American singer-songwriter and actress Keri Hilson has expressed her readiness to release new music after a long hiatus. She made this statement during her appearance on Tank and J. Valentine’s R&B Money podcast, which was published on Saturday, October 14.
Keri Hilson’s last full-length album, “No Boys Allowed,” was released in 2010, and fans have been eagerly anticipating new music from her ever since. While she had initially announced her plans to release new music earlier this year, the actual release has been delayed. However, her recent remarks on the podcast suggest that she is now prepared to share her new work with the world. Fans of Keri Hilson can look forward to hearing fresh material from the talented artist.
“It took a second; a lot of things happened that prevented it,” she said. “I blame it on one thing, but really it was years of a struggle. I fought through that, but I’m free, and I’m ready.”
She continued: “We’re starting to take meetings to figure out how we want to do this thing [and] where we want to do this thing.”
On the Behind the Mask podcast back in February, Keri Hilson hinted that her eagerly anticipated third studio album might be released in 2023.
“I can say that [the new album] answers questions,” Hilson said. “I can say that I’m proud of it. And I can say that there were a couple of false starts. They were not all me! There was some like, I don’t know, fake PR or like fans would craft fake press releases and tweets.
“But there have been false starts and right before my dad died, that was definitely one that I was responsible for because that’s what I was planning to do and then that happened,” she continued. “But I feel like I’m closer now.”
The “Pretty Girl Rock” singer expressed her strong belief that “this is the year” the project will be released, but she did not provide a specific release date.
