Keyshia Cole returns to the Studio

After being in the spotlight for three years, straight, Keyshia Cole needed some time off. Having been working for years to reach the top, she was there and it was hectic. Because she had become so popular, her label was pushing her to deliver more and more. Following her 2008 album, A Different Me, Cole decided to take a break.

Completing her first contract with Interscope Records, Cole began her break. Not only did she cut ties with her label, for the time being, but she also cancelled her reality show. Keyshia Cole had become a staple on BET with her show, "The Way it Is." Quickly, the program became the highest-rated show in the history of BET.

Feeling as if she had enough money, Keyshia Cole gave it all up and she began dating NBA player, Daniel Gibson. Their relationship quickly became more when she became pregnant with his first child and her own first child, too. In March, Keyshia Cole announced her son was born and she planned to return to work, soon. But, now she is in control of her career because she is not tied down to anyone. Wanting to release another album, Keyshia Cole has been recording a new album.

However, she has not found a set topic and she does not plan to in the near future. Instead, she will record music as she can and plans to put it all into an album when the notion hits her.
