Keyshia Cole "Lightens Up" On New Album

Accoding to SR, Keyshia Cole seems to be going through a 'breakthrough' of her own on her third studio album due later this year.

Sitting down with TV One over the weekend, Cole says "I'm not talkin'about being so...heartbroken."

Cole's major hits have all been about the ups and downs of love from "Love" to "I Should Have Cheated" to "Let It Go" and "I Remember," Cole has in many ways followed the path of one of her influences -- Mary J. Blige.

"If I could walk in her footsteps just a quarter of the mile that she has already walked, it would be a blessing fulfilled" says Cole.

Just like Mary did when she introduced us to "The Breakthrough" a few years back, Keyshia says its time for something different when it comes to her forthcoming album.

"It's time to lighten up and have a good time for this album" says the Grammy-nominated singer.

While she's staying 'mum' about her album in terms of producers, collaborations and so forth, Cole does admit she plans to "let it go" in five years to focus on becoming a wife, a mother and possibly a veterinarian.

Keyshia Cole's third studio album is slated for release later this year.

In related news, Keyshia Cole has issued another single from "Just Like You" entitled "Fallin Out". This marks Cole's 5th single from the Grammy-nominated and Platinum certified album "Just Like You."
