Keyshia Cole Admits That 'I Aint Thru' Was A Bad Choice For Her Lead Single

It seems one of Nicki Minaj's many collaborators are having a change of heart after having her on their single.

Singer Keyshia Cole recently spoke with the Associated Press about her new album Calling All Hearts that was released yesterday. The album that has been described as soulful might have been given a bad first impression thanks to Keyshia's lead single, "I Ain't Thru."

Video Premiere: Keyshia Cole (Feat. Nicki Minaj) 'I Ain't Thru'

Give KC her "elbow room" because she's back! Here is the new video from Keyshia Cole for her song "I Ain't Thru" featuring Nicki Minaj. This single is scheduled to appear on her self-titled album Keyshia due in stores December 2010.

The song is fun enough for a club atmosphere and for a few spins on the Pod. Plus it looks like Keyshia and Nicki vibed well in the video which made for an interesting watch.

[News] Keyshia Cole's New Album Coming Later This Year

Earlier this year, Keyshia Cole's manager/cousin Manny confirmed that the singer was indeed pregnant (a fact that was made clear after the singer was photoed sporting a very prominent baby bump) and also mentioned that she would have new music dropping before the year's end.

I don't know about anyone else, but I took that bit of info in stride only because I've heard that an album was coming from an artist only for it to be pushed back.

But Manny revealing that Keyshia will be releasing an album this year has turned out to be true with confirmation via Rap-Up.com who spoke with the producer of the track that is said to have potential of being a lead single off of Keyshia's new album.

It's A Boy For Keyshia Cole

Keyshia Cole has reportedly given birth to a baby boy. The singer went into labor yesterday and is officially a mommy today!

Keyshia's good friend/singer Monica kept twitter followers updated on Keyshia's status when certain media outlets ran with the false story that Keyshia had given birth when she hadn't.

Monica wrote on her twitter:

We just hung up. Yes she is. She's doing great. Her son will be arriving tonite from what doctors see with her current state. She'holding up like a real tropper. As her friend and mother myself I'm BEYOND proud of her. She can't wait to hold him. Lol

This is the first child for Keyshia Cole and her fiance, Cleveland Cavaliers basketball player Daniel Gibson.


Random Thought: Isn't it interesting that both Christina Milian and Keyshia Cole are both Libra's and they gave birth to Pisces babies?! May not be interesting to some of you but I'm an astrology lover and find that astonishing. Perhaps they can bond and put out music together...just a thought.

Keyshia Cole Addresses Family Drama

We all have our family drama, but Keyshia's family drama stands to put most of ours to shame.

We were granted access into Keyshia's life via her reality show on BET. Though the show did wonders for her career it left the stain known as "The Frankie and Neffe Show", no judgment.

Keyshia is none to proud of the media exploiting her mother's behavior, and is speaking out against it announcing that she is distancing herself from certain members of her family so that she can continue growing as she introduces motherhood and marriage into her immediate future.

Morning Ear Candy: Keyshia Cole 'I Should Have Cheated''

Keyshia Cole has definitely come a long way in appearance as well as mind state.

When she first dropped "I Changed My Mind", she was a woman on a vengeance. Most of her songs spoke of heartbreak and falling out of love. Eventually her sound began to soften up with the addition of songs that catered to the lovers in her fan base.

Her last album A Different Me held true its title presenting a very different Keyshia image wise as well as lyrics.

With  her new album that is scheduled to be released later this year we can expect a very loving Keyshia minus the drama as Keyshia is an engaged mother-to-be. A lot can happen in a year.

New Music: Keri Hilson ft Keyshia Cole & Teyanna Taylor-Get Your Money Up (Remix)

Here is a remix track from Keri Hilson for her song "Get Your Money Up" featuring Keyshia Cole and Teyanna Taylor. Loving this song! It is live, loud, and flaunts the female ego, what could be better? Teyanna even holds it down...um, when can we expect an album Teyanna?!




This might even be the ladies anthem for the end of the summer. If they're smart, they will shell out a video to go along with the song.

Yummy Pix: Keyshia Cole gets in line w/ all the other shaven mavens

Keyshia Cole was photoed with her new do which consisted of her hair being shaved-off on the side. I'm going to have to go and give Cassie the credit on reviving the trend. Surprisingly I never saw Cassie as a trend setter but if the shoe fits. However, Kelis made it popular a little earlier.

Keyshia looks cute. The thing about this style is that you can't even manage to have an off day meaning you have to always be trendy and edgy...doesn't that get boring after a while?

Remember when Rihanna debuted hers?

The only thing I fear is seeing women walking the streets of NYC with the side of their heads shaved...the new millennium where hair ideals have been crushed one shave at a time.

M.Y. Sunday Kind Of Love: Keyshia Cole-Love

"Each moment of a happy lover's hour is worth an age of dull and common life"

It's been a long time since I've done a Sunday's Kind Of Love post (shame on me) but here it is and it's a goody.

This week's Sunday Kind Of Love is brought to us courtesy of Keyshia Cole with her song "Love". It don't get no better than this.

I have followed Keyshia's career since "I Change My Mind" and at first found her to be just another artist in a pool of R&B singers; however, with this song I knew that with time she would blossom to be a musical truth.

This song embodies so many truths that it is undeniably sweet in it's purest form. You can tell that it was written from the heart and was meant to allow listeners to have reminiscent moments when heard. "Love" is the truth, and that goes for the song and the feeling.

M.Y. Song Of The Week: Keyshia Cole ft. Missy Elliot & Lil Kim-Let It Go

This weeks SOTW is brought to us courtesy of Keyshia Cole and her song "Let It Go" featuring Missy Elliot and Lil Kim.

