In a perfect world, maybe R&Bs’ new “it-girl” would have taken her Theatre major degree from Emory University and became your younger siblings’’ theatre teacher. But luckily for us, the world isn’t perfect, and Ms. Keris’ debut LP under the same name has hit the airwaves and set the hip hop set ablaze. The sexy and soulful songstress worked for many years behind the scene in a production group known as The Clutch. The trio worked on behalf of everyone from Ludacris to Britney Spears and in 2006 Hilson was spotted and scooped by Timbaland and then signed to his Mosley Music label. Today, Hilsons’ songs cover the familiar and the fun. Tracks like “Slow Dance” find the singer crooning seductively with come hither lyrics and missy-esque production, while songs like “Tell Him the Truth” find the lady lamenting for forgiveness in a very real way. Though she may be no Beyonce, or Ciara even, now that this songbird has landed, The R&B scenery has definitely just gotten a little better, and may even sound a little sweeter too.
