Two popular names in the R&B world about to drop their latest albums. Keyshia Cole and Avant are, IMO, the essence of true R&B. Imperfect, raw, and soulful [in every sense of the word.]
Keyshia Cole's new disc A Different Me basically picks up where Just Like You leaves off. After the disaster that was her Star-Spangled Banner performance, it's clearly evident that she is better at being a 'studio singer' cuz her songs are bang-ING! hmmm... but after all, every performer has their ons and offs. In true Keyshia fashion, she sticks with that she knows best, drumming bass lines and infectious hooks - just listen to the intro to the damn album. she kills! Keyshia seems to branch out, a little, on this album. Her song "This Is Us" is more pop influenced and actually works for Little Miss Keyshia. A Different Me hits stores Dec. 16.

BRAND NEW, TRUST [feat. Monica]
Avant is back with his fifth album, the self-titled, Avant. With two certified platinum and two gold albums under his belt, he's sticking to what he knows, [which he should], the straight-up R&B sound. The first single off the album, "When It Hurts", has reached number 18 on the US R&B/Hip-Hop charts. However, on certain songs like Perfect Gentleman, I can't help but here left-over Usher material. Avant's album is in stores now.
