With the help of Keri Hilson’s powerful vocals, Timbaland saw his most successful radio single, The Way I Are, catapult his last album, Shock Value, to platinum certification. Now, the super-producer will Return The Favor, as he appears as a guest artist and producer on Hilson’s second new single. Co-written by The Clutch and Hilson, Return The Favor tackles the need for both parties in a relationship to go the extra mile and do for the other as they would appreciate themselves. And the best part? The message is delivered via a danceable Timbo number, ready for repeat play at your favorite club next weekend. A solid complement to the recently-featured Turnin’ Me On, the record is set to turn-up at iTunes on October 7, roughly a month before the release of her solo debut, In A Perfect World….
Keri back with Timbo. This should be a good look! I loved Timbaland's production on this. It's his recently branded classic signature sound of futuristic R&B/Trance music. Keri made her debut with him and I like her return the vibe. This will do well in the mainstream clubs (Top 40 clubs, diverse setting of attendees). I definitely dig this joint because I look these type of clubby, Timbo joints. Other heads or hip hop purists may have something negative to say about this. It's all good. I expect to hear this all over the night life real soon. Banger.
Keri is killin it, I def think she is one of the future faces of female R&B. The production on here is nuts! It sounds a little different from Timbo which is a good change of pace. The way the track is mastered also brings it up and improves the whole quality here. I was a little surprised 'Energy' didn't take over the top spot at radio but this right here has potential to be bigger. Blast this on some big loud speakers and you might just start movin. Banger!
i wish.. i WISH i could say the same about this song as everyone before me.. but keri is a HIT or MISS for me.. and this was so much of a miss.. sorry tim, i didnt even like the beat.. i'll wait for the next song by her.
ONCE AGAIN TIMBO DELIVERS ANOTHER HOTT BEAT HES PRODUCTION SKILLS ARE ON TOP RIGHT NOW,NOT REALLY A FAN OF KERI HILSON BUT TIMBO MAKES IT WORTH LISTENING TO.
Now this is the kind of hit that can make Keri Hilson blow up. This is a fresh, new Timbaland sound that can really build anticipation for her album, which I know will be amazing because of her unbelievable songwriting skills. This song reminds me of Nelly Furtado's "Promiscous" with Keri Hilson and Timbaland going back and forth, but its different, probably because we haven't heard anything like this in a while. I can already see them making a super-cool video for this song.
Beat and Vocals are nice. However, although the beat is a cool one, I don't feel a lot of energy in it. Not sure what it is. As a club hit I feel it will be a couple steps below "Way I Are".
Damn Timbo...production is hot as hell, ill agree that its not as good as "way I are" but nonetheless, timbo and keri deliver serious heat...beat is hot, keri's voice is strong and sexy...4 star banger for my future ex wife!!
This track isn't so immediate, I need to listen to it more than once to fully appreciate all its faces! Production is banging (well it's easy to understand why, Timbo is a monster in my opinion!), Keri's vocals are really powerful and the overall song is sooo original...the beat it's really catchy! Yes Keri this will get bigger than The Way I Are (and I hope I'll hear it also in Italy...The Way I Are got a big success)!
The production is bananas!!(yeah yall haven't heard that in a minute)Timbo came correct with this one...and Keri has a very strong vocal presence here....Certified Banger....
I heard this for the first time exactly a month ago and i really didn't like it much for some reason. Anyway, it got onto my phone when i was transfering my new stuff and I listened to it again and again and again, and before long it grew on me. This is pretty daym TITE! Keri should produce a good album, I don't know how well it will sell but with her great vocals and song writing, and production like this, it should be decent.
I gotta disagree with the majority here, I'm not feeling this song at all. Polow and Tim giving Keri these weak ass beats. At this rate she'll be staring at a 09 release.
Keri Hilson is so fine N she has a beautiful voice 2 macth! And on top of all dat, she has arguably one of the best porodcers of all time on her side! She can't lose!!!
can she get better lyrics PLEASE???
she has no good content.
the beat: tim--> youz a monsta... as always.
ill dance to it in the club, but i wont buy her album...
she's so average to me.
dont like keri
=D
Well, ya know its a Tim joint from the first bar, Keri voice is generic, really doesnt do anything for me at all, but im lovin the beat, and it will make the broads shake their asses.
