The R&B star returns after a 15-year break
After a 15-year hiatus, legendary Keri Hilson’s highly anticipated return this year has been one worth the wait! Since the first installment of her three-part album, We Need To Talk, entitled Love, which was released this spring, she has been welcomed back with open arms by fans old and new. Now, in the heat of summer, she drops her first visual from the project for the track, “Searchin” featuring Wu-Tang Clan royalty, Method Man. This video, shot in the heart of Manhattan, exudes the New York City energy needed to pair with the infectious rhythm and upbeat tempo. A true match made in musical heaven, Keri and Method provide a nostalgic perspective with a fresh modern twist! “Searchin” is the perfect segway as Keri prepares for the next chapter of her story.
Hilson is best known for her solo mega-hits like “Pretty Girl Rock,” “Knock You Down,” and many more. Although Hilson worked as a chart-topping songwriter for many years before her “big break” as a recording artist came in 2005, when she signed with super producers Timbaland and PolowDaDon to Interscope Records. Shortly after, Timbaland’s collaborative single, “The Way I Are,” became her first chart-topping hit as a performer. She continued using her talents to write and collaborate with a plethora of major artists.
In 2009, Hilson’s debut album, In a Perfect World…, was released, following her breakthrough solo single, “Energy”, and other successful singles like the double platinum hit, “ Knock You Down.” The album peaked at No. 4 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 200 Chart and was certified gold by the RIAA. Her immense success continued with her sophomore project, No Boys Allowed,” which was released in 2010 and included the certified platinum single, “Pretty Girl Rock.”
Emerging onto the silver screen with small roles in Riddick and Think Like a Man, Hilson now carries the same momentum of success as her music career. She’s starred as a lead actress in several films to date, with roles in films Almost Christmas for Universal Pictures, Lust for Lifetime TV, the Hip Hop Family Christmas franchise for MTV/VH1, and her most recent BET thriller, Ruined.
