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.

“Geffen Records platinum-selling
songwriter and recording star/BET Reality TV icon KEYSHIA COLE is currently
in the studio recording her third (3rd) CD which is slated for release
Christmas 2008. On this untitled release, Keyshia has already started work
with top producers including Polow Da Don, Nephew and Scott Storch to name
a few. The third disc will follow two highly popular platinum-selling CD’s:
2005′s The Way It Is and 2007′s Just Like You.”

Keyshia’s keepin real busy.

In June, she “promises to debut her new
artist Amina on Imani Entertainment (a label she owns with manager, Manny
Halley) through Geffen Records… Keyshia Cole will also be announcing a
major deal she has with a hair care line as well as an 11-city tour with a
corporate brand.”

Keyshia intimately discusses growing up hard in Oakland, only to become an icon. “Now I’ve overcome everything,” she tells Smith, “And I’m looking in the mirror, only to figure out who I am.”

Keyshia’s not afraid to expose her feelings. We love that.

What do you think about Keyshia’s look?

Happy Birthday Keyshia Cole.  We love you!

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.

Here’s a video of the single, Let It Go off the upcoming cd. This song is fire! Kim and Missy make it even better.

Also Eurweb‘s reporting…

“Next week, Benny Boom will shoot a video for the first single, “Let It Go,” featuring cameos from guest artists Missy Elliott and Lil’ Kim.”

‘Keyshia Cole is spreading holiday cheer to her hometown of Oakland and the Bay Area with the purchase of $10,000 worth of toys from her local Target for the annual 106 KMEL radio Toy Drive. 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.
