Keri Hilson Talks About Timbaland (October 10) (2019)
The Bakewell Media’s Taste Of Soul Festival continues to bring unique, authentic foods and entertainment to Crenshaw Blvd. This year, the event will welcome R&B singer-songwriter, Keri Hilson to the Hyundai Sound Stage on Saturday, Oct. 19. It’s been four years since Hyundai became a sponsor for the festival and in that time, it has invited countless artists including Chante Moore, Teddy Riley, Ginuwine, Brandy and more to perform for eager fans for free.
Keri’s self-proclaimed “debut to the world” was her collaboration with rapper Timbaland, “The Way I Are,” a song that left her imprint in the musical world. “There’s a certain pride that I feel, having that kind of introduction from someone who’s work I had admired [for] my entire life,” Hilson said. “I just felt really honored to be next in line for a Timbaland introduction.”

Keri Hilson Talks Meeting With Timbaland
Keri Hilson has been Interviewed by Capital FM where she talked about how she got her big break when she met Timbaland, check it out below.
Keri Hilson Announces New Album ‘L.I.A.R.’ With Timbaland & Co.
Miss Keri is back. Over five years since her last album, Keri Hilson has announced her return with L.I.A.R. Her third album, an acronym for Love Is A Religion, follows her 2009 debut In A Perfect World… and 2010’s No Boys Allowed, which featured appearances from Chris Brown, Kanye West, and J. Cole. The album will address her musical hiatus.
“I promise, I will tell my fans everything on this album. Why I was really gone, what actually happened, what didn’t, what I could control, and what I couldn’t,” said Hilson. “Never will I ever again take a break from music.” The first single “Again” will be available on Friday, March 18. Produced by Mike WiLL-Made It and co-written by R. City, the “raw mid-tempo R&B anthem” is described as “Keri’s most honest song to-date.”
“I said I’d never do it again, but I turned around and I did it again / I know I said that this was the end, but I turned around and I did it again,” sings the newly-single Keri. L.I.A.R., which will be released via Zone 4/Interscope/Mosley Music Group later this year, also features contributions from Chris Brown, Polow Da Don, Timbaland, Danja, and more. Thanks to David Primer.

Check out this Trap Remix to Timbaland's 'The Way I Are' by TroyBoi, pretty dope.
Timbaland talks "Sorry" and The Blueprint III Leaks
You guys don't need an introduction for this, the title already says enough, here:
Alright so Tim and Jay had their little fall out about "The Blueprint III" leaks, which really affected Tim badly, I even remember a USTREAM Freestyle did in a response to that, however they made up as good friends should, so all good right? Well Tim now reveals over what Jay previously said was an industry problem was actually more of a personal problem. So much so it's extended to a track that Tim has recorded for "Rebirth" (the first track we now know of) entitled "Sorry" with Keri Hilson. In said song Tim gives an apology to Jay for the leaking and on a similar note, Keri apologizes to Beyoncé for their problems in the past (sorry I didn't actually pay much attention to that, feel free to educate me on that).
Well we can see how Tim feels at last about this which is probably why he's entitling his upcoming album "Rebirth". Thoughts?
Robin Thicke - "Take It Easy On Me"
Well by now most of us have correctly guessed that Timbaland is copping production on Robin Thicke's next album "Blurred Lines" in the form of "Take It Easy On Me" so what I'm gonna do is delve down the degrees of confirmation.
First off, the song pretty much follows the flow that Pharrell did on the title track, both in melody, rhythm, and lyrics, if you need a reminder then watch/listen to this: (NSFW)
Robin Thicke 'Blurred Lines' (Dirty Version) from OB MANAGEMENT on Vimeo.
Secondly, it's not uncommon of Tim to premiere a demo of a song live like he did this one, he's done it before with "Hold Your Breath", I don't think I need to remind you who (disgustingly) landed up with that one in the end. Here's a reminder of the live version.
And third and lastly: well this is probably got nothing to do with it, but they both are on Interscope Records, so a collabo had to come, but more importantly you can click here for a forum thread which has had the privilege of listening and and reviewing the album exclusively.
Chally Unmixed Instrumental
Alright you asked for it, you're getting it! Instrumental beat from Chally coming up, but first a word from our sponsors: This is an exclusive item with given to us with consent of Michael Challenger in the trust that none of us will be downloading this track, only stream it online for reviewing and listening purposes.
Now this a beat that's been designed with two artists in mind, namely Sevyn Streeter and/or Keri Hilson!
I believe the track is best suited to Keri, thhough ultimately it's up to the officials to decide, not mention the one who'll be writing for the track, Eric Bellinger (see below for a selection of his discography).
I believe Sevyn can also rock this track too, she'll be meeting up with Chally in Miami next month to try make some more magic happen. And just in case none of you have heard of her or her style, perhaps this will get you going:
Now if you could choose honestly, who do you say would fit the track better, Sevyn or Keri? Bear in mind that Ms Hilson wants a really emotional look for her next album, and that this beat is primarily designed for Ms Streeter. Otherwise enjoy this little gift guys and girls, Chally and I both decided and agreed that we can share it only for y'all!
As promised here's some of Eric's discogs:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TIMBALAND!!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR MOSLEY!! THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU HAVE DONE!! HERE'S TO MANY MORE YEARS OF GREAT MUSIC!! ALL THE SUPAFRIENDS SENDS YOU THEIR SALUTES!!
