After several push backs and controversial set backs, songstress KeKe Wyatt has returned! It's been 8 years since the release of KeKe's first album "Soul Sista" and fans have been anxiously waiting for a follow up and after getting our hopes many times, only to be let down, it seems as though 2010 may give us what we've all been waiting for!
KeKe announced this week that her sophmore album, titled Who Knew?,will be released on February 23rd through her new label Shanachie Records (home of soul artist Leela James).
"We are extremely excited to be bringing out KeKe's new music" says label head of A&R, Randall Grass, "She is one of the outstanding singers of her generation and is recognized as a true singer". And that she is!
Stepping into the spotlight at the age of 15 with Avant on the song "My First Love" and later on her own hit single "Nothing In This World", Wyatt was on the verge of really making her mark on the music world. However, controversy struck when KeKe and her husband and the time were involved in a domestic dispute and she was arrested for allegedly stabbing her husband. KeKe recently spoke on her marriage and divorce. "Those 10 years are over. They're over." she says to Euerweb's Lee Baily. "You go through so much as a woman and you can't take too much of the hands on type of thing. I refuse to do it anymore and so I'm done.."
After failed attempts with two different labels (Cash Money 2004-2006, TVT 2006-2008), KeKe is sure that this year will be the year for her and fans are overly excited.
"Thanks for the overwhelming reaction to the announcement of my new project! Can't wait to share more!" KeKe posted this on her Myspace today. She is currently promoting her holiday single, a remake of Rachelle Ferrell's "Peace On Earth". Check the song out as well as some of KeKe's best work below! And be sure to look out for KeKe's new single and video "Who Knew?"
