No Boys Allowed
''No Boys Allowed'' is the second studio album by American recording artist Keri Hilson. It was released on December 17, 2010, by Mosley Music and Zone 4 Records. On the album, Hilson has reunited with Timbaland and Polow da Don, who executively produced the album, as they did with her debut release. Hilson also worked with several other producers and songwriters, including Ne-Yo, John Legend, StarGate, Bei Maejor and Boi-1da, among others. Meanwhile, Chris Brown, Rick Ross, Kanye West, J. Cole, Nelly and Timbaland, are serving as featured guest vocals. Musically, ''No Boys Allowed'' is an R&B album, which incorporates pop, soul, electro and dancehall into the songs.
Upon its release, the album has received mixed reviews from most music critics, and peaked at number 11 on the US ''Billboard'' 200, selling 102,000 copies in its first week. Although it sold 8,000 copies more than her debut album, ''In a Perfect World...'' (2009), it failed to match that album's debut chart position of number 4. ''No Boys Allowed'' also debuted on the R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart at number 7, and at number 10 on the UK R&B Albums Chart. The album's lead single, "Breaking Point" was released in the United States on September 7, 2010 and peaked at number 44 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. The second single "Pretty Girl Rock", was released on October 12, 2010, and peaked within the top ten on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and the top fifteen in New Zealand.
== Recording and production ==
Following her acoustic performance of "Knock You Down" at ''Billboard'' headquarters in January 2010, Hilson told Mariel Concepcion of ''Billboard'' magazine, that she plans to start recording her second album soon and hopes to work with Robin Thicke, Lauryn Hill and Ryan Leslie. When asked how the album was coming along in June 2010, Hilson made the following comments to ''Rap-Up TV'': "I've been in the studio with a lot of special people, a lot of big names, but a lot of talented people as well ... It's all about new inspiration that I have and just getting all the ideas that I've been collecting out, so it's time." She also confirmed reports that she's been working with Dr. Dre. In July 2010, Hilson revealed in an interview, that she has been working with Polow da Don, Tricky Stewart and Danja, who she had previously collaborated with for ''In a Perfect World...'' (2009). She also said, that the album would be released when the time is right. "We didn't want to rush this one ... I wanted it to be as organic and as emotional as the first one."
During this time, Lil' Kim told HollywoodTV, that she's been in the studio working on a collaboration with Hilson, on a song titled, "Buyou", and revealed Polow da Don produced the track. In an interview with The Boom Box, Hilson spoke of the song saying: "I wanted to talk about how it's not cool to mooch off your woman. It's not manly, it's very boy-like. I don't want to take care of my man. I do buy my own things. You are doing nothing for me, you are taking from me and that's not a good situation. Buy you a phone, buy you a car. It's like saying, come correct or don't come at all." However, "Buyou" with Lil' Kim did not make the final track listing, and was replaced with a different version of the song featuring J. Cole. In an interview, Hilson explained, "I happened to love it, () having all boy features kinda took precedent over that whole thing happening. However, the door is still open for a remix. ''In a Perfect World...'', it would be () Kim and Nicki Minaj on the same track." In August 2010, Hilson revealed in an interview with ''Global Grind'' that she did not going on any vacations for the Summer, and instead she moved to Los Angeles to work on the album with Timbaland and Polow da Don.〔 A statement by Polow was released on Hilson's website, saying "Keri's intense focus on ''No Boys Allowed'' has been inspiring to both Timbaland and I, in and out of the studio. This will definitely be one of the best albums of 2010/2011."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Keri Hilson: About )〕 In November 2010, John Legend revealed in an interview with ''Rap-Up'', that he wrote a song called, "All the Boys" for the album, and described the song as a "reminiscent of past love".
