Based on the ITUNES clips, this sounds much more interesting than the last few Keyshia Cole albums. I can't even tell you one song from those albums. The last album I have of hers is A Different Me and that was...6 years ago.

The production is pretty great, everything else is a bit of a wreck. Her vocals aren't very emotive, considering how personal most of this is.
The only songs I liked were the Intro, NLU, Rick James, Love Letter and She. Rick James is the only one that I really like, the others would be blah album tracks on a good Keyshia album. The rest of the album is STRUGGLE.

She'll be performing "Remember Pt. 2" on the Queen Latifah Show on Friday. If she's smart she'd interpolate the original to remind the public of her biggest hits.

^ I hope so too. She looks so pretty. Speaking of past hits, she recently said she was planning a headlined theater tour. I doubt it'll happen now. The numbers are sad. Ashanti did more and is independent. Really should've just waited for the show to premiere.

Seriously who in the wild f#ck let both Future and Keyshia Cole get in the studio and start rambling over this mediocre Mike Will Made It production and thought it was a good idea to allow it on the album. Love Letter is a mess. Like Frankie and Neffe mess. It's like they were so drunk that they couldn't catch the melody even though it was sitting right in front of them.

That intro is everything. I love it when the beat drop. The video itself is kinda blah but not bad either.

There's actually a six song streak on this album that I LOVE. From "Next Time" to "Believer." I just keep hitting replay on those tracks.

Now that I've digested the album it's actually not that bad overall. The lyrics and lack of melody brings it down but the production is outstanding along with the visuals. It reminds me of The Way It Is" mixed with Calling All Hearts lyrically and rawness. Some of my fav tracks:
Intro N.L.U Next Time Rick James Do That For No Complications (Target exclusive) Believer On Demand Remember Pt 2
Overall I'm pleased. It's unfortunate that this album is going to flop hardcore but at least the visuals were on point.

The Queen Latifah show performance is her sole televised performance this week. :'(
I looooove the song and video. These are some of her best videos in years for the most underpromoted era :'(

"Believer" is a great song. They should release it now.

According to Faith's Breakfast Club interview, Keyshia asked her at one point to executive produce one of her albums but she was too busy. I think this album would have been better if Faith guided it, especially in terms of the writing. I love her backing vocals on the album.

Yea when Faith was promoting Something About Faith she mentioned KC asked her to produce Just Like You and she mentioned she had just gotten pregnant but promised to work with her later and that's why they were on each others albums in 2010. I agree Faith could have provided more input than just background vocals but also served as a GREAT writing partner.

She confirmed that she didn't get to shoot a video for On Demand because of August's hospitalization.

Her performance of IR2 and interview on the QL show. I guess it's the next "single". She doesn't have any other televised performances scheduled but I hope she performs at BGR and the Soul Train Awards. She reconfirms split from Daniel but a divorce has yet to be filed

I'm starting to feel bad for her. Saw some clips of her performing at For Sisters Only this weekend, and she looked an emotional wreck.
