Rap-Up.com || Keyshia Cole Readies New Album for February

Less than a year after releasing her latest album, Keyshia Cole is back in the lab cooking up new material. The soulstress is eyeing an early 2012 release for the as-yet-untitled project.

The follow-up to last December’s Calling All Hearts is due in February, Keyshia revealed on Twitter. She has been writing with hitmaker Ester Dean and says the new material is unlike her previous four albums.

“I’m in love with these songs I’ve recorded. REAL TALK,” wrote the mother of one, who is also scheduled to hit the studio with Boi-1da (Drake, Eminem).

Earlier this year, the 29-year-old singer split from her longtime manager Manny Halley and is now being represented by music executive Kevin Liles, who manages Trey Songz.

In between music, she is taping her new reality series “Family First” and will celebrate her marriage to Daniel “Boobie” Gibson in an island ceremony in Hawaii.

Keyshia has definitely lost some team after her 3rd album “A Different Me” was released. Although the album did sell 950,000 copies there were not hit singles that the majority caught on to. Her last album was garbage but she might have more of a chance to make an impact with this one since J Sullivan has taken a back seat. Keyshia vocally is one notch above Keri Hilson but one notch below Melanie Fiona which equals a very average singer.

@Omar, obviously you cant read because I was talking about HER VOCALS. My facts are straight since I said her 3rd album sold 950,000 copies. She has sold both than Melanie and Jazmine but she cant sing better than them.

@Omar,

…so are you knocking her for flopping or for ACTUALLY going gold?

How about you complete the task you are judging so harshly on and maybe, just MAYBE your opinion will mean something.

Sideline critics are people who can’t do so they judge those who are at least trying.

@OMGoodness it SHANNON, I so agree with you. I believe that people on these blogs who say they didn’t like one song or that KC switched up her style DID NOT listen to CALLING ALL HEARTS. If you love HEAVEN SENT, you would also love SO IMPOSSIBLE, LONG WAY DOWN & WHAT YOU DO TO ME from her last album.

As long as she continues to do straight r&b I will be a fan and continue to support her!

Anytime I see a MOTHER trying to make moves, it makes me want to better myself!

Instead of doing the easy, often travelled road of hatred, I’ma need to give Keyshia a thumbs up for pressin on EVEN when so many people have an opinion over a life they have never lived.

I love people that hate! They loud negativity tends to turn into a dull mumble when the success comes. #Never hate on someone that’s tryin to do something positive…that’s insanity.

I’m so sad cause most the haters on here is my black brotha’s and sistahs. Why do we try to hold each other back so much? Don’t you know that when one makes it, we all do? Support. Show love. Develop. Build.

That’s why our people are the most segregated. Damn shame.

First of all you need to spell the artist name correctly. Keyshia, this is her site and how can you ppl come her site and diss her like this. Talk about her music was not this or that. Can any of yall sing? Are any of yall putting platitum albums? The answer is no. How would you feel if this was you and she was doing the same thing to you. That is disrespect. And the way Keyshia is I really do not think she is that way. From her up bringin to now,it shows in her music. Yes it may have started out rough, because that was her then. Now she is in love and settled. If you dont understand so be it.