This year for the birthday tribute we decided to go with this medley by Marco - G. from YouTube, in his cleverly laid-out acoustic clip of the various masterpieces by Timbo, namely; "The Way I Are", "Carry Out", "4 Minutes", "SexyBack", "One & Only", "My Love", and "If We Ever Meet Again".
Keri Hilson talks Third Album
It has been a MINUTE since we heard any activity from Keri Hilson! Yet finally it looks like she is ready to make a movement on her third album effort as of yet still untitled nor is there any release date yet, but we can expect it in 2013.
The album in question is described to be mesh of her first two albums, "In A Perfect World..." & "No Boys Allowed" and it will be a very emotional project. Kanye West is a hopeful for a collaboration and I think he will be on the album as he was on the last two and Ms Hilson has always had a thing for Mr West, so we'll just chill and see what happens...
Timbaland & Polow da Don will once again serve as executive producers on the album.
2013 is definitely looking up to be a quality year of music!
Danja Interview with YouKnowIGotSoul.com
Well once again, the main man "Kyle Ng" from youknowigotsoul.com managed to hook up with Danja for an interview where we finally get some light shed on his work with Timbaland.
Dig it:
Now for those of us curious to hear the Timbaland parts, here it is in text form:
YouKnowIGotSoul: I was introduced to you through a song titled “Betta Half” by Ginuwine. How did that opportunity come about? I know you were working on Timbaland at the time, but how did that particular opportunity come about?
Danja: I actually did that record before I started working with Timbaland. It was just through meeting a bunch of different people. I was pretty young at that time. I actually went to Ginuwine’s house, met him and played him a bunch of tracks. He loved the track and out of that meeting “Betta Half” happened.
YouKnowIGotSoul: The production on that song is very different from what we know from you now. What was the approach with that song?
Danja: Well I always did a lot of different styles of music, but just for Ginuwine it was just a batch of R&B tracks that I gave to him. I was in a real heavy R&B mode at that particular time as well as Hip Hop, but you have to cater the music to the type of artist you are working with.
YouKnowIGotSoul: I know you as well as Keri Hilson and Marcella started out originally working under Timbaland. Talk to me about the grind and journey that you guys went through to develop into who you guys are today.
Danja: It was just getting the opportunity as individuals to enhance our craft outside of the camp we came from. I began to work with Diddy a lot and worked with Bad Boy at Daddy’s House in New York. I would work there. We would have our own rooms to work, so I guess I was just left in my own space to grow and develop myself. I always wanted to develop my own sound and my own style. Listening to a lot of different music, putting a lot this together and working with a lot of different artists, it didn’t lead me any other reason but to come up with something eclectic and something to call my own. Just over time working with a lot of artists and having that opportunity for us to be by ourselves and work separately allowed us to grow.
YouKnowIGotSoul: When you and Timbaland first came out, you guys had this crazy sound that was very unique and ended up blowing everywhere. Talk to me about that creative process and how you guys came up with that particular sound.
Danja: It was just two individuals with two different music minds, being open minded and coming together. That just created something different. I have a different music opinion than what Timbaland has even though we agree a lot on the same things, but we just have a different approach with how we do things. We compromised at that time just for the collaborative effort. I wasn’t trying to do something he did and he wasn’t trying to do something that I did. We just brought something different to the table and the hits that we made were a product of that.
YouKnowIGotSoul: It seemed like every song you guys put out together ended up being a hit from Justin Timberlake, Nelly Furtado to even Madonna. Do you think that type of success can be replicated or was it because of the timing?
Danja: You never know. I think it has been replicated in the sense that we had the Dubstep movement. I can’t really speak so much for the Dance movement because I think we opened the door for the dance world. Even the Dubstep movement, we opened that door for this broad, international sound. The David Guettas had an opportunity to also have hit records on the side because we already paved the way for that sound. It just really depends, you never know. I think what we did at the time was a product of fun in the studio and not really setting any boundaries or being inside a box. I think it can be replicated. No one knows the recipe. There’s no set thing you can follow to come up with that again. I think when the stars align, it’ll all happen again. Music evolves and I think more than anything, people just have to keep their ears open for things that’s new and different and not really expect the same thing that’s happened over and over. It’ll happen, but it may be in a different form.
YouKnowIGotSoul: Talk about that decision for you to eventually branch out and start your own thing. To a lot of people, it seems like a huge risk because you had a lot of hits working with Timbaland. Talk about that decision and do your own thing.
Danja: It just came from careers going in two different directions. Timbaland was doing his thing touring with Justin and I was still here in the studio working on projects. It wasn’t necessarily a decision, it was just kind of the way things had prevailed. From that point on, things picked up on my end and I started working more and more on different things.
YouKnowIGotSoul: Do you see yourself working with Timbaland in the future?
Danja: You never know. We haven’t planned on anything. We spoke a few times on a couple of different things. I think for the right project, we’ll make up and work. As of now, there is nothing planned.
YouKnowIGotSoul: My personal favorite song that you did is Keri Hilson’s “Where Did He Go?”. Talk about that song.
Danja: That’s a collaboration. That was myself and Timbaland. It was him with the drums and I just played a guitar line. He just heard a sample of what I did and reprogrammed it with the ASR. He did with the ASR. That’s an old throwback track, but it was a collaborative effort. It’s two brains on that record with the drum sound and the melodics from me.
