Keri Hilson's New Album

Keri Hilson On New Album:

In A Perfect World - Keri Hilson was pictured at the Radio WGCI Coca Cola Lounge in Chicago last night.Hilson talked to The Associated Press today about her new album �In a Perfect World �� and writing songs for Mary J. Blige, Britney Spears,and Omarion.

Being that you�ve written songs for others, how was it different writing for your own album?

I guess for myself I can be a little less inhibited. I don�t have to wonder and guess or assume how I feel about a certain situation � I know what it is that I want to say, so it doesn�t have to pass inspection

How did the delays for the album�s release affect the music?

In the interim while you�re trying to choose tracks, things do get kind of shuffled around. It�s a good thing because it allows you to listen to records a little longer and live with them, and you�re not making rush decisions trying to hurry up and close the album.

Was there any fear you could get stuck being a songwriter only?

Although I was content, I was a little unfulfilled that I wasn�t performing as well. So I didn�t pursue the artist thing after groups I was in disbanded, I just didn�t. I kind of always knew it would come back around, the chance and the opportunity would reach me and that I would be ready.
