To celebrate a vibrant first season of Billboard.com’s Tastemakers video series, we decided to do something extra special for our final session of 2010: an exclusive live Keri Hilson concert for a lounge-full of fans at Aloft Harlem. What better way to fete the year than with Hilson “Pretty Girl Rock”in’ the grand opening of the sleek, new space in New York City?
Follow the jump to see Keri perform “Beautiful Mistake,” “Lose Control (Let Me Down),” “Hustler” and more.
The R&B songstress took the Aloft stage with a full band and two background singers and fans were treated to a three-song set from her brand-new sophomore album, “No Boys Allowed,” including “Beautiful Mistake” and “Lose Control (Let Me Down).” Released Dec. 21 on Interscope/Zone 4 Records, the album’s title may sound like a girl power party waiting to happen but it’s even more complex and considered. Her “ladies first” perspective, which includes an “imaginary clubhouse” where all women – single, taken, and anywhere in between — take control of their confidence and realize it’s the key to self-empowerment is front and center, but men are also part of the picture.
