Woman to Woman is the fifth studio album by American recording artist Keyshia Cole. It was released on November 19, 2012, by Geffen Records. The album was recorded between 2011 and 2012 and features guest vocals from Lil Wayne, Meek Mill, Ashanti, Elijah Blake and Robin Thicke.
Woman to Woman received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented Cole's vocal performances, with some critics calling it "angrily defiant" and "consistently good" and praised it as an "R&B almanac of shaky romance." Other critics found the album to be similar to that of Mary J. Blige. The album debuted at number ten on the US Billboard 200 chart, with first week sales of 96,000 copies.
Cole started work on her fifth album in early 2011, after releasing her unsuccessful fourth album Calling All Hearts in December 2010.Woman to Woman is Cole's first album without mentor and A&R executive Ron Fair, following his departure from Geffen Records. Cole described the album as a "return to her roots" and a dedication to "her ladies". On a visit to BET's 106 and Park she told her fans, “I took myself out of the equation this time around and I focused on my fans, just make sure that they’re gonna be happy.”. Despite touching on subjects similar to previous records, Cole was adamant that Woman to Woman would be different. On her official Twitter page she wrote, "I'm in love with these songs I've recorded. REAL TALK".Woman to Woman is named for the title track, a duet that Cole recorded with Ashanti. Cole appeared on BET's 106 & Park on August 1, 2012, to reveal that Woman to Woman would be arriving in Fall 2012 alongside Cole's new reality TV show Keyshia & Daniel: Family First.
