Keke Wyatt- Unbelievable!

By Antonia

It's been a year since Keke released her album "Who Knew" which i loved. My favourites are "Who Knew", "Weakest", "Without You", "Daydreaming" and "Peace On Earth". If you don't have the album make sure you get it, it's an R&B classic. After having a baby, getting married and now apart of Shanachie Records "Unbelievable!" arrived.

My favourites are "Light Me Up" a nice mid tempo track about a man being like the sun in the middle of the day. "Mirror" featuring Kelly Price & Tweet, *sigh* these R&B singers are so under rated. Hearing their voices had me getting their albums out and playing them back to back from Southern Hummingbird to Mirror To Mirror. The song talks about a woman questioning herself on her turbulent relationship with her man and letting herself down by not leaving. Keke is known for remaking songs ("My First Love" by Rene Moore & Angela Winbush and Patti LaBelle "If Only You Knew"). So it was no surprise she covered a few songs, first by Cherelle and Alexander O'Neal's "Saturday Love," ft Ruben Studdard Miki Howard's song "Love Under New Management", Keke went awff (off) on this record, her high notes are so unreal. Another remake of "Tears Of Heaven" by Eric Clapton. The last song on the album "His Eyes On A Sparrow" a classic gospel song, Keke sang her heart out this and showed her Gospel roots. Overall it does not live up to her last albums but nevertheless it's a nice touch to your album collections. Also be on the look out for a reality show featuring our girl Keke. When she was interviewed by youknowigotsoul.com she revealed "Faith Evans isn’t going to be on screen, she’s behind the scenes as part of the producing team. It’s going to be me, Nicci Gilbert from Brownstone, Syleena Johson, Tweet, I think Kelly Price, Angie Stone and Lelee from SWV. It’s basically going into our lives and showing that we’re not only singers of r&b, we’re also mothers and our lives and we lead lives like regular women do......I’ve teamed up with the national coalition against domestic violence to help women who are being abused and their children".
