The long awaited album has finally made it's way to a store near you. In A Perfect World was pushed back so many times, it had everyone convinced that it would never see it's way to record store shelves; but, yesterday (03.24) it made it's debut and it was well worth the wait.
Keri Hilson delivers in a major way with her very first studio album. Her background as a songwriter has definitely helped in crafting this album and making it a great way to splash in the arena of R&B. The 14 track album is what R&B has been missing, originality and spunk. This is an album that you will more than likely play from beginning to end all the while looking forward to the accompanying track. You can hear the strong Timbaland vibe on "Return The Favor" and Polow Da Don's presence on the very popular "Turnin Me On".
Keri's voice glides on a track like an ice skate on paved ice; hitting notes with little effort and without a crack in sight. Say what you want about her very daring "diss track" (that she continues to deny), the girl is gifted and just might have reason to talk sh*t.

In A Perfect World is an album that reminds listeners of 90's R&B where it was all about the voice and the words; definitely songs that the ladies can connect with and relate to and the gentleman will secretly enjoy. A good majority of the tracks are dripping in heavy base and you would think that Keri was an MC instead of a singer listening to her on each and every one of her songs. Keri delivers on providing a hit album and just might earn herself a couple of over-the-shoulder looks from the Grammy committee.
