Keyshia Cole [2023] - Forever Is A Thing [BMG]


The first release from Keyshia Cole since "I Don’t Wanna Be In Love" in 2021 is "Forever Is A Thing" (out today) and both are expected to be included on her upcoming eighth, as yet unnamed, studio album.

The song is a grief-stricken ballad (co-written by Cole with Larry Griffin Jr. (aka Symbol One) Ron Fair and Sir Tim (Timothy German)) paying tribute to her mother Frankie Lons who, owing to her drug addiction, gave Keyishia up for adoption to family friends aged two. They reconciled years later but her mother passed in July 2021. The song is being released on the eve of the debut of a Lifetime biopic, "Keyshia Cole: This Is My Story", in which Cole plays herself and her mother is played by Debbi Morgan (short trailer below).

It is simply stunning, a beautiful song, beautifully sung and very well produced. This is what soul music should be all about in our book! Never mind all the electronic wizardry, soul music should move you and we don't mean just on the dance floor!

Keyshia is from Oakland, CA, and began her career in music aged 12 when she met MC Hammer for whom she sang BGV's She was later taken under the wing of  Tupac Shakur who promised to help her on her way but was shot in a drive by shooting and died six days later.

She moved to L.A. and was signed by A&M and released her debut album "The Way It Is" in 2005 followed by a further six albums since then and now with an eighth in the pipeline.
