This is the official album cover for Keyshia’s Cole’s upcoming CD A Different Me. I have mixed feelings about this cover. On the one hand, I like the way the graphic artists made KeyCo’s tattoo the central focus of the album and the way it seems to float off her arm and wrap around her body.
But on the other hand, why does she look like she’s a contestant in the swimsuit competition of the Miss America Pageant? I would have loved to see Keyshia in something a little more classy.

wow .. I never knew her name was spelled key-shi-a .. Cocaine is a turrble drug ..
anywhooo … she looks great in that pic … stepped outside the box and it worked for her. … this time
oH .. AND GOOD MORNIN YALL !!
I do have to agree with you Sandra on this one, I think she could have done better. Still love her music.
I don’t hate it
I can’t wait no matter what’s on the album cover the album is going to be fire no doubt. real talent. might not be the best dancer or performer but she can move you with lyrics alone, that’s my girl!
She looks Aiight…she’s worked hard on her body image, so why the hell not!…cute!
She looks nic, but she could have done better… that tattoo is the tackiest!
I like it. She’s staying true to the “Old hollywood Glamour” look I seen her with lately. This cover really shows the softer side and make her seem more elegant and upscale. I really think it’s a good look for her. She will definately give Ms. Sasha a run for her money this time around. This ablum covers proves it. I am glad she decided to relase her ablum this year, and wasn’t afraid to go up against Bey (sorry Bey Fans). Maybe they will be neck and neck in catagories at the Grammys next year!
That tattoo is very distracting she need laser surgery fast
good morning, kym,readtheblog,toosexy,lb and everybody else
I’m not a fan of hers but I can say that the picture is cute.
Its a nice upgrade; beautiful. No disrespect but I just hope her attitude has upgraded as well, that’ll make a big difference!
i like the pic. not a fan of the tat tho…
i have a homie name k’eshah (yep a silent “h” at the end…) and her momma is perfectly sane and such a holy moley she prolly doesn’t even drink…just phonetically challenged.
: (
what up mizz dallas and the sr family.
tha’ts not her. leave that to beyonce and rhianna. keyshia and alecia keys dont have to do these type shots. stay true to your following…this ’sex sells’ stuff only goes so far. then i have to remember they’re marketing her to teenagers and young people–to buy the cd….
at what age does an artist decide not to flash ass and titties to sell a cd? i wanna hear her tracks though, this horrible cover aside. she put it down with “sent from heaven.” that sshyt is hot.
that tattoo is ugly she needs to get it removed. that cover is for the chicks, its for the fellas. see she doesn’t have to worry about women buying the cd, she wants guys buy the cd and the 16 to 44 yr old men will buy it more if she half neekid than in a ball gown.
I love that picture!
Her tattoos are a huge contradiction to what she is trying to project. But, I love the pic.
nice cover! i like the black hair
yeah, the tat is unprofessional. it looks like mary j. bliges. its okay but in the wrong place. not classy to me especially when you want to dress up.
i also agree….lose that tattoo….she and beyonce do two different types of music. keyshia has a way to go,cuz like someone said, she needs an attitude adjustment too. REALLY BAD. when i watch her show, she seems more pleasant than when she first started. i know so many contributing factors are the blame for that, but at the end of the day, it’s what SHE put out.
she gone drop her cd before or after beyonce. she better. i like them both, but beyonce sells would blow hers out the water. beyonce’s a global artist; keyshia’s still local. say what you want, but it’s true. B can go to London or Japan or fill up arenas. i haven’t seen or heard about keyshia being able to do the same. i’m not knocking her, but im just saying.
It’s ok…would be even better without that gawdy tattoo.
I like the cover. Yeah, she is in a bathing suit but it’s not tacky. It’s the same sh!t I see Katie Perry to every red carpet.
Am I the only one who doesn’t like her song with Pac?
I like the tat ( i have six but all in palces i can hide when necessary) I LOVE THE LOOK she is really growing before our very eyes….I would say check the ‘tude but people in glass houses can’t throw stones….HONESTLY Keyshia can do no wrong in my eyes she went through so much at a young age and has come so far I will support anything she does…I STAN FOR KC!!!
Hermosa, I don’t really like it either.
Keyshia my girl and all but Ive heard a couple other songs and it seems like the same ole, same ole heart broken stuff….. prove me wrong Key Key!!!!!!
Is it just me or does she look like Bianca Golden off TOp Model (not this cycle, the last one) in that pic???
I like the look, not for an album cover, more for an “inside” the album cover look. And her posture, is it just me, or does it look kinda off?
Morning Fam..
The cover is okay. But who buys CD’s anymore. Just buy the downloads on Itunes and the cover is not important
Keyco looks fine to me…aside from the tattoo, the outfit is classy. She wore a modest one-piece…coulda busted out with a two-peice thong set!!! I don’t get “sexy” when I look at this pic…
@shunda I still buy cds and itunes I buy cds of my favorite artists
i love me so KC, however i don’t care for this cover at all…her body is too stiff and the pose looks unnatural…she also look like a bit burlesque…i like how they played off of her tats, but the pic itself looks to busy…
oh well, it really doesn’t matter since my purchase won’t have anything to do w/ the cover…
Windycitychick, it sounds like the same stuff to me too. Don’t get me wrong, I love her but she needs to come out with something different. Like when she came out with Let it go feat. Missy and Kim. That was my sh!t.
