a bit. I think she's a terrific singer; but other than "Nothing in this world", she doesn't really get a chance to shine. Too often we go out a buy a CD because of that one good song on the radio and end up disappointed. Trust me, you'd be better off buying a single this time.
