Keri Hilson, In a Perfect World, Universal

Is it wrong when the two lead singles from an album draw your attention based on the guest artists? With both “Turnin’ MeOn” and “Knock You Down”, it’s not Keri’s work that is garnering attention, instead Lil’ Wayne and Kanye’s guest spots (respectively) are overshadowing her debut effort. While Hilson has toiled behind the scenes as a songwriter (Brittney Spears, Ciara, Usher), she has also appeared alongside Diddy on Press Play and Timbaland on Shock Value. In a Perfect World Keri Hilson’s solo debut would be more than a generic pop r&b offering.
