No Boys Allowed

Posted by admin

The second album release by Keri Hilson can only be described with one world: mocking. This is apparent in its very title. Keri herself has admitted she does not try to exclude men and that the title is sort of tongue-in-cheek, but still it has a message. She favors mature men, who have grown out of being the eternal boy and who are no longer tied to the aprons of their mums. This is the kind of men she sings about, as well as the kind of men she encourages other women to live with. On the other hand, she tries to make men aware of has women really perceive them and what are their feelings. Keri’s confessions are all the more valuable given the fact that she has gone through a number of more or less successful relationships, which certainly makes her credible on the issue. But let’s go back to the album. It features twelve tracks, including one remix (“Pretty Girl Rock”). The majority of them were produced by Polow da Don and Timbaland. There are also guest vocals by Kanye West, Chris Brown, Rick Ross and J-Cole, which gives the album a flavor of R&B, soul, electro and dancehall.
