Keri Hilson’s sophomore effort, No Boys Allowed, splattered all over the net last night. The album, due in stores on December 21, is now up for listen. The No Boys Allowed era has received heavy promotion which should at least guarantee Hilson some decentopening week sales.
Well anyway, despite Hilson’s image change and annoying feminist album title of No Boys Allowed, the album really has some nice tunes on there. One of them is “Bahm Bahm (Do It Once Again I Want You).” Here, in The Bahamas, we embrace Keri Hilson as one of us; she’s made several trips to our nation, embraced our culture and stated numerous times how she likes the way we speak. In The Bahamian dialect there is a term “Bam Bam Bam” used… It seems that Hilson has borrowed that for her island flavored tune. The song has rhythm and flow and even switches from Reggae to R&B in the end. Take a listen.

Another highlight from N.B.A. is track number nine, “Beautiful Mistake.” This song is that midtempo/electroR&B that made Keri H. so appealing in the beginning. Her voice is as pretty as ever and the melody of the song complements that. Take a listen to the addictive cut below.
