Cole Continues Surge with 2 Grammy Nods
Just Like You, Keyshia Cole’s sophomore album, continues to keep the diva in the minds of music fans everywhere. The album, which recently earned the songstress 2 Grammy nominations, was recently certified Platinum by the RIAA. Just Like You adds to the tremendous success of her 2005 platinum debut album The Way It Is. Last week Keyshia was honored with 2 Grammy award nominations: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Let It Go" and Best Contemporary R&B Album for Just Like You. Keyshia’s 2nd album debuted at #2 on the Billboard Top 200 and #1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart in October, selling close to 300,000 copies in its first week.
With the release of the first single from Just Like You ,the Missy Elliott-produced "Let It Go", which features Elliott and Lil' Kim, Keyshia Cole became the first female in the history of the 14-year old Nielsen BDS-based Urban chart to land three consecutive #1 chart positions. "Let It Go," follows "I Should Have Cheated", which topped the list in December 2005, and "Love", from April 2006.
Cole’s latest album drew a range of rave reviews from most of the major publications. Billboard wrote: "'Just Like You' is rife with sincere lyrics about troubled relationships paired with soaring vocals and top-notch production." Cole garnered even greater praise from The New York Times, which wrote: "This is a likable and well sung album... Ms. Cole may be incapable of making any other kind."
The Oakland native's phenomenal popularity continues as she reaches #5 on Radio and Records Urban chart and #6 on Billboard's Top R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with her second single "Shoulda Let You Go", which features Amina, Keyshia’s new artist on Imani Entertainment, the label she co-owns with her manager Manny Halley. Keyshia's video for her third single "I Remember", produced by Gregory G. Curtis, Sr., the same talented producer that brought us the hit single "Love", has just gone to video outlets and is beginning to heat up the charts as well.
Keyshia Cole established herself as a fan and critic favorite with one of the biggest hits of 2005, "I Should Have Cheated," followed by one of the most played songs of 2006, "Love"; both from ”The Way It Is”. She earned Vibe’s Next Award and a 2007 ASCAP Award for R&B/Hip-Hop Song for "Love". Keyshia has also received numerous nominations at the BET Awards, Soul Train Music Awards, American Music Awards, NAACP Image Awards, and Teen Choice Awards.
After headlining her House Of Blues tour in the summer, Keyshia is now performing on tour with R. Kelly. This weekend she'll grace the stage in Los Angeles and her hometown-Oakland, California.
