Keri Hilson long awaited debut album is finally being released on March 24th. Well known in the industry for writing songs for the likes of Britney spears, Ciara to Ludacris. The album was mainly produced by Timbaland, You'll even recognise the triple beat, Danja, Polow da don and feature artists like Akon, Lil Wayne, Kanye west, Keyshia Cole and Ne-Yo.

After waiting nearly what 1 year and some change the album is finally seeing the day of light. Sadly 50% of the songs were leaked and it seemed like i knew the album before it was even released. The album is incredible. Pretty much every song i love besides the garbage with Lil Wayne. One thing i have to admit that i believe is the reason Keri Hilson won't get anywhere further then being behind the pen, everything sounds the same. She has a beautiful voice but everything is so the same.

She opened with a nice intro in which she sings to then introduce, Turn me on. Very clever now a days intro has no kind of meaning. The entire album was good besides that lil wayne track and Keyshia Cole. Sadly Keri is missing the extra juice for everyone to want her, and at a certain point i do see where they coming from comparing her to Ciara. Some song i loved didn't seem to have been added in the album like Promise in the dark.

My Top 3 favorite tracks on the album.

1. Energy : it's no secret this one is just addicted. The beat (which closely reminds me of Young Seb's high school wifey)

2. Tell him the truth. I can't even describe it just listen.


3. Where did he go. This one she is just pouring her heart. Where did he go!?!?
