Singer Keyshia Cole is really sitting on top of the world right now. Not only has her latest CD “Just Like You” re-entered the top 10- but her new single “I Remember” has gone to #1 on the R n’ B charts. And if that wasn’t enough, producer Rodney Jerkins, who is back in demand because of his recent work with Janet Jackson, revealed in an interview last week that he will be working with Keyshia on her new album, which is said to have a more pop sound. To top things off, Beyonce apparently will be writing/collaborating with Keyshia on her new album as well.

Singer Keyshia Cole was spotted over the weekend performing at the NFL PLAYERS Party prior to Super Bowl XLII. The singer performed wearing a black chicken feathered vest (lol, I couldn’t hold that in) and a noticeably darker do. I can’t decide whether I really like this new look or not as the quality and angle of the picture is not so good. My first impression however was a thumbs down. Keyshia, like Mary and Beyonce before her, has worn her hair light brown for so long that I just cannot imagine them without it. Mary I believe can and has pulled off black hair in the past. Keyshia and Beyonce however are not having the same luck. But that’s just my opinion. What do you guys think? Does Keyshia’s new do get a thumbs up or thumbs down?

Keyshia Cole latest CD, “Just Like You”, hasn’t been out for six months and yet the singer says her record label; Geffen, is already pressuring her to have a new album ready for the Christmas season. This is bad news as far as I am concerned because in my opinion artists need time to rest and rejuvenate so they can live a little and come back with fresh and new ideas. Throwing albums together in a couple of months may work for fluffy pop acts but I believe Keyshia’s fans want more than a bunch songs thrown together for the sake of appeasing the record label. They want Keyshia herself. They want Keyshia to come back singing about her life, her pains and her experiences. In other words, they don’t want “Umbrella” from Keyshia. They want some real soul.
