Take Me Away

I can't say I'm the biggest fan of Keyshia Cole!

I loved her first album, it had that raw fresh vibe that most artists have when they first release their music. Although, (and you can disagree if you want to) I feel that once artists become successful, their hunger dies and the music they release after their success does not channel that same passion. I don't know if its because they are no longer 'suffering' so they don't have that hunger or if its because they feel they don't have to prove anything to anyone so don't commit to producing GREAT albums and settle on mediocre just as long as they're looked after.

Either way, many artists have released amazing debut albums and the follow ups are a FLOP! I liked a few tracks from her 2nd album but not that many from her 3rd! She might have a winner on her hands with this one though - I really like it. I understand her, I get that she's happy, she has evolved from 'I Shoulda Cheated' and 'I Changed My Mind'... She really shows that change is good with this song, I hope her album says the same.
