Her single and video "Smack You," in which she teamed up with famed choreographer Tricia Miranda to produce, saw success and led to the song being featured throughout season 5 of the show.

In an AXS article, Kimberly was praised as "one of very few writers who can ride that line between pop and poetry because her trademark edgy word choice is ever tempered with astute observations and sharp wit." [42]

Critic David Kenniston at Vertigo Shtick calls her "A 'dance' artist who can sing, write, and dance like no one's business." [43]

Performances

Cole has performed with Lenny Kravitz, Jessica Simpson, Will Smith, and Mýa, [44] as well as being the support act for megastar artists such as Katy Perry, LMFAO, Lupe Fiasco, Cobra Starship, and Shiny Toy Guns. [2] [18] [45] [46]

She performed live at The Colony in Los Angeles as the headliner of the Colony Royale New Year's Eve 2011 party. [53]

Internet celebrity Nathan Barnatt auditioned for a role in her "U Make Me Wanna" music video. The resulting footage became a viral video. [54] [55] [56] Barnatt also appears in the final cut, as Cole and her team reworked their original concept of the video to include his performance. [45] [57] In 2012, she also teamed up with numerous comics (most notably, Gabriel Iglesias) to perform for the US Marines as part of the Leatherneck Comedy Entertainment Tour. [58]

Cole has toured and performed numerous occasions in East Asia, including almost two full months in China in late 2015, [11] as well as a tour in Korea and three months in Japan for the US Armed Forces in 2016.

Among the star-studded cast of appearances were Glee's Amber Riley, Adam Lambert, Victoria Justice, Shoshana Bean, Cassie Scerbio, Pia Toscano, Lance Bass, and Todrick himself. [70]

Throughout her career, Cole's sound has been characterized by sassy lyrics in genres ranging from dance-pop [29] to experiments with dubstep, electronic, and reggae influences (as seen on her EP The Prelude). [9] Nylon Magazine described her 2013 single "Found Better" as sounding like "Gwen Stefani at her most reggae paired with major EDM beats." [8]

After having been featured in a 2015 PAZ Remix of Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney's "FourFiveSeconds," Grant Austin of EDM Assassin states, "What really sets this remix out though is that the vocals are by Kimberly Cole and not Rihanna. He pulled out all the stops with adding her!" [71]
