New album, new image and a new sound for Keri Hilson. Lead single from her sophomore album "Breaking Point". It's a really laid back female anthem. The lyrics talk about a woman having a limit to how much she can put up with a guy's inappropriate behaviour. She demands more respect and love from her man referring to how some women can tolerate the attitude more than others.Claiming that "Some women can be lied to and cheated on and beated on". The song has a solid beat and Timbaland's signature beatboxing. Also, it contains a synth horn sound playing all through. There's a skank played on the organs in the chorus. For those of you who think a skank is a scrawny, trashy woman or simply just a dance, it's not. Apart from being a slang term, a skank is a musical technique highly associated with reggae. When you're listening to reggae music (preferably), count (1,2,3,4) and on the 2nd and 4th counts, the skank wikll be played usually on the guitar, organ or piano.
Anyway, back to the review. This is a strong choice and it's different from what everyone else is trying to sound like. This song is a good R&B joint and hopefully will be the start of a new era for Ms. Keri. It doesn't sound too commercial but it's still got that nice urban feel most of us like in our R&B. I can safely say: "Go check this song out!!!". I hope you like it, I know (and now so do you) I did: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oq_cF2LCXzMeD ship is taking off baby!!!
