Keyshia Cole "Trust" Video Featuring Monica

The Grammy nominated R&B singer-songwriter Keyshia Cole has stepped up bringing out a music video in support of her third single entitled "Trust" from the Oakland, California R&B singer's third studio album, "A Different Me," which has been in stores and online a year ago on Geffen Records. Cole talks about the importance of trusting someone whom you love in the music video for single "Trust."
"Trust" was written by Cole and Frederick Taylor and co-produced by Toxic Donald Alford and Ron Fair for her second studio album "Just Like You" in 2007 as a bonus track for the iTunes edition of the album. In 2008, the ballad was re-recorded as a duet with fellow R&B singer Monica, replacing parts of Cole's original vocals with hers, and included on her third studio album "A Different Me," as the third single on April 1, with its music video world premiered on '106 & Park on BET' on May 4 in time for Mother's Day. "A Different Me" debuted at No.2 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart and topped the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart last November. The song also became Cole's highest-peaking single off of the album.
The newly-released video was directed by veteran music video director Chris Robinson, and was elegantly shot in Tuscany, Italy. Princess of soul music, Cole is no longer singing about heartbreak. Now, she's teaching the fellas how to "Trust." She is narrated in the video as a woman who tries to convince her man that she loves him and so he should trust her because she will not do anything that might hurt his feeling. In fact, both she and Monica look amazing in this clip. I'm really glad "Trust" was chosen as a single from album. Their powerhouse voices blend really well together in this duet and Cole gets more vulnerable.
"Trust" is one of those things that like its counterpart, love is something I'd like to call a gift & a curse. Once the trust factor goes out the door, its hard as hell to regain. Even then, things still aren't ever the same. Cole, like most women, have had their share of heartbreaks. However, on her latest release "A Different Me," she's embraced a side to her that many never knew existed. A vulnerable side. When both parties have been hurt & they meet that "one" who seems to good to be true, they often are very guarded "Trust" was one of the most heart-felt tracks on the album. Cole alongside Monica, two power house voices adds that "it" factor to the track. Despite her busy schedule, Cole announced that she was beginning work on her self-titled fourth studio album which is due by Valentine's Day 2010.
