The tributes to Drake's "Hotline Bling" keep rolling in. Keyshia Cole is the latest singer to take a crack at the track, following in the footsteps of Alessia Cara, Kehlani, and Jadakiss. Drake's original is a wounded, jealous address to an ex, and Cole is very comfortable working in this format: ever since I left the crib you, started feeling sorry for yourself now/ it's crazy how you had me feeling left out/ everybody knows you had me stressed out.
"Hotline Bling" is at No. 9 on the Hot 100 at the moment, making it one of Drake's most successful crossover singles. Revisit "Don't Waste My Time," Cole's recent collaboration with Young Thug.
