Keyshia Cole recently talked to SOHH about prepping a new album, a final season of Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is,and her guest appearance in the movie How She Move.
“They called my management and asked them if we could come down to LA to the lot and see the movie to see if I was at all interested in doing it,” she told SOHH exclusively.
Cole was handpicked to appear in the coming of age dance movie, How She Move, which hits theatres nationwide today (Jan. 25). Keyshia was definitely interested and though her role was small - she plays herself in the film - she was excited to take part.
“At the end, I’m hosting the Step Monster competition that the main characters are all going to be in.”
Though she enjoyed appearing in How She Move the singer has no immediate plans to do more movies unless the right role comes along.
“Not anytime soon,” she says. “Recently they haven’t really been giving me roles that I’m willing to accept. It has to be true to my character, true to who I really am.”
Keyshia is interested in doing one last season of her hit BET show Keyshia Cole: The Way It Is, which documents her struggle to overcome her troubled past.
“I feel like the first [season] was what the situation was and the second [season] was our transformation,” she said. “The third [season] would have to be the verdict.”
In addition, Keyshia is preparing for her next album and eyeing a fourth quarter release.
“I’m writing down ideas now, just what I feel like the album should be about,” she says. “This is the first time I’ve actually done that so that should be fun. They want it out by Christmas.”

It has been an amazing journey for rhythm and blues singer 26-year-old Keyshia Cole. Each of her first two albums have been certified platinum, for sales of one million units in the United States, and recently she has gotten critical acclaim with two nominations in the 2008 Grammy Awards.
The biracial songstress did her first recordings with US rapper MC Hammer at the age of 12. But it was almost seven years ago that she upped the stakes making appearances on records for the likes of Tony! Toni! Toné!’s Dwayne Wiggins and San Francisco rapper Messy Marv.
Cole was inspired by her ex-boyfriend’s mother to pursue her musical aspirations, and moved to Los Angeles after severing her relationship with a cheating boyfriend. She attracted the attention of Interscope Records president Ron Fair, who in later recommended her to the Jimmy Iovine, Interscope chairman.
Cole was signed to the label in 2002. In 2003, she made her first solo appearance on the Biker Boyz soundtrack with the track Get Up. In 2004, Cole made another solo appearance on the track Never, taken from the Barbershop 2: Back in Business soundtrack with rapper Eve.
With hit singles including (I Just Want it) To Be Over, I Changed My Mind, I Should Have Cheated and Love, Cole’s debut solo album The Way it Is (released in 2005) sold more than a million copies. Cole has an ASCAP award win for Best R&B/Hip-Hop Song for Love, the Vibe’s Next Award (she tied with Young Jeezy) and a handful of other nominations includinga Vibe Award nomination for R&B Voice of the Year and Vibe Vixen. The NAACP Image Award nomination for Best New Artiste; BET Awards nomination for Best Female R&B Artiste and Viewer’s Choice; the Soul Train Award nomination for Best Female R&B/Soul Single and Best Female R&B/Soul Album for The Way It Is; an American Music Award nomination for Favourite Female Artiste; and a Soul Train Music Award nomination for Best Female R&B/Soul Single are some of her other accomplishments.
Just Like You arrived two years later in 2007 and sold over 281,000 copies in its first week of release to slam dunk its way to number two on the Billboard 200 album chart. To date, the set which features the hit singles Let it Go (featuring Lil Kim and Missy Elliott), I Remember and Shoulda Let You Go, has sold more than 1,002,614 copies in America alone.
To coincide with the release of Just Like You late last year, the second season Cole’s BET reality show Keyshia Cole: The Way it Is began airing. The show attracted record-breaking ratings for BET as the top returning series premiere in BET history. It also ranked at the number one original series premiere of the year in 2007. READ MORE…
