Keyshia Cole "A Different Me" Review---Grade D

"Make Me Over": WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!?! Wackness personified, it sounds some old Amerie bullshit, very disappointing, it reminds me of "Pocketbook" off of Jennifer Hudson's record but it's not as good. NEXT! (0 for 1)
"Please Don't Stop": This one is a real different look for Keyshia. She sounds like a broke down Apollonia on this one. I appreciate her trying something new but the song is garbage! NEXT!
(0 for 2)
"Erotic":I like it, it's really unexpected for Keyshia Cole but I would bump this. She must have a new man because so far all the records sound like she has someone putting it on her. (1 for 3)
"You Complete Me":I reviewed this the other day, the blog posted "Phoning it In". This is the second single, I expected more and I'm not feeling it whatsoever! NEXT! (1 for 4)
"No Other":For some reason it reminds me of "Heaven Sent" which is a good thing, that'sa new classic. This is the jam right here, I hope she makes a video for it real soon. (2 for 5)
"Oh-Oh, Yea-Yea":This one features Nas, it's cool a nice little groove to get in the mood to. Keyshia has definately evolved with this record. This track would never have been on the previous projects. But it's good, I must add Nas was unnecessary to the track. (3 for 6)
"Playa Cardz Right":You've all heard it. My beef with this record is that its a 3 year old record she took from Pac's album and released it and nobody gives her any shit about it. If Beyonce released "Hollywood" as the first single for "Sasha Fierce" she'd never hear the end of it. This song is phoned in anyway. NEXT! (3 for 7)
"Brand New":Beautiful record, very 1993 but that's a good thing. It's got a nice quiet storm vibe to it. Very nice record. (4 for 8)
"Trust":This song features Monica, and I must admit after reading that I was expecting the ghetto level to rise to epic levels like J.Hud and Fantasia's hood chick anthem "I'm His Only Woman", but instead they came up with a forgettable song. NEXT! (4 for 9)
"Thought You Should Know":ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! Boring! NEXT! (4 for 10)
"This is Us":This is a cool record but the last four songs all sound like they have a similar track but the hook on this saves this record. (5 for 11)
"Where this Love Could End Up": Boring song, has a little more base than the previous four but still sounds the same. NEXT! (5 for 12)
"Beautiful Music": It's official Keyshia Cole just doesn't give a fuck that's the only way I can describe this song and pretty much the album. (5 for 13)

Summary: We're in a recession don't go broke buying this shit, your money will just go to Frankie's wig fund. This album is garbage and this is coming from a fan, don't do it. Holla!
