I think that is the reason why there are singers and people out there that express themselves artistically through their music it’s because it allows you to be a voice. Keyshia Cole: Oh no, I think that’s what music is all about. Do you ever question how vulnerable you are making yourself to the public. Singersroom: This album is very honest, you don’t shy away from any topics. Whatever is better for the kids and their future. Instead of giving your child away or doing something wrong to your baby, you can actually drop your child off at the hospital and you can’t be punished for that. I called Stephen Hill from BET and I called Kenny Babyface Edmonds and I said please what can we do about this? We have to let people know that if they don’t want their children there is somewhere they can go. The woman sold her to the guy and they were going into the hotel and I just cried. I kind of wrote that because at the time the baby Chantelle had gotten raped and sodomized.

And when children get hurt out there it made me kind of emotional even when I was writing a song called “Sometimes” on my album.

Like seriously, now I can understand how parents feel about their children. But also, my child has made a great impact on me as far as how much I care about other people’s children. Keyshia Cole: My perspective on love and life changes and I think my writing reflects that as I grow.

So looking back over your career, how has your songwriting changed? Singersroom: We know that you write a majority of your songs. Its two sides of the story with the album. So at the end album that’s kind of when we met and then a couple different songs and ideas and emotions came out with that. So yea I always said I wasn’t that optimistic about finding love and I had just given up on it for a second and I decided to just work and do my thing. I guess I recorded half the album before Gib and I both met.

I just go in and sing what’s on my heart at the moment. Keyshia Cole: I really don’t go in with inspiration. Singersroom: What is the inspiration behind this album if any? Singersroom was able to get an exclusive sit down with the R&B powerhouse about motherhood, finding love, and her evolution. The upcoming release of her fourth album ‘Calling All Hearts’, allows the world to view this hit maker in a light she is rarely seen in. With a thunderously powerful voice packed into a 5’2 frame, singer-songwriter Keyshia Cole never ceases to amaze fans.
