Following Nicki Minaj’s appearance on Monday, Keyshia Cole took over “106 & Park” on Tuesday. The “Enough of No Love” singer stopped by to promote her new album Woman to Woman. She shared what she’s learned about the industry (“Trust less”) and gave props to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.
“As a man to respect his woman in that way, I think it’s huge,” Keysh said of the famous couple. “Everybody’s trying too hard to be gangsta, I’m hard, and I gotta put on this persona in front of my dudes, but if you a real man, you respect your lady regardless.”
She reminisced on some of her red carpet looks and her first encounter with Tupac. “He came in the studio all crunk and loud. He just had a star aura about him,” said Keyshia of the late rap icon.
Her husband Daniel Gibson also called in to discuss their Thanksgiving plans and reality show, “Keyshia & Daniel: Family First.”
Keyshia Cole celebrated the release of her new album Woman to Woman with a show at Best Buy Theater in New York City last night. The Oakland songstress surprised her fans when she brought out Ashanti to perform their new duet for the first time.
“I’ve got a special guest tonight,” said Keysh before Ashanti appeared onstage for “Woman to Woman.” The ladies showed their tight bond, embracing at the end.
Keyshia is plotting a “Woman to Woman” tour for 2013. “I want powerful singers, Brandy, possibly, Melanie Fiona, possibly,” she told the Los Angeles Times. “Just singers that can really blow but also have some things and records out right now. We’re working that out right now, so that could be a February-March.”
Chicago was the place to be last night as hip-hop and R&B’s finest came to town to perform at WGCI’s Big Jam 2012 at Allstate Arena. The star-studded bill featured Usher, Rick Ross, Keyshia Cole, Kelly Rowland, Fat Joe, and Future.
Keyshia brought down the house with her latest singles “Enough of No Love” and “Trust and Believe,” Kelly Rowland turned up the heat with “Motivation,” and Usher shared the stage with Rick Ross for “Lemme See.”
Fresh from his “Single Ladies” tour, Chi-town’s own R. Kelly delivered a surprise set much to the delight of the hometown crowd.
Keyshia Cole and Ashanti keep it real on “Woman to Woman,” the title track off Keyshia’s fifth album, available Monday. The ladies sing about a man who they are both having a relationship with, but instead of fighting about it, they are able to sit down and work through the situation.
“It’s her point of view against my point of view in a hypothetical scenario,” Keyshia told ThisIs50.
“I appreciate her realness and the gutterness that she brings to the table,” she said of her collaborator. “I know she gets really glammed up, but she’s still gutter. Her songwriting skills are off the chain, so I definitely wanted to incorporate that from a different woman’s point of view.”
Keyshia Cole brings the drama in the cinematic video for “Trust and Believe,” the second single off her upcoming album Woman to Woman, in stores November 19. KC has had enough of her cheating boyfriend (played by “Boss” actor Rotimi), but will she kick him to the curb?

With less than two weeks to go until its release, the R&B songstress teases with snippets of the 15 tracks, which include the Lil Wayne-assisted single “Enough of No Love” and “Trust and Believe,” plus collaborations with Ashanti (“Woman to Woman”), T.I. (“Forever”), Robin Thicke (“Next Move”), and Meek Mill (“Zero”). Target will carry a special edition featuring two additional tracks, “Wonder” and “Can’t Make U Love Me.”
“This album is not about me. The album is about the fans that really want to hear things that help them and give them inspiration to get over dudes that do them wrong,” said Keyshia.
Woman to Woman is available for pre-order on Amazon and will hit stores everywhere on November 19.
Keyshia Cole has had enough of the lies. The Oakland songstress kicks her man to the curb on “Zero,” a collaboration with Meek Mill off her upcoming album Woman to Woman, due November 19.
“But now it’s time for you to man up ’cause I’m taking back what’s mine/ You see it pays to tell the truth, look at what you had to lose/ Should think before you do,” sings Keysh before Meek spits a verse about getting caught in a lie.
In addition to the Maybach Music MC, the album features collaborations with Ashanti, Robin Thicke, T.I., Lil Wayne, and Elijah Blake.
