Keyshia Cole regrets releasing "I Ain't Thru" as lead single
Quote:
Keyshia Cole's new album, "Calling All Hearts," is out this week. It's the follow-up to her first three albums, all platinum-sellers that had multiple R&B hits.
But this time around, Cole's lead single has not created a buzz for the singer like it has done in the past. "I Ain't Thru," which features Nicki Minaj, has only peaked at No. 58 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop songs chart.
Cole says she made the decision to release the song — though her record label disagreed.
"The label didn't really want to drop the record because they knew ... that people wanted a more intense, soulful record from me about love and I really should have followed (their) direction," she said. "But I wanted that to be a statement record. It's like saying, 'I'm doing me, you know. I don't have no regrets for nothing that I'm doing.'"
"There's no way to predict how people will respond to things," said Ron Fair, chairman of Geffen Records. "It's something that Keyshia really wanted to say."

I've felt this way since the single leaked. 'I Aint Thru' got the era off to a bad start. Hopefully things can pick up with 'Long Way Down' and future singles.

She needs to go back to her "angry black woman" phase.
