yeah it went like 61-74-81-89-48-68 "Been Gone" didn't get a lot of airplay, as in next to nothing. "2U" is still workin it out, two weeks ago it jumped from 39 to 22 on the airplay charts.

Something about her voice lacks quality, which makes the music sound dull. But I do wish her the best regardless of my opinion. :)

She looks as if she has talent, but this has F-L-O-P all over it. Nothing catchy as Ashanti, Beyonce, or Ciara's first outings.

The album isn't that bad, nothing great about it either. But the 'Keshia Chante' remix of ring The Alarm is horrible. And it makes me so mad that they put 'Little Things' on the album, when it was on her first one.

I know, i loved "ring the alarm" the first time she released it and she just made it worse. Other than 2U and Been Gone, the best songs on the album are "Fallen ft. Freeway", "summer love" and "Sorry" but yeah some of the songs on the album are filler.

The album as a whole it's bad. It just sounds really dated. Why would anyone put Freeway on a track in 2007? LOL. I like "Been Gone"... "2U"... "Summer Love"... "Too Much"... "Kiss"... and "Little Things".

she's a really good singer, she just has to get an American producer, so she can make more radio friendly music

Yep! Danja did Too Much which is my favorite track on the album but she worked in MIA (Danja, The Clutch) LA and NY on this album.

The album is kinda bland and forgettable to me. She needs some much catchier material if she wants to break here in the US.

Why not? "Been Gone" is like a nu & improved version of "More Than A Woman"! It's "More Than A Woman" meets Mo's "Street Symphony." Not to mention she looks like 'Liyah. :o

New and improved "More Than A Woman"? I'll agree to disagree with you, LOL. I do think she looks like Aaliyah though.

as much as I love 'Been Gone' (and i LOOOVE Been Gone) Aaliyah was a different artist. For one Keshia's voice is pretty deep and Aaliyah's is higher

I don't know about '2u' though, the video is kinda lame, but after you listen to the song a bunch of times it gets addictive

I listened to her CD today and it was alright. Didn't blow me away but she has a couple catchy songs. "Too Much" is easily my favorite!

How do you guys think "Too Much" would do as a single for the States?

For "Too Much" they would need to test group it but for me I would love for them to release it here. From the lyrics to the production I love everybit of it. "A girl like me Needs to be with somebody Who can handle all my needs I need a guy that will ride for me Is it really"

I didn't know he produced it. I don't have any credits for her CD. That was the only song that really stuck out to me as single material. She has some other catchy stuff but it all sounds a bit dated.
