'New Nu' - While this cut continues the LP's theme of working through love's heartaches, it does so as a club banger: booming bass and stinging snares. (Photo: Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images)

'She' - This cut had the Web abuzz with rumors that this it was about lesbian love (possibly Keyshia tryin' something new), especially with lyrics sayin' a chick is like poison on the tip of Cole's tongue. Although the singer interprets the cut as an affirmation of "self-love," there's no doubt about this song: it's hot and sexy.   (Photo: Visual/WENN.com)

'Remember (Part 2)' - Like any LP consumed with heartache from a troubled love, Keyshia closes out this album on a plea: for her drama-causing beau to simply remember the better times — those moments that brought them together in the first place. A swan song, indeed.  (Photo: Valerie Macon/Getty Images)
