Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions

Album Description

Born Lauren Keyana Palmer in Robbins, IL, a small town just outside Chicago, Keke showed vocal promise as a five-year-old when she belted out Jesus Loves Me in her church choir. As a young girl, she honed her vocal skills practicing in her singer/mother’s home recording studio. A lthough music was her passion, Keke’s first big break came via her 2004 screen acting debut in Barbershop 2: Back in Business, playing the part of Queen Latifah’s niece. It was immediately apparent that Keke had star potential, so the Palmer family decided to give her the best chance to pursue her career and relocate to California. I n 2006, Keke appeared as the lead character, Akeelah Anderson, in the critically acclaimed, award-winning film Akeelah and the Bee. Shortly thereafter, Keke appeared in Tyler Perry’s Medea’s Family Reunion, which was number #1 at the box office for two consecutive weeks. She next lit up the small screen with her starring role in the Disney Channel hit movie, Jump In! Shortly after Akeelah, Keke signed with Atlantic Records.

One of the Best Underated Albums Ever! - Reviewed on 2008-08-22

This happens a lot to young singers, who aren't really in the same lime light at Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers, and so on.

Like Keke Palmer, her 2007 album, So Uncool, had to be on the the years best albums from a teenager. And the album didn't even chart on the Billboard charts. It sold around 5,000 copies as of today.

The album is really good. My favorite songs would have to be "Bottoms Up," "Rainbow," and "The Game Song."

It's hard to believe that someone with such amazing vocals can be only fourteen!! Boy, what an amazing and surprising album this was!! I found it in a giveaway bin at my mom's job, and I decided to take it, only before hearing Keep It Movin', track one of this stellar album.

I never would have thought that a fourteen-year-old could produce such amazing vocals. It's an amazing album that everybody should get!

I was already a fan of KeKe from her appearances in movies (Akeelah & The Bee, Jump In and Madea's Family Reunion). But i was really glad to see her on a couple songs on the Jump In soundtrack and that got me interested in her as a music artist. Well today i found her cd while i was out shopping and of course picked it up on the spot.

Very wise choice indeed. I like the upbeat songs quite a bit here like (Keep It Movin, The Game Song and another fav in Footwurkin'). The songs flow from one to another. There are one or two that might seem silly or childish to some but she still handles them with ease of an artist that's been in the business for years. She also writes on four of the 12 songs on So Uncool (Rainbow, Bottoms Up, Skin Deep and Wake Up Call) along with her sister.

If there's one song that i really enjoyed it would be "Hood Anthem" it just gives you a great feeling especially if your from where she's talking about the hood. I feel it and can totally identify with some of the things said in the song. It's an excellent closer to a debut cd from a new artist that should be around for quite awhile. Nice first step, KeKe. You've got my attention.

This album is actually quite good, especially for having been made when she was only 13. This is coming from someone who is an average fan of music and the hip hop genre. I got this CD from iTunes after being surprisingly hooked on her single "Keep it Movin". Along with that song she has at least 3 other addictive songs and a couple more solid ones on this CD including "Bottoms Up", "Hood Anthem", "The Game Song", and "Footwurkin". KeKe Palmer was a solid actress in Akeelah and the Bee and I think that with some more mature material she could excel even further by continuing in music. However, my only complaint is that her material clashes in maturity. One of her songs on this CD is a rant about video games and the video game 'Madden', another one is about coming from and growing up in the hood. She is only 13 and has never set foot in high school and I think that some of her material is over-mature and some is a little under-mature, though the songs are catchy none-the-less. I think that in a couple more years her next CD will be very good.
