Keyshia Cole - The Way It Is 20th Anniversary Tour

CRITIC’S PICK:
Tues., July 22
Keyshia Cole, Tink, Keri Hilson, & Elijah Blake, State Farm Arena — This summer, R&B legend Keyshia Cole is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her beloved classic debut studio album “The Way It Is” by embarking on an apt 20-date tour across the United States. Known for housing timeless records such as “Love,” “I Should Have Cheated,” and “I Changed My Mind,” “The Way It Is” has become an R&B standard, so an anniversary tour centered around that album is honestly enough of a selling point on its own. However, add opening performances from Tink, Keri Hilson (who just released her first album in 15 years), and Elijah Blake, and you’ve got plenty of reasons why you should cop a ticket (or two) to the biggest R&B extravaganza in Atlanta this summer. — joshua robinson
