Keyshia Cole] has unveiled a spring and early summer itinerary that has the R&B singer pairing up with Bobby V and Keri Hilson for a US tour.

The outing gets underway May 13 in Cincinnati, OH, stopping by arenas and theaters in 17 cities across the country through late June. The current schedule wraps up with a June 21 performance in Las Vegas.

Cole closed out 2008 with the December release of her third studio album, "A Different Me." The effort's first single, "Playa Cardz Right," featuring a posthumous appearance by Tupac Shakur, peaked at No. 11 on Billboard's Hot Adult R&B Airplay chart. Other guests who contributed to the album include Monica, Kanye West and Nas.

Cole's most recent single, "Trust (Duet with Monica)," hit the airwaves in late March.

The Oakland, CA-based singer received two Grammy nominations in 2007: Best Contemporary R&B Album for her sophomore effort "Just Like You" and "Best Rap-Sung Collaboration for "Let It Go" with Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim.

Cole's tour mates will also be supporting new albums. Bobby V released his third record, "The Rebirth," in February, while Keri Hilson dropped "In a Perfect World...," the singer's debut album, in late March.
