Keri Hilson
Jan 17, 2011
U.S. pop singer Keri Hilson's sophomore album, "No Boys Allowed," was released December 21st via Interscope/Zone 4/Mosley Music Group and produced by Timbaland.
The provocative title does not mean what some people might think, Hilson said.
"It's not about excluding men. It's more about women understanding that there comes a time in your life when you want a man. A real man. A grown-up. Not a boy. And that's not a bad thing," she said in a statement Tuesday. "I write from a female perspective, but I'm also telling men what women are really thinking and feeling about them."
"Keri's intense focus on 'No Boys Allowed' has been inspiring to both Timbaland and I, in and out of the studio," Polow Da Don, co-executive producer of the album and Zone 4 president, said.
Posted up behind yellow tape, the femme fatale looks drop-dead gorgeous with a Marilyn Monroe-inspired hairdo, rocking a No Boys Allowed chain and holding her lipstick like a cigarette.
Hilson has already released the singles "Breaking Point" and "Pretty Girl Rock," most recently penning a song with John Legend called "All the Boys."
Fans will be treated to a mini-movie for the Rick Ross-assisted "The Way You Love Me," and can catch Keri in action as she performs on "VH1 Divas Salute the Troops".