Let It Go - Keyshia Cole

I L.O.V.E. this song! This is really when I became a fan of Ms. Cole. Don't get me wrong, she's been on my music radar since "I Changed My Mind" but I was feeling this song a whole lot more.

Keyshia Cole is currently on tour with her new album A Different Me.

M.Y. Saturday Night Live: Keyshia Cole & Monica-Trust

Here is Keyshia Cole and Monica performing their song "Trust" in concert in Dallas earlier last week. What a great performance!

The crowd interaction is on point. Keyshia was able to carry her own along side Monica who has a very powerful voice. Loves it.

Live Performances: Keyshia Cole in concert

Here is a video of Keyshia Cole performing live in concert. At one point she even brings Monica out to perform their song "Trust". Keyshia sure has lost a lot of weight, she looks good.

Brandy wants Keyshia Cole with Ray J

This little audio from DJ Mami Chula's radio show had me giggling this early AM. Brandy stopped by the Atlanta radio station to set the record straight about Ray J and Whitney Houston and flexed her cupid bow and arrow on who she would want Ray J to get with.

Brandy did not hesitate to put her little brother on blast about his supposed relationship with Whitney by saying that there isn't anything going on between the two, and that they are just really good friends; I think we all knew that already, that whole ish oozed of publicity stunt.



The conversation kind of went left when asked who she would like to see Ray with; in which Brandy replied that she would like to see her baby bro with Ms. G. Fab, Keyshia Cole; random much?

Hmmm...OK Brandy, you already know that Keyshia would make Ray her b*tch but whatev.

Keyshia Cole covers King

Keyshia Cole is King Magazine's cover girl for one of their final issues.

In case you missed it, King Magazine home of the popular B's, booty and boobs, has officially closed up shop with their print mag and will go digital.

On a second version of the final issue, Joe Buddens girlfriend Tahiry will appear on the cover. Keyshia shows the boobs and Tahiry shows the booty..and they both got plenty. I am digging Keyshia's iced heart locket..once you fellas get your eyes out of her boobs you'll peep what I am talking about :-). This issue of King hits stands April 21st.

The Dream Confirms Tour

The Dream has just confirmed that he will be going on tour with Keyshia Cole. Earlier this morning, The Dream stopped by BET's 106th and Park Countdown on 105.1 and told Terrance that he and Keyshia will be headed out on tour. As of right now they are working out the dates so check back with M.Y. for tour dates.

Side Order: This will be a very interesting tour. Keyshia Cole's album was OK, but the best album she has put out; and it spent 4 consecutive weeks at number 1 on Billboards Top R&B/ Hip Hop albums charts.

Christina Milian happened to be on the show as well with The Dream and when Terrance asked them about their relationship, they denied it (of course) and said that "they were working with one another". That's funny, because it was just reported yesterday that The Dream proposed to Christina with a $200,000 diamond ring. Things that make you go hmmmm.

Keyshia Cole covers Vibe Pt. 2

Last week I posted the cover of Vibe's style issue with Keyshia Cole on the cover and here is another Vibe cover also the style issue with Keyshia and her mother Frankie.

Not the best cover.

Is it me or does this cover make you think of...

mmmmm...I could use some of that right now especially that one right there with the white chocolate drizzling; I love Godiva! Anyhow...

I have to say, that Frankie has really grown on me. I love the fact that she is out of pocket and not ashamed of being herself. So unpredictable and so funny yet wise in her own way, Frankie has really become more than just Keyshia Cole's mother. Ain't it amazing what a little pocket change can do for you? But seriously, It may be just a bit much that she's on the cover with Keyshia. No paticular occassion, no reason at all?! Couldn't this have waited until Mother's Day? I'm just saying.

Keyshia's been doing big big things this year as well as last year and I see nothing but positive things in her future. Hopefully, she remains humble and down to earth and doesn't allow her success to go to her head like most artists.

Side Order: Do y'all remember the episode when Keyshia wanted Frankie to go with her and her adopted mother to the spa and Frankie said "I got to do a show. They want me to do a quick run through for $1000"?! LOL I thought that part was so funny because just 2 seasons ago we were visiting her in jail and she was looking a...well..you know. Time sure does fly when you're getting paid...

Conversations with Keyshia Cole

Keyshia talks about her album and the success it has seen thus far. She also goes into convo about her new artist Amina and the fact that she thinks she will do well, talk about confidence. Keyshia also brings up a track that she and R. Kelly worked on for her album.

I must say that although I'm sure what R. Kelly did in his personal time was his business, I feel artists need to think twice before working with him because he is clearly a tad bit mentally disturbed. Plus, I just can't get past the fact that I was once a huge fan of Kelly and that a good majority of his songs might have just been intended for my teenage group at the time, go figure...

Keyshia Cole does Vibe

Keyshia Cole is Vibe's cover girl for their March issue and oooohh weeee that's a hot cover! I am impressed with Vibe, getting all artistic and ish.

Doesn't it remind you of...



Keyshia is really about getting that worldwide appeal and has channeled her femme fatale for this cover shot. She has officially reclaimed her number one spot from the Notorious soundtrack on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip Hop albums chart.

Keyshia Cole "You Complete Me"

Here is the new video from Keyshia Cole for her single "You Complete Me" off of her album A Different Me. The video is very nice on the eyes. I am really starting to like Keyshia. She's evolved into a very personable young woman and she looks great!

The video is compiled of two seperate scenes; one being various shots of Keyshia and the other being of a wedding that basically gives meaning to the lyrics in the song. Overall, it's a very simple yet cute video.

I give this video a yummy A for Keyshia's fabulosity level going up a few notches..you look good girl!

Side Order: I really do like her reality show. Isn't it crazy how Frankie can still pull men in?! She changes them like every other episode! "This is my man"...
