Keyshia Cole's debut studio album, The Way It Is, cemented the R&B legend as a true lyrical savant, as she co-wrote every track alongside heavy hitters like Alicia Keys and John Legend to name a few. The record showcases her vocal dexterity as she takes us through a deeply compelling and emotional sonic journey. Featuring the hit singles, "Love" and "I Should Have Cheated." Now, reissued on vinyl for the first time since its original 2005 release. The Way It Is available on a standard black 2 LP.
