Keyshia Cole, Trey Songz, Jaheim & K. Michelle

CRITIC’S PICK: One of R&B’s most beloved artists is having a resurgence right in front of our eyes. Shortly after delivering a standout performance on the deluxe version of Nicki Minaj’s chart-topping fifth studio album Pink Friday 2 in December, Keyshia Cole announced that she would be embarking on the 18-date “Love Hard” Tour in the new year. The tour will mark the veteran singer-songwriter’s first in 10 years, and while no official name or release date has been revealed, Keyshia Cole has also confirmed that her eighth studio album will be releasing in 2024 as well. Considering how much has passed since Cole’s last tour and solo record, none of her Atlanta-based fans should sit this one out if they can help it. Get tickets to see the revival of Keyshia Cole in person when she arrives alongside Trey Songz, Jaheim, and K. Michelle later this month. — Joshua Robinson
