I have decided to review Keyshia Cole's new album "Just Like You". It's being released this month and is the follow up to 2005's "The Way It Is". The first single is "Let It Go", a US R&B #1, which features Missy Elliot and Lil' Kim.1. Let It Go [Featuring Missy Elliot & Lil' Kim]
The first single, every Keyshia fan knows this one. It's a great 90's slowjam and Missy and Kim's raps are great. It's really catchy and the video is good too.
2. Didn't I Tell You [Featuring Too $hort]
Wow! Didn't see this one coming. It kind of sounds like a song that Ciara or Kelis would record, but Keyshia sounds great on this. It's really fresh, really upbeat and would sound great in the clubs. Possible new single maybe?
3. Fallin' Out
Wow this has a really cool old school vibe going on. It can be a tad repetitive but Keyshia's vocals are on point and I've read on other sites that this is a contender for a single!
4. Give Me More
One of the standout tracks for me. The track has such a good beat and its really catchy! I reccomend this song highly.
5. I Remember
This one sounds like a Mary J. Blige song to me. It's nice enough, but nothing special. But once again, Keyshia's vocals are outstanding. Also, it sounds similar to Keyshia's hit single "Love".
6. Shoulda Let You Go [Featuring Amina]
DarkChild produced this one, and it shows. This is the second single and it sounds like Mary J's "Enough Cryin'", which DarkChild also produced. Very good song, a highlight.
7. Heaven Sent
This is my favourite!!!!!!!! It's so sweet, it won't be everyone's cup of tea but I love it. The lyrics are beautiful.
8. Same Thing [Interlude]
Keyshia singing/talking over a nice beat. Not bad, but not essential to the album!
9. Got To Get My Heart Back
Hmmm not a bad track, but not as good as the first 7 songs on the album. It doesnt' really go anywhere for me.
10. Was It Worth It?
Another standout track. Really deep song and B. Cox did a good job on the production of this.
11. Just Like You
Kind of reminds me of a Mariah Carey type of song, it's a good title track - but like "Got To Get My Heart Back", it's nothing special. Bit annoying.
12. Losing You [Featuring Anthony Hamilton]
Very old school! Anthony Hamilton fans will love this, but I'm not so convinced. It can be a little boring listening to it, but it's not awful.
13. Last Night [Featuring Diddy]
We all know this one! A great song, and a different edit to Diddy's version. It was a massive hit for Keyshia and its good that she included this on the album.
14. Work It Out
Probably the weakest track, but it's a good album closer. Nothing special to say about this song at all.

I'll tell you what I think about it. B-O-R-I-N-G. I'm listening to that Jill Scott right now and it eclipses that KC by far. And, don't get me wrong, I'm a Keyshia Cole fan, so I'm hoping she bounces back, but the cd is pretty weak.
well at first i didnt really like it...i guess i was expecting it to be like her last album...but the more i listened to it grew on me... there are two or three songs i wont listen to, but it's warming up to me...my fav's are "Didnt I tell you", "Just like you", "gotta get my heart back", and "Shoulda let you go"...
