I've never been a real fan. Her music was always good and I would listen to a song if it came on the radio, but I was never a die hard fan. However late last year I had the opportunity to watch her reality TV show called "Keyshia and Daniel: Family First," and think that show just really opened my eyes more to the woman behind the music.
Yes I had heard snippets about her life story, but I guess until I finally heard it from her mouth and saw it with my own two eyes, that was the only time I could really related. This was when the penny dropped.
I was so happy to see that Keyshia had finally found her happiness, her happily ever after. I saw her in a whole new light of being a mother and a wife.(We all know what a hard job that is and how much it changes us all.) And I remember on one of the episodes she said that for the first time she had to get other song writers in to help her write music as she was no longer in that heartbroken place. I was sooooo happy for her. There is nothing more refreshing than being granted the opportunity to watch love unfold before your eyes.
Anyway that show was a really short one with only 8 episodes so I waited patiently for her next show to come on. It took a while but finally a few weeks ago they started advertising the new show her in South Africa. The name had changed: "Keyshia Cole: All in." I was so surprised. So I just had to find out what was up.
To my disappointed I found out that she and her hubby had had some marital problems and had separated. I was so angry!! He knew the place of hurt and heartbreak she had come from. I thought out of anyone in this world he would understand NOT to do that. But I do hope that they resolve the differences and overcome their problems and re-unite. (I'm a hopeless romantic and always hope for the best.)
I started following Keyshia on Facebook and Twitter and decided to go and get some of her music.
You guys know me, as long as a song sounds good and speaks to my heart I'm down to listen to it. And this is how I came up with the title for this Music Corner Title.
I listened to a couple of her songs but one song in particular just blew me away. The song was entitled "Love."
Upon doing my research for this blog post I was blown away to realise that this song was her first single (ever!!!). I sort of feel dumb for not knowing that. But I just loved the way she sang in this song. Especially that part where she sings "I fooouuuunddd love." She just does something with her voice that is unbelievable. (I've tried imitating it and believe you me it sounds nothing like her :))
I just love the way Keyshia presents herself. She is creative beyond words. She's always changing her look and especially her hair.I love her tatoos and how she can go from being "hood" to such a lady. She's outgoing, adventurous and you can just see that when she loves she does it for real.
The posts that she has been putting up on Facebook are so real. There is no pretending and you can hear that she is speaking from her heart. Hell at times I think she's in my head because she puts up posts about things that I would say!!
When she talks, when she sings you can just hear how authentic she is.
Her star is still rising and believe me, soon she will be given her due respect for the creative artist that she is.
Here are the lyrics to "Love." Enjoy. XoXo T.
"Love"
[Verse 1]
I used to think that I wasn't fine enough
And I used to think that I wasn't wild enough
But I won't waste my time tryin' to figure out
Why you playing games, whats this all about
And I can't believe,
Your hurting me
I met your girl, what a difference
What you see in her
You ain't seen in me
But i guess it was all just make-believe
[Chorus]
Oh, Love
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found..... I found you......
Love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found..... I found you.....
[Verse 2]
Now you're gone, what am I gonna do
So empty
My heart, my soul can't go on
Go on without you....
My rainy days fade away when you,
Come around please tell me baby
Why you go so far away
Why you go...
[Chorus]
Love......
Never knew what I was missing
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found..... I found you......
Love
Never knew what I was missin'
But I knew once we start kissin'
I found..... I found you.....
Who would have known.
I'd find you.
Now you're gone, what am I gonna do
So empty
My heart, my soul can't go on
Go on baby without you....
Rainy days fade away
When you come around
Say your here to stay
With me boy
I don't want you to leave me
I need you.........
[Chorus]
[fade out]
