Keyshia Cole’s Mother Not Dead

vibe-keyshia-cole-mom-coverNasty rumors surfaced recently, that Keyshia Cole’s mother Franie Lons (pictured with her on the March ’09 cover of Vibe magazine) had died in a car crash.

Spokesman for Keyshia quickly refuted the rumor.  “Imani Entertainment has received a huge amount of inquiries in regard to the rumor about Keyshia Cole’s biological mom, Frankie Lons, having recently passed in an automobile accident,” the statement read.  “The rumor has absolutely NO truth to it — Frankie has not been in any accident of any kind and is doing well at home in Atlanta.”

Cole’s manager, Manny Halley, confirmed the information to MTV News. In an e-mail, Halley said Frankie is “100% alive” and added that he recently hung out with Frankie, Cole and the singer’s sister Neffe, and all are well.”

We’re glad everyone’s ok.

Keyshia Cole – Just Like You Review

just-like-you.jpgKeyshia Cole’s sophomore cd Just Like You, hit the streets yesterday. Of course, we downloaded a copy off Amazon’s new Mp3 service. Amazon’s Mp3s work on any media player. Well, Keyshia’s smoky voice and lyrics killed it.

Let It Go, the sassy single released weeks before the rest of the cd, features Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott. This song, and the video, sets the mood for the rest of tracks. Keyshia sings about a girl hittin’ the town after just breaking up. Keyshia moves on to Fallin’ Out. She goes on to explain the lack of communication between her and her man. The struggle of the relationship. Give Me More is a fitting title for the next track. Why can’t her man be like he used to be? Why can’t he fulfill her needs? Slow ballads fill the middle tracks. Maybe a few too many, but none that we would skip over when listening.

  1. Let It Go 3:58
  2. Didn’t I Tell You 3:51
  3. Fallin’ Out 4:26
  4. Give Me More 3:53
  5. I Remember 4:20
  6. Shoulda Let You Go 3:40
  7. Heaven Sent 3:52
  8. Same Thing 1:35
  9. Got To Get My Heart Back 4:17
  10. Was It Worth It? 3:36
  11. Just Like You 4:05
  12. Losing You 3:49
  13. Last Night 4:15
  14. Work It Out 4:03
  15. Let It Go 3:40

Got To Get My Heart Back picks the beat back up. Keyshia contemplates the relationship. What went wrong? How can she mend her heart? The title track, Just Like You, steps away from singing about the relationship. Focus moves to Keyshia. She’s “just like you”, lettin’ us know a little about the real Keyshia… the person who lives day by day like everyone does.

The tracks end with more contemplation over her relationship. There’s also a remix of Let It Go, with TI and Young Dro. As a whole we enjoyed it. There may be a few too many ballads, but Keyshia Cole’s sultry voice adds a unique flavor to every track. This is a successful followup to The Way It Is.

Check out the sample tracks of Just Like You here.

Keyshia Cole Spreads Holiday Cheer

We always knew Keyshia had a big heart, and she showed it this Chistmas Holiday season. Nelly, Beyonce, and Trick Daddy did their part too.

The toys will be distributed to many foundations between today and Dec. 24. Currently, the R&B songstress is working on her new album, to be released in the second quarter of 2007.’

We love you Keyshia! Thanks for giving back to the community, and good luck with the new cd.
