Most effective is the way Cole simply sings the hell out of stand-out heartbreaker Trust and Believe: her blood and guts are a refreshing antidote to the passive, enervated melancholy of 2012's wave of gentrified indie-R&B, and a reminder of how raw and passionate the genre should be. It's less a stylistic shift as a new-found panache: the detailed songcraft of Get It Right the premise of the title track (Cole and Ashanti discover they're dating the same man, and respond with sympathy and female solidarity) the flirtatious lightness of touch of The-Dream production Hey Sexy, which signals a certain lightening of mood in the album's closing stages. But if, in the past, Cole has sometimes come across as a boilerplate version of Mary J Blige – all cried out with nothing to say – she brings this set to life. This album will features Kelly, Busta Rhymes and Keyshia Cole.

Her forte remains the scorned-woman ballad, and over the course of Woman to Woman she ranges through suspicion, frustration and anger, her voice as heavy with emotion as ever. Braveheart is the fifth studio album by American R&B singer Ashanti. O n her fifth album, Keyshia Cole has put her formidable talents to their best use yet. that permeates Keyshia Coles fifth studio effort is no coincidence: Woman to Woman is the songwriters first LP without.
