Keri Hilson Reflects on the 15-Year Hiatus That Led to Her Third Album ‘We Need to Talk’: ‘I Deserve to Have My Control’
Keri Hilson discusses the contractual and personal issues that led to her third album 'We Need to Talk' after a 15-year hiatus.
It’s been decades since Hilson punched into the music business, first as a songwriter with credits on hits like Britney Spears’ “Gimme More” and Pussycat Dolls’ “Wait a Minute,” before forging a successful solo career of her own. After debuting as a guest vocalist on songs like Timbaland’s “The Way I Are” and Xzibit’s “Hey Now (Mean Muggin),” she released her first album “In a Perfect World…” in 2009, producing two top 20 hits: “Turnin’ Me On” with Lil Wayne, and “Knock You Down” with Kanye West and Ne-Yo. For the album, she worked with musicians including Polow da Don, Danja, Ryan Leslie and DJ Camper, tracing a story that will be told in full in the coming months.
