Grammy-nominated R&B sensation Keri Hilson is poised for a remarkable return to the music scene with her highly anticipated album, “We Need to Talk”, set to drop on Friday, April 18.
Fans have been buzzing with excitement as Hilson shares tantalising snippets of her latest work, promising a fresh and vibrant artistic direction that sets her apart from her previous endeavours.
This upcoming album marks Hilson's first full project since her 2010 offering, “No Boys Allowed”, which produced chart-topping hits like “Pretty Girl Rock” and “One Night Stand”, featuring Chris Brown.
Other memorable collaborations include tracks with music heavyweights such as Kanye West, J. Cole, and Nelly.
This new album marks a significant milestone for Hilson, who has faced challenges throughout her career, notably following the fallout from a leaked remix of her song "Turnin' Me On”, which was perceived as a diss track aimed at fellow artist Beyoncé.
During a recent candid interview on “The Breakfast Club”, she expressed her regrets surrounding the remix, stating, “That’s a song that I didn’t actually write. Those are not my words ... I was in tears; I was crying. I was adamant that I did not want to do that.”
Hilson revealed that external pressures forced her to record the track, a decision she later wished she could overturn.
As fans gear up for the release, social media has been flooded with enthusiastic messages about her comeback.
Comments vary from excitement about the anticipated length of the album, with one fan jokingly demanding, “This album better be 30 tracks”, to heartfelt sentiments about the empowerment her music brings.
“Your music always reinvigorates me! I’m gonna love this masterpiece so much,” wrote another user in a show of support.
In addition to Hilson's return, the music scene is currently brimming with new releases that fans should keep an eye on.
Among the highlights is “Hurry Up Tomorrow" by The Weeknd, an introspective album featuring 22 tracks that delve into themes of love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.
Meanwhile, Jennie Kim’s “Ruby” features contributions from industry greats like Dua Lipa and Kali Uchis, showcasing her unique balance of fierce confidence and vulnerability.
But for now, all eyes are on Hilson as she prepares to reclaim her place in the R&B genre.
Her loyal fans and music lovers alike are ready to embrace the new chapter of her musical journey.
