Woman To Man would’ve been a better title because most of these songs are addressed to men; the men Keyshia Cole is or was romantically involved with. That’s assuming she’s portraying herself as a heterosexual woman. If she’s bi, only some of the songs are to men and the title still doesn’t make sense.

Careless concepts are only part of the problem here. The album’s biggest flaw is the abundance of lackluster vocal melodies. The woman has a strong singing voice, but her apparent lack of talent when it comes to composing melodies has her wasting it on “love” songs that are more insipid than inspirational.
