Nicki Minaj has a point to prove.

Yes, after her new boyfriend Meek Mill was ridiculed by the masses for losing in the war of words with his rival Drake, the ‘Anaconda’ belle used the latest showing of her ‘Pinkprint Tour’ to prove that it’s done little to break their bond.

How she did it?

Recent years have seen the British soul singer Joss Stone withdraw from the public eye after she learned two British men had plotted to murder her in 2011.

Her decision to keep a low profile since then may be the reason many are unaware that she has released a brand new Reggae album named ‘Water For Your Soul.’

Yes, the ‘Super Duper Love’ provider dropped the project via her own record label ‘Stone’d’ with the support of Bob Marley‘s son Damian Marley who produced a number of its numbers.

Keyshia Cole’s debut single is this week’s From The Vault selection. ‘I Changed My Mind’ serves as today’s pick.

Produced by then-man of the hour Kanye West and written by Cole alongside John Legend, ‘Mind’ sees the songbird take back her love from an unfaithful companion. As it was customary at that stage of his career, West relied heavily on the use of samples, in this case a Dr Dre selection which itself uses a portion of Solomon Burke’s ‘Get Out Of My Life’.

The launching single off the singer’s ‘The Way It Is’ album, ‘Mind’ sadly didn’t set the charts alight in similar fashion to other material such ‘Last Night’ or ‘Let It Go’ and had to settle for a peak position of #71 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Benny Boom took charge of bringing the song to visual life and delivered a video that saw the chanteuse parade around her block as well as confronting her cheating boyfriend after finding out about his infidelity. Mr West can be seen in the clip alongside Cole.

******************

Artists such as Keyshia are very rare in this day and age; she’s an artist who doesn’t compromise her sound and brings much needed grit to the R&B genre.

And while her recent releases haven’t rouses the masses, we hope the songbird hasn’t gotten to that point of no return where the masses start singing back to her “I changed my mind, I don’t love you no more “.

While only time will tell whether Ms. Cole can make a successful comeback, we’ll keep rooting for her – as she’s an undeniable talent.
