Biography

One of the more genuine urban songstresses out there in the mid-2000s, Keyshia Cole worked her way up the industry ladder diligently yet quickly, making her major-label debut in 2004 at age 21. Born on the other side of the California Bay -- the often tough and troubled streets of Oakland -- Cole aspired from an early age to make music her life, so much so that she started working the angles while… Read more in Amazon's Keyshia Cole Store

4.0 out of 5 stars Promising debut., January 1, 2006
Keyshia Cole has a great voice, one of the best in the industry right now. (But that's not really saying that much.) And she really shows it on this album. (Although I must say that I think she's trying too hard on "Love.") Except for "We Could Be" and "Down And Dirty", this album has top notch material.

4.0 out of 5 stars Glorious entertainment!, May 31, 2009
Ms Cole does her thing on this record, which is very good. She also showcases that the greatest instrument should be the human voce with the lyrics and beats nicely complementing. I loved it! My only regret being that it took me so long to discover her music. Keep it coming ma even as I catch up!
It's really a 4.5 stars only when compared to the follow up Just like you.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keyshia the songstress. HOT is an understatement. I think both albums are neck and neck...
If not, this one is surprisingly superior. But Just Like You is hot R&B goodness too. Cop em both!

I heard her say so on her show, The Way It Is, that aired on BET... Read more
