Keyshia Cole‘s seventh album, ’11:11 Reset’ (released October 20), saw her press the “reset” button on a number of fronts in relation to it.  Resetting business relationships, the Grammy-nominated songbird migrated from her longtime nest at Interscope to soar with Epic Records.

’11:11,’ her first outing on the new label, also sees her press the “reset” button sonically.  Opting to ditch the trap & heavy Hip Hop-influenced sounds that decorated her critically and commercially panned sixth album, ‘Point of No Return,’ the new album is baked with ballads, traditional R&B, and more slow tempo ingredients – much like that of her platinum-selling debut outing, ‘The Way It Is.’

Was the move “back to basics” exactly what the doctor ordered for the singer at the juncture of her career?  Find out predicted sales below and tell us:

October 20th invited fans to their first listen to a new Keyshia Cole album since 2014’s ‘Point of No Return.’

Fatefully titled, that project almost made fans believe Cole had indeed reached such point as it not only debuted to her worst first week sales to date (26,000 copies sold), it went on – with less than 100,000 units shifted as of time reported – to become her worst-selling effort ever.

The years that followed may have seen the Grammy-nominated songstress hitting headlines more for personal dramas than professional endeavors, but that all changed at the top of 2017 when she announced the release of ‘You’ (featuring Remy Ma and French Montana).  The song and its accompanying visual – a critically well-received return to form for Cole – did not see that fanfare reflected commercially.

Said response undoubtedly planted seeds of worry in her faithful fans…

The beef between ‘Love Beats Rhymes’ director RZA and the movie’s star, Azealia Banks, shows no signs of cooling.

As we reported here, the heat was reignited when the rapper took to The Breakfast Club (in promotion of the film) and admitted he did see Russell Crowe spit at Banks during a now infamous Hollywood soiree from last year.  Now, with the increased press, the rapstress has made it known she is NOT here for RZA speaking on her publicly.

Taking to Instagram, she stated:

“RZA has to stop talking about me in the media. Until he is ready to apologize to me publicly he can go back to sucking Russell Crowe’s d*ck for invites to Hollywood parties.

Nobody understands how badly I wanted to die the moment rza LIED and told the world I deserved to be spat. People laugh at me and said I lied. No one understands the amount of pain that came with and after that incident. Just fucking respect me and stop saying me name. @RZA I HOPE YOU DROP DEAD.”

And that’s not all…
