I have been waiting so long to get my hands on Keri Hilson's No Boys Allowed album, and there's no doubt that this pretty girl can rock.
The album is called No Boys Allowed - it's pure girl power and about being sexually confident, and confident as a woman; not putting up with crap relationships and getting your way.
With tracks such as Gimme What I Want, Beautiful Mistake and The Way You Love Me, there is no denying this chick oozes confidence.
It's also no surprise the album screams pure girl-power anthems.
I'm a true Hilson fan and the songs Beautiful Mistake, Lose Control, Gimme What I Want and The Way You Love Me remind me why.
She's just a cool chick who has cool songs and a cool attitude.
There was only one song on the 13-track album that I didn't love straight away and that was Bahm Bahm (Do It Once Again).
However, I got into it after a few plays.

No Boys Allowed
shows why Hilson is one of the coolest chicks in R&B right now.

Stars:
4/5
