the buzz log

Singer Keyshia Cole has returned with a vengeance. Queries on the soulful gal are up 78% over the past month and the trend line shows no signs of fatigue. The 25-year-old is set to drop her second album in mid-September and buzz is prompting us to wonder if she should move up the release date.
