Additionally,the video for her debut single “Breaking Point” (produced by Timbaland) has hit#1 on BET 106 & Park while becoming the #1 added record to Urban Radioafter recently performing the song on BET’s Black Girls Rock. Recently seen atThe American Music Awards, the songwriter also graces the current covers ofboth Vibe Magazine and Jones Magazine.

The album encompasses the past two years in Keri’s life asshe’s gone from a hit songwriter responsible for hits by Britney Spears, PussyCat Dolls, Mary J. Blige, and Usher to a Grammy nominated singer with #1 songsunder her own belt. Representing a myriad of sounds, the Timbaland–produced“Breaking Point” is a bluesy call to arms; the kind of song a woman listens toas she musters up the courage and conviction to leave a no-good relationship.Whilst on the other side of the spectrum, the raw and infectious “The Way YouLove Me” feat. Rick Ross, produced by Polow Da Don is a club-thumping messageto female empowerment. But that’s not to say Hilson’s music doesn’t speak tothe fellas, “I write from a female perspective, but I’m also telling men whatwomen are really thinking and feeling about them.”

“Keri’s intense focus on No Boys Allowed has been inspiringto both Timbaland and I, in and out of the studio. This will definitely be oneof the best albums of 2010/2011,” says Polow Da Don, Co-Executive Producer ofthe album and Zone 4 President.

No Boys Allowed is a deeply personal project designed tobring women to their feet. The provocative title, is not what you may think,says Hilson. “It’s not about excluding men. It’s more about women understandingthat there comes a time in your life when you want a man. A real man. A grownup. Not a boy. And that’s not a bad thing.”