@mizzdallas
bootlegs don’t count lol
Just joking. I just do not like clutter and that is what my cd collection was becoming and If I decide I do not like the entire cd I cn by my favorite songs for $.99
Yes ma’am Hermosa. I want to hear her get down on a nice party track similar like that. I almost killed myself with the last album.
But she’ll always be my girl, I was bumping “I changed My Mind” months before it was released
I have not been a keishia cole fan since “The Way It Is”. She needs to get back to her roots and stop trying to be accepted by the mainstream aka white america because she will never be. I will not purchase this album because I shouldn’t have wasted my hard earned $$$$ on her last album. Whatever, that crap was??????/
I likey!
@Hermosa: Hated it! I hope it doesnt play as much as her other songs or I will just die!
@WindyCity:
Girl pass me them shades!
This will be the first and only CD I’ll buy for 08… The cover is ok.Her face looks nice but I would rather see her with clothes on. I love Keyshia’s music, so Im kinda biased, she could put out a country cd and I still might buy.
Good Morning & Happy Weekend PEEPS !!!
@pure SAID it ALL for me
And YES I’ll Still SMASH …
BTW, @ 22 I hate that song as well. Also, that damn necklace she has on in the cover is so overshadowing the bathing suit. Maybe they should remove it via photoshop because the necklace and bathing suit are saying too opposite things.
Blasphemy^^^ Her last album was not a waste of $$$.. OMG are you serious? I could play the cd all the way thru without skipping a track.
@ Keely and WinyCity
I thought I was the only who didn’t like it. Everybody was talking about how good it was. I was very disappointed.
Tell me why I’m still jammin’ to. . .
I should’ve lied, I should’ve cheated. . .Baby I should’ve went out to the club. Or maybe I, I should’ve done it, should’ve givin away all my loooovvvveeee!!!
*bustin out my Keyco on my Ipod!
she suffers from noassatall disease @elove(her) see how she is strategically placed to hide that? i thought you was an azz man?
and lets be all thankful she did not go hardcore on the album cover like kim jones did on that poster back in the day. lawd.
LOL @ E
Yeah, babe, WE KNOW.
HAHA!!!
@ # 39 there are only about 4 songs I like on the entire album, “Just Like You”, “Sent From Heaven”, “Let It Go” and “Falling Outta Love”. That’s it!!!!!!!! Here first album I was able to play the entire thing from beginning to end w/out skipping a track. Just my opinion.
On her first album I could play just about every song. The second album I can play all 4 from missmiami’s list with the addition of “shoulda let you go”, “I remember” and “work it out”. Now that last one is my SONG!! Could be biased because I feel that’s the position I’m in right now but never-the-less I love the song.
Although I love KeyCo, I prolly won’t buy the album until I hear most of the songs & believe it’s worth my money!
Can anyone say….Rihanna?
I think Keyshia looks great. I like that look and the concept with the tattoo. On a side note, am I the only one who watched the season premiere of her show and was LMFAO ! Neffie and Frankie = PURE ENTERTAINMENT ! I wjill not miss an episode this season !
i think the cover is cute. keyshia has blossomed before our eyes!
model_chick78, i watched the show and you are right…PURE ENTERTAINMENT!
@model_chick 78
Sandra had a post where we were clowning and quoting Frankie. She is hillarious.
@ keely107… I wish I could…. thats Lauren London on my pic…. fierce!!!!! lol
@ Hermosa:
I was jammin the first one yesterday. Im like get it girl
I think she looks GREAT and I think she is getting better as a person. Remember when she first came out Keyshia was HOOD bad atttude and all. I watch her show and just from watching her show I see change in her she is a lot calmer than what she was.
U right Shanie, she has grown so much.
@windycity: Hate her! Too cute.
Love the album cover and I love the show-
funny when rihanna wears her dominatrix outfits-she gets praises like it’s the second coming of the messiah-and not once is their a mention of not being classy
kill em keisha, you look good girl and the hatas stay on their jobs….
can’t wait for the next episode of the show-I love it too!
She looks uncomfortable.Cover could been way better though IMO.
Her hairstyle ages her.
I love the whole thing. I love Keyshia! As for the tat, I have seven, one on one arm and two on the other. The others are on my back. I think that she looks classy regardless. Tats don’t make you look tacky. Well, as long as they aren’t into overkill. I think it’s an awesome contradiction: edgy meets classy. It shows she’s multi-faceted and embraces it without fear.
Those dayum teeth. she just doesnt know what to do with them
Hell, I’m 54 yrs old and Keyshia is one of my favorite artist. She’s got a beautiful, sexy, wonderful voice and considering all the drama in her family, she’s a smart, accepting young woman with a good heart and good intentions plus she ain’t producing a church full of children, alone.
I realize many on this board may have problems with my views but I’ll go to my grave speaking my peace, trying to make a difference in the world. (The pen is mightier than the sword.) Keep up the good work Keyshia, here’s one fan that will always be in your corner.
