Surprise, surprise. Keyshia Cole is about to put out an album that isn’t about getting dogged out by some no good man:

Keyshia Cole is staying on top of her game these days, as the R&B star can be seen on hair care ads, magazine covers, promoting her new album and BET reality show. The singer’s new CD “A Different Me,” is due Dec. 16 via Imani/Geffen/Interscope, and her BET reality show, “Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is” begins its third season tonight at 10.

“The first two albums were more … painful,” she says. “It’s a different me this time, a young woman who’s still growing and finding myself, exploring life through different routes musically and in other areas. I wrote more about other people’s situations than my own. I’m moving forward,” she tells Billboard in an exclusive interview.

“A Different Me” features Cole collaborating with Polow Da Don, the Runners, Neffu, Kwame, Orthodox & Ransom and the Trackmasters. Tracks include the lead single “Playa Cardz Right,” featuring a posthumous Tupac Shakur, “Trust,” featuring real-life friend Monica, and the Polow Da Don-produced “Make Me Over.” Cole further hones her ballad skills on the track “You Complete Me” and flashes a sultry side on a cover of R. Kelly’s 1992 No. 1 R&B hit, “Honey Love.”

You might turn your nose up at her family, but you have got to give Keyshia a little bit of credit for how she’s grown as an artist and personally over the years. And after her first two albums, aren’t you at least a little curious about what this 3rd one will sound like?

  • Tracey

  • LADY ARCHITECT (DOING BIG THINGS AT 23)

    TRACEY,

    I AGREE WITH YOU, I LOVED HER 2ND ALBUM SO MUCH. SHE IS TRULY GROWING IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY. THE FIRST ALBUM WAS OK, THE 2ND ALBUM WAS GREAT, AND HOPEFULLY THIS ALBUM WOULD GO BEYOND THE 2ND. THAT IS TRUTH GROWTH. EVEN HER LOOK AND HOW SHE CARRIES HERSELF IS SHAPING UP WHERE SHE’S BECOMING MORE ELEGANT AND LADY LIKE. I HOPE THE RUNNERS PRODUCED A GREAT BALLAD FOR HER. IF YOU EVER HEARD THE SONG “DAMAGED” BY CHRIS BROWN, I LOVE THAT SONG, NOT NECESSARILY CHRIS’S VOICE.

  • Doagae

    I am happy for her! And no, I don’t turn my nose up at her family….

  • Crazy Ass Rodney

    I’m talking deep in that motha fukkir

  • BeWhat?

    Keyshia is def getting her grown woman on! I loved her 2nd album and looking forward to her new one! Go Keyshia

  • Chloe

    I loved her last two albums and can’t wait for the third. Keyshia is my favorite female R&B artist. I can’t wait to watch her show tonight.

    I wish people would stop calling her that offensive term Ghetto. She is just a round the way girl who can sing her behind off. She carries herself in a dignified manner. I have never seen her loud, unruly, and spiraling out of control. Her sister Neffie and Frankie are another story. I won’t say anything bad about them.

  • kenya

    what is she mary j blige reincarnated or what?

  • I Still Can’t Find a Screen name!!!

    she is too cute. I LOVE KEYSHIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • The Bear (I bleed swagger) My dog is STILL GIDDY as hell about Obama’s victory

    lol @ Kenya

    “what is she mary j blige reincarnated or what?”

    That’s is so true but if this formula worked well for Mary (who had a similar beginning as Keyshia) then why should Keyshia try to reinvent the wheel?

  • char

    Keysha Cole is a talented young songwriter,singer and business woman..she is beautiful and she isnt ghetto she comes from the ghetto..and thats what i find beautiful about her is that she is evolving just as MaryJ did!! Everyone has a Frankie in their family and give Keyshia props for looking out for her family!

  • J0EY B

    i want keisha cole so bad!

  • Wifey

    ha ha this bish aint got hardly any comments because shes so wack. I seen a blog called hateonbeyonce.blogspot.com and they went hard on her it was funny as ever!

  • freekyjason

    I like the new look she’s going to have to be the ghetto queen though she has good promos that play her songs until they are worn makes you hate them repetitive chorus does not get it for me

  • ATL

    Well I hope her new album is not too drastically different because her last album “Just Like You” was fire! It was a little repetitive w/the topics, but I loved that album though.

  • adiamondcenter

    gurl you look great!!!!

  • Dulcinae

    I can’t beleieve what the feezie is just read about Keyshia and how it said it’s pretty much okay to turn your nose down to family if we do that we turn I nose also on keyshia she is her family and her family is her. And keeping 100 95% of all families all around the world family has issues as such the difference is that Keyshia Cole put on television for all to see and I love every bit of it within each of her family members I see one of my own family members as well. Keyshia keep up the good work and let all them haters out there keep up the bad work.

  • Katey

    Frankie and Neffe remind me of my family, Keyshia reminds me of a girl i would kick it with. She is REAL she has a great voice and I love her music. I can actually relate to her, i know where she comes from and that makes girls out here in the hood believe they can do what ever they put there minds too! I hope she can break into the “main stream” and get some attention from other people that aren’t watching BET!

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    She has nice curves (in this picture)

  • ***

    I like her. At least, she is authentic.I can’t stand fake people.

  • sour grapes

    Keisha, I wanna marry you, you the best looking chick in the game… I love your swagga sis.

  • Tealeaf

    I like her outfit

  • Necy(aka) Obama girl

    there is something about her….. I like her, and LOVE her music!!!

  • HP

    I watched the show last know and Keyshia really goes through it with Frankie. I love Keyshia’s first and second cd.

  • Wife

    its good that she is growing as an artist

  • nick

    ok off the main subject

    what happened to Amina & Ronek…

    1st album ok,,,2nd great-excellent..

    i hope she can stay in the game with this 3rd album sometimes change is not always best…and her family is a trip, like all of ours (looks like they all want to move in now)

  • Muff

    She is so cute…I love her!!!!!!!

  • Baby girl

    Keyshia is someone I’ve admired ever since she hit the scene with “I changed my mind”. I really feel her and can relate to alot of her experiences. For ya’ll that dissn her calln her ghetto she is the definition of REAL! I’ll be tuned in tonight!

  • MIMORENA76

    i like Keyshia I think she’s one of the very few artist in the game that can sing. And she just seems down to eath and genuinely REAL !
