Hugely successful Grammy nominated R&B singer and
songwriter Keyshia Cole is set to close out 2008 with a bang. Three songs from
her second album reached number one (#1) status — “Let It Go” (w/Missy Elliott
and Lil Kim), “I Remember” and “Heaven Sent.” Her reality show “The Way It Is”
became the most-watched program in BET’s history, and with season three having
started yesterday, November 11th, Keyshia Cole is sure to make history again.
Keyshia’s third album, A Different Me – Executive Produced by Keyshia, Manager
Manny Halley and Geffen Records Chairman Ron Fair is set for release on
Tuesday, December 16, 2008.

Her first single, “Playa Cardz Right” featuring Tupac (an early mentor of Cole’s) has already garnered a top 15
chart position in its first three weeks.

All of the songs for A Different Me were written or co-written by Keyshia with
production from award-winning producers such as Ron Fair, Polow Da Don, the Trackmasters, The Runners, Kwame and
Neffu. Guest appearances include Kanye
West, Nas, a duet with Monica,
and a posthumous appearance from Tupac.

 

Keyshia Cole is the definitive soul singer to emerge in this
decade, and she is in good company. Over the past seven decades, precious few R
& B females have touched the hearts of America. From Billie Holiday to
Sarah Vaughn, Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, Aretha Franklin, Tina Turner,
Gladys Knight, Whitney Houston, and Mary J. Blige – Keyshia possesses the same
innate quality of telling the truth through song like her predecessors. Her
pain becomes your pain, her joy, your joy.
