It might seem that in a perfect world everything comes easy. The example of Keri Hilson and her debut album “In a Perfect World…” clearly shows this is not always true. The album was released in 2009, although initially it had been planned for 2007! For the years the Universal Music Group could not make the final decision and the date of release was constantly postponed. The same was the case with the choice of singles to promote the album. Keri has admitted that the song she wished to become the promotional single did not even make into the album. What’s more, the publisher chose songs that failed to win much popularity in the end. The fourth single, however, turned out to be a perfect choice and helped “In a Perfect World” gain success. Let’s just say that 94,000 copies were sold in the first week after its release! Of course it quickly received Gold status. From then on everything went smoothly. The album sold great and had to be re-edited. Its popularity was also evident from the numerous nominations for prestigious music awards, including best new artist and best R&B/soul vocalist awards.
