I took a risk on this CD. The few songs from Ms. Cole's debut CD never impressed me and I didn't quite believe the hype of her being the new Mary J, especially since I don't believe we need two. Then Let it Go hit the airwaves and I just had to check this CD out. Believe it or not the CD has been on my table for nearly a year. Turns out this is a great CD to workout to. I wished there were a few less ABW (Angry Black Woman)syndrome songs, but it's still a project worth checking out.

love this album miss cole's 2nd album is as good if not better than the 1st.

As of this year there are only three R&B albums (out of probably 12) from last year that I'm still listening to and hearing more reasons why I really like them. And that is Alicia Keys "As I Am", Ledisi's "Lost & Found (People don't sleep on that album. It's grown and sexy.)and this nice work. I'm still feeling some songs from Mario's "Go" and Lyfe Jennings' "Lyfe Changes" right now but for albums I can listen to all the way through, these three are the way to go. Okay everybody wants to compare the direction Keyshia is taking musically to Mary J. Blige in her My Life/Share My World/Mary vibe but I disagree. Keyshia (and her record label) wanted to give her a more polished approach than her first album (which was good but "rough" around the edges in more ways than one). The results was this. She approaches ballads in more smooth approach (I Remember) versus what she did with "Love" (I like that song but you know she oversang that). The singles were all great. The best being the acoustic "Heaven Sent". I also love "Let it Go". Sample is overplayed but she pulled it off. And I really like "Give Me More" and "Falling Out". The main point of this review is that the singles were hot, and if you like them you should definitely pick her album.

She has taken this Cd to another Level. If you didnt have the Last Cd.Keyshia Cole - The Way It Is you missing OUT. If you didnt See both of her dvd collections of her reality Show YOU Missed Out. I cant See why they Voted so Low On this Cd she Came Better and a Little More Polised and in Shape. She sat back and had talks with Mary J Blige because she been there and she wanted Keyshia to know that theres a better way to be a Women about your Business and Classy. She put her heart in this One. You can tell she was Singing about her Sister Sistutions tooo! and thats good. that women can come together and have that unconditional love for one another. Whom Ever Writes a Review you have too actual listen to the Cd More than Once before your make a wack commet on something! if you not Feeling a Artist then dont Post.

Miss Cole has placed herself on the music scene permanently as a hit maker with this album. Just put it on and let it flow...song after song hit after hit
