Keri Hilson - The Way Ya Love Me
Artist: Keri Hilson
Featuring: Rick Ross
Producer: Polow Da Don
Album: No Boys Allowed
Label: Mosely Music/Zone 4/Interscope
Has anyone figured out a surefire formula for songwriters to transition into successful performing artists? If so Keri Hilson needs a swig of that magic elixir as she delivers her new single The Way Ya Love Me, featuring the so-called boss himself, Rick Ross. Not sure how much Ms. Keri Baby is going to turn you on with this, but her Ring the Alarm-tinted track doesn’t seem like the hit she’s been looking for. Producer Polow Da Don, Hilson’s clutch, gives Keri a platform to present a perfectly balanced record filled with uptempo sounds made for a group of high school cheerleaders or those auditioning for a talent show routine. Pop music, maybe. Hip-hop, nay. Honestly, I already know how the DJs will execute this record in the club: either use the beat to transition to another song or drop Rozay’s aggressive verse during a Rick Ross enclave of tracks. Sorry Keri, but I need to hear more than rock influenced vocals before I can get truly excited about your upcoming album No Boys Allowed. You have until December 21 to win me over.
This song first appeared on the
R&B / Pop Chart
on November 15, 2010

Polow's production work on this record will be talked about as the only stand out feature, because let me tell you - the rest of the song doesn't (in my opinion) fit Keri Hilson at all. This honestly sounds like an experimental studio session; not something a label would approve as a potential new single.
Side note: The album is called "No Boys Allowed." So why a Ross feature? Last I checked, he was a man. Why not go with only female features? Or change the title of the album? I don't know, just thoughts...

Wow, true definition of classless rubbish. Shame too, I had hope for Keri but this album will probably flop. Disappointed.
And DJ Z, I think by 'boys' she meant dudes that act/behave like boys |

Ahhh what happened to the Keri that could do no wrong? I mean I used to love everything she dropped and now everything is a bit weak... Rick Ross is a tad out of place too

I agree with you "mathu". What happened to the "Knock You Down" Keri Hilson, that was climbing the charts, and earning radio success? Well i guess she's lost somewhere. Hopefully tho she'll find her way back to her old self soon.

Polow's production here works well in someone as schizophrenic as Nicki Minaj or M.I.A.; with Keri it's just plain annoying.
Keri is slowly becoming one of my least favourite female singers now... this sophomore alblum is not shaping up to be a good one, at the rate she's going. Rozay doesn't fit well here either. Once again, I would've gone for Nicki as a feature. Keri's screaming voice doesn't contrast well Ross' deep voice. |

I see where they were trying to go with this record, but it misses by a longshot.

This is really weak right here. I wasn't expecting this to be that bad really...Especially with Polow on the boards! This better not be the first single. That would be a disaster. Rick Ross is decent on here, but he doesn't really fit well on the beat. Oh well.

Im agreeing with "DJ Z" on this one. The production from Polow is the one good thing about this. Although the lyrics are catchy, it is also annoying. This is not something i expected from Keri. And why is Rick featured if the Album is called "No Boys Allowed"?? Well.....i guess its too late now. There might be a album name change...well should be.

I am usually biased to Keri because she is a gorgeous an can do no wrong in my book.
But my unbiased opinion is that this is not a bad song. The beat is really up tempo and and the hook is catchy. I think this was made soley for the ladies, it has their flavor all over it. Ross held it down for the dudes but it leans more to the ladies. Sooooo....3 stars |

The only good feature here is the production (yeah, it's Polow!). She is absolutely annoying! Keri, where have you lost? Please come back soon with something DECENT!

Maybe its just me (and it seems like it is so far), but this is a banger. The production is on point, Keri's energy matching the beat and Ross came with a good guest spot. I can see this killing the club going into 2011.

Can't believe the low rating on here, hopefully my 4 star speaks some sense... Why you people hate this track ?
Hating on Ross?? His contribution to this song was vital, decent song, should do well. |
