NEW TRACK - KERI HILSON: ENERGY

Many of you might have already noticed Keri Hilson in videos such as Timbaland's "The Way I Are" and "Scream" and Usher's "Love In this Club", but what you might not have known is that the sultry singer and video vixen is the talent behing many of your favourite tracks.

The Atlanta native has been in the music game since 2001 and has penned a number of chart-topping R&B and hip hop hits such as Chris Brown's "Young Love", Usher's "Love in this CLub Part 2", Britney Spears' "Gimme More", Omarion's "Ice Box" and Mary J Blige's "Take Me As I Am", amongst others.

But now, it seems like the volumptious songstress is no longer statisfied with just being behind the scenes. She has inked a record deal with Polow da Don's Zone 4 and Timbaland's Mosley Music Group to release her debut album later this year. If any of her guest appearances are anything to go by, one can expect an energy-filled, progressive R&B album that hits the right notes.

To jump things off, we present to you her first single, Energy:


Trust me, this lady is the future of R&B. Ya heard it first here on Encore!
