Rap-Up.com || New Music: Keri Hilson

If Ciara is “Like a Boy,” then Keri Hilson is “Still a Girl.” The blonde-haired singer gets sultry on this sensitive mid-tempo ballad, which may or may not be included on her sophomore album No Boys Allowed.

Set to empowering guitars and aerosol snares, Miss Keri Baby sings about wanting to push her man away, but finds herself falling victim to the trappings of her emotional nature.

“Try to tell my heart we don’t need him, but it only works for so long,” she sings. Dry those eyes, Keri!

I guess this is like Like A Boy Part 2
I guess Keri co-wrote this with her old group the clutch(same crew that co-wrote like a boy).
It’s okay it will probably grow on me. I like Keri stop with the hate and envy you all. If Ciara and Keri don’t get along that’s their business. You don’t know either of them or why they may or may not like each other.

I like this alot, something different for her. This is what every artist should do with each cd, grow.
To the posters who keep talking about ciara please get over it, we see that you live in a make believe world when you grouped ciara with beyonce and Rihanna(she’s no where near them–fact).

September 9th, 2010 at 1:14 pm
Keri was a mem of the cluth for 2 sec but she has nothing to do with like a boy and doesn’t get royalty checks for that song
@p lard yes Ciara and beyonce have yet to have the acolades of beyonce and bey been in the game more than double the others. And rihana sired in the pop scene w her last album but her last album proves her 5 min is up. Rihana and Ciara is like milli vanilli and jay z. MV got more top singles but they had they 5 minutes. LIke a jay who only has a couple #1s and hasn’t done a full world tour at the end of the day he’s an artist of substance. Like jay, Ciara will be around longer.

this sounds like NOTHING ciara has ever done. ever. even if it did, guess who wrote some of ciara’s hits? that’s right, keri, so whatever, girl. i don’t think this is the best thing ever (it’s giving me stargate circa 2007 vibes right off), but i like that she’s not being lazy and she’s trying to make a different album than IAPW. and re: style: once rihanna stops jockin’ everybody and their grandpappy (grace jones, fefe dobson, kelis), maybe we can talk about people stealin’ styles.

WOW
September 9th, 2010 at 1:22 pm
omg! the ridiculous haters always bring their hate on to keri’s posts. no one cares of ur opinions if its not constructive criticism. you guys bring your negative attitudes to every post of keri’s JUST because you dont like her (which you have no reason to.) you dont even know her… but this is a nice song.

the only song skeri ever wrote for ciara was an album filler on her first cd called “ooh baby”
what hits did she write for ciara…………..exactly, NONE so get outta here with that bull sish
the only song that flop ever wrote for beyonce is the love in da club remix verse

September 9th, 2010 at 2:19 pm
I like the song— but u keri fans need to be educated, keri only wrote one song for ciara, thats ooh baby from ciara’s debut album, it was a album filler, either than that keri has never ever wrote anything else for ciara, so get your facts straight before crowning keris writing capacity with ciaras hits, and yes like a boy was a hit…. im hoping to hear more from keri, i like some of her stuff…. if we ciara fans are a mess then lead the way to clearing that up. start with getting the facts straight

Im not feeling keri as much as i did when she first came out even though it took her awhile to really get any real play. I like the lyrics but they’re not really blending with the beat, and i didnt know keri wrote “Ooh Baby” thats one of my favorite songs, and if it would have been released it would have been a R&B hit

@ha what are you trying to say exactly?
Ciara WILL be around alot longer that Rihanna, because she has no real talent. The problem with Ciara is that her window of opportunity is closing, she needs a hit right now. If she doesnt she’ll be an afterthought.

September 9th, 2010 at 4:43 pm
Okay, this Ciara fans really need to hope off her dick cause in all serious I have no strong hate for Ciara, but can we please be real. What is Ciara worth right now, yes she can dance, but that doesn’t make a career, and she barely has one at this point. Shes quickly becoming a loser. Honestly I would say that that Keri and Ciara are about as equally popular, only difference is that Ciara has been in the game for years and Keri has only been a solo artist for about 3 years. As far as I’m concerned, if Ciara stopped singing today I wouldn’t even notice. I don’t think she would be missed, and we all know she’s had plenty of time to make us feel like we need her.

If this is any indication to what the upcoming album may sound like im nervous. “In A Perfect World…” was pretty strong for a debut album and this song will hardly excite people for the follow up. For all the people hating on Keri and comparing her to Ciara…Ciara’s new album is only going to hold 7 tracks and has been pushed back countless times (we’re looking at october 19th or 26th and could possibly be in December) compare her to someone else.
