Joining Keri’s sophomore set will be the usual suspects of Timbaland, Danja and Polow Da Don, along with some new faces including Jeff Bhasker and rapper Drake.
In case you’re unfamiliar with Bhasker’s previous work, he’s produced for Kanye West (808’s & Heartbreak album), Kid Cudi (Man on the Moon album) and Alicia Keys (Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart).
"The singer/songwriter capped 2009 with two Grammy nominations: best new artist and best rap/sung collaboration for "Knock You Down," featuring Kanye West and Ne-Yo. Now Hilson is getting busy in the studio recording the still-untitled follow-up to her gold-certified solo debut, "In a Perfect World." Aiming for the Memorial Day holiday as a target release date, Interscope urban music head DJ Mormile promises that the three guiding lights behind Hilson's first album-Timbaland, Polow Da Don and Danjahandz-are back onboard. "They're the cornerstones," says Mormile, who also notes that West, Will.i.am and emerging songwriter/producer Jeff Bhasker will also be involved. And signs are pointing to fellow newcomer Drake being a featured guest as well. "We're just getting into this," says Mormile, who hopes to have a first single out in March, if not sooner. "But we already have an idea of what we want to do. This album will continue the evolution of Keri, building off the hits 'Knock You Down' and 'Turning Me On,' which helped define her. This new album will be 'Turning You On' times 10."
I can't beliebve she's working with Jeff Bhasker 808s & Heartbreak, Man On The Moon aand Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart are AMAZING songs/albums. Keri's music is gonna be so much better this time.
if she gives me a 'Return The Favor' album i will be sooo impressed. i'm still tryna figure out why the single failed in the states
I don't get it too. Maybe cause US doesn't always (or mostly) recognize quality songs.
'Turnin Me On', 'Get Your Money Up', 'Return The Favor' and 'How Does It Feel' were the best tracks on her debut.
