The same thing is happening to Keyshia Cole that happened to Ciara. There first two album were very Urban so their fans and critics said if they want to be morte successful, they need to diversify their music, so KC releaesed A Different Me and CiCi released Fantasy Ride and what happened, they got mixed reviews from fans and critics who said they both were abandoning their Urban roots for a smoother/lighter mainstream sound. Personally, I think A Different Me and Fantasy Ride were Keyshia and Ciara's best albums. I just hope both of them can find a lane that suits them well and the same goes for Mya, Brandy and Ashanti.
