Keri Hilson
If you think Keri Hilson looks and sounds familiar, you’d be right. She was the guest vocalist on two of the biggest hits of the noughties – Timbaland’s ‘The Way I Are’ and ‘Scream’.
She also penned smash-hit tracks for Britney Spears (‘Gimme More’), Pussycat Dolls (‘Wait A Minute’) and Usher (‘Love In This Club’ pt 2 feat. Beyonce & Lil Wayne). Plus she’s featured in the videos for Ne-Yo’s ‘Miss independent’ and Nas’ ‘Hero’.
The Atlanta-born singer/songwriter is now ready for the limelight to be focused on her, as she gets ready to release her US Top Five album ‘In A Perfect World’ out May 4th through Mosley Music Group/Zone 4 Inc/Interscope Records.
Her debut UK single ‘Return The Favor’ featuring Timbaland is currently available to download via iTunes and is out physically on April 27th. The track is a great slice of R&B pop featuring an electro bass line that gets the body moving.
Keri’s new album has been nurtured and produced by two of the most influential producers right now – Timbaland and Polow Da Don, who have given ‘In A Perfect World’ amazing sounds and heavy beats.
The album features guest appearances by Timbaland, Lil Wayne, Akon, Trina and Keyshia Cole, while Kanye West and Ne-Yo lend their vocals to her upcoming single ‘Knock You Down’. The video for the track has only been on YouTube for a month and has already clocked over four million hits.
Keri Hilson has already supported Timbaland and Justin Timberlake on tour and she is currently wowing audiences across America opening for Lil Wayne on his I Am Music Tour. Keri will be supporting Ne-Yo on his UK tour this summer - a show you won’t want to miss.
