There's no doubting that Keyshia Cole has led a life that many can relate to. Growing up in Oakland, California, life was not all roses for Keyshia Cole, the trials and tribulations came thick and fast and threatened to dampen her spirit and quash her goal of becoming a songstress. A flurry of cascading flame red curls add an exclamation mark to a svelte physique and take-no-prisoners attitude, you know how we do! So she's definitely got the R&B diva image down, so what about the substance? Why else would Beyonce be condemning "nasty girls" in one video for example, and then grinding and writhing in later music videos shaking what her Mamma gave her and talking about her "Jelly."Ī scantily clad Keyshia Cole does enough bouncing of her own in her music videos for "I Just Want It To Be Over" and the Kanye West produced "I Changed My Mind". This leads many down the path of image over substance, because come on, let's face it, sex sells. That is a tall order for any 21-year-old to deliver on and it seems that in an already male dominated industry, our female artists not only have to compete for recognition, but also for the right to be accepted on their own terms. Keyshia Cole's debut album The Way It Is has only just hit the stores and already she has been dubbed the next Mary J.
