Keyshia One Love Mp3 Download

[Dannie Heinzen]

Love" is a song by American singer Keyshia Cole, written alongside producer Greg Curtis for her debut studio album The Way It Is (2005). The song was released on January 6 as the album's fourth and final single and emerged as the most successful single from the album. It peaked at number 19 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart and number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, becoming her breakthrough record and preceding a string of modestly successful singles, also receiving platinum certification by the RIAA.[1]

"Love" was written by Cole along with producer Greg Curtis.[2] When she moved to Los Angeles in pursuit of a record deal, "Love" was the track that she thought stood the best chance of getting her signed to a label. When she met with A&M Records President Ron Fair, she performed the song, and Fair signed Cole on the spot.[2]

The track tells the story of a girl who is always trying to do her best for her boyfriend, even though she believes that she is never good enough. The lyrics read: "I used to think that I wasn't fine enough and I used to think I wasn't wild enough but I won't waste my time tryin' to figure out why you are playin' games what's this all about?" The song describes the boyfriend's infidelity and Cole's struggle to believe it because she is madly in love with him.[2]

"Love" debuted on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number 82 and rose to number 49 in its second week, becoming the chart's "Greatest Gainer."[3] It slowly moved up the charts with minor setbacks, and eventually reached position 19, becoming Cole's most successful solo charting single up to then until her 2007 song "Let It Go" reached position seven.[3] "Love" also peaked at number three on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[4] Billboard ranked 18th on its 2006 R&B/Hip-Hop Songs year-end chart.[4] "Love" was eventually certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[1]

An accompanying music video for "Love" was directed by Benny Boom.[5] R&B singer Tyrese appears as Cole's boyfriend in the video which was largely shot in various New York City locations. The clip starts as two policemen pull over Cole and Tyrese after she allegedly ran a red light though she denies the accusation. Tyrese appears to be living a double life. Although Cole suspects that he is a criminal, she never confronts him since he gives the impression of being a loving boyfriend. As Cole is watching television, a video of her boyfriend and some other men robbing a bank appears on the screen. After she arrives home from a day of lavish shopping, Cole is confronted by the authorities who ask her if she knows the whereabouts of her boyfriend. Her boyfriend then picks her up, she gets into the driver's seat of the car, and we are taken back to the scene shown at the beginning of the video. In this take, however, the policeman recognizes that it is Cole and calmly calls the whole thing off by asking for her autograph. Cole confronts her boyfriend about his criminality and decides to stay with him when he pledges to give up his life of crime to be with her. Frequently aired on BET's countdown show, 106 and Park, the video made the countdown for 65 days before it was retired on April 19, 2006.

The event was an unforgettable night of music, with each artist delivering their most popular hits to a captivated audience.

The Love Hard Tour featured K. Michelle as the first act. She kept everyone entertained as only K. Michelle could. She had the crowd laughing, talking about her side pieces and her former "British" man, whom everyone knew whom she was referring to. K. Michelle's voice was amazing, almost angelic. I have heard her sing on television and radio stations, but I was wowed listening to her beautiful voice in person. I loved every song she sang, especially my favorite, "Can't Raise A Man." She should be given her flowers now.

The crowd went wild when R&B singer Jaheim hit the stage as the second performer of the night. His intro included past photos, unconfirmed rumors, and speculations of what he's been doing since no new music has been produced. He shut all the naysayers down once he started to sing. He sounded like he did when he released his first album. Nothing about his voice has changed at all. Jaheim sang hits such as "Finding My Way Back" and "Put That Woman First".

Contemporary R&B crooner Trey Songz had women of all ages going crazy! He had the "bad boy" swag sex appeal going on. Songz displayed a charismatic stage presence and impressive vocal range, ensuring everyone remembered his name. He performed "Na Na," "Bottoms Up," "Love Faces," and more. His band made his performance top-notch.

The show's final act featured Multi-Platinum R&B Singer/Songwriter Keyshia Cole. The crowd was excited to see and hear her soulful and beautiful voice. Keyshia stepped out on stage singing "I Changed My Mind." She also sang a few of her hit songs, such as "Love," "Shoulda Let You Go," and "Heaven Sent," a few more, and then she said good night and walked off stage. Many fans were disappointed. She has a large catalog of hits, and we all were eager to hear more. Keyshia did announce that a new album will be out soon.
