“Tell Him The Truth”
Keri Hilson
We live in a culture where news of men cheating is nearly expected, but seldom do we hear the story the other way around. In her track “Tell Him The Truth”, singer-songwriter Keri Hilson isn’t afraid to go there. Even lamenting her own dilemma; telling the man she loves that she’s been unfaithful, somehow we feel bad for her. Relating to the torment in her vocals, Keri’s sincerely vulnerable lyrics even convince us, just for a second, that maybe she shouldn’t tell him the truth – or should she? A sad and humbling tragedy that makes for a remarkably affective song.

Watch the music video for R. Kelly’s latest single, “Number One”, featuring Keri Hilson. I know R. Kelly is a perv, but I can never deny his catchy masterpieces – just ask my girl elle @ LetsJustEatCheese, I was a fiend for “I’m a Flirt” a few years back. So accordingly, I’ve been feeling this new song (especially Keri’s part) since it leaked a few months ago.

Yahoo! Music is featuring Keri Hilson’s exclusive live performance of her first single, “Energy”, off her upcoming debut album, ‘In A Perfect World…‘ (in stores in November – hopefully)
She’s not the strongest vocalist, but there’s just something about this chick that I love – her swagger, her style, and her songwriting are all beautiful to me.
