THREE’S COMPANY: BOBBY V. JOINS KEYSHIA COLE, KERI HILSON ON NATIONAL TOUR

Album ‘THE REBIRTH’ Is No. 1 Debut On R&B/Hip-Hop Chart
And No. 7 Entry on Billboard Top 200;
New Single “HANDS ON ME” Follows Top 10 Urban Smash “Beep”

Three is a magic number for every fan of today’s best rhythm and blues, as RIAA gold-certified Blu Kolla Dreams/EMI singer-songwriter BOBBY V. joins two more of soul’s finest young voices, Keyshia Cole and Keri Hilson, on a national tour.

With dates now scheduled from a mid-May kick-off in the Midwest to a late-June West Coast wrap, the tour, with platinum Imani/Geffen/Interscope artist Keyshia Cole, and much-admired Mosley/Zone4/Interscope newcomer Keri Hilson, is all but a greatest-hits package of defining new R&B voices.

The three talented singer-songwriters have all simultaneously been in the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Top 10 this month: Bobby V. with “Beep,” Keyshia Cole with “You Complete Me,” and Keri Hilson with “Turnin’ Me On.” Bobby V.’s follow-up single, “Hands On Me” is an instant urban radio breakout, the second most-added record of its release week, with over three dozen radio station adds.

Bobby V.’s third studio album, THE REBIRTH, is his third consecutive No. 1 R&B album, and the first in Blu Kolla Dreams’ innovative distribution deal with EMI Music Services. It is also his third Billboard Top 10 album. The album debuted at No. 7 on Billboard’s Top 200 chart, and at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. EMI Music Services distributes the album in the US and in international territories, as well as providing a suite of services such as promotion, publicity and access to digital platforms.

In online sales and stream traffic, “Beep,” featuring Yung Joc, has generated over 7.2 million audio streams on the official Bobby Valentino MySpace.com webpage. He is a No. 2 Top Artist on MySpace Music, with nearly 13 million profile views and 43.4 million total song plays. “Beep” has been an iTunes Top 20 best-selling song in the R&B format. The album has been Top 10 in iTunes’ R&B album sales chart.

THE REBIRTH also features production work by L.O.S. (J. Holiday, Usher), longtime Bobby V. collaborators Tim & Bob, and a special team-up with Raphael Saadiq on a remake of “Just Me & You,” Saadiq’s classic song from Boyz N the Hood. Bobby also makes his own production debut on the track “Make Me Say,” inspired by Bobby V.’s step-out part on Lil Wayne’s album highlight and Top 5 smash “Mrs. Officer.”

BOBBY V. hit No. 1 on Billboard’s R&B Hip-Hop album chart and No. 3 on the national Top 200 Albums chart with the RIAA Gold-certified album Disturbing tha Peace Presents Bobby Valentino in 2005. In 2007, Special Occasion also debuted in the No. 1 position on Billboard’s R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, and No. 3 on the Top 200 Albums. Valentino’s 2004 RIAA gold single “Slow Down” was No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart, and No. 8 on Billboard’s Hot 100. Valentino’s Top 20 R&B/Hip-Hop hits also include “Tell Me” (2005) and “Anonymous,” featuring Timbaland (2007).

Ryan Leslie, Fabolous, & Keri Hilson Studio Session video

Video rundown via Ryan Leslie’s official website.

“Fabolous has always looked out. When my very first official single “Used 2 Be” was released, he lent his talent to a then unknown artist looking for a break. More recently, he featured on “Addiction” and showed up for both videos. When I heard his album was almost finished, I made it a priority to get him into the studio so that I could reciprocate his good will”

“I picked up the talkbox the night before my SOB’s concerts. I’m still learning how to get the sound I want from it, so I’m always practicing with it in sessions. The riff I’m playing was just for fun and is only recorded in the video footage. Keri Hilson happened to be in an adjacent room and stopped in to hear what I was working on. Glad she was inspired to touch the record. Her talent is clearly evident. Shout out to Funk Flex, DJ Clue, Duro and Lenny S for appearing in this post and continuing to support me & NextSelection.”

The smash hit “Turnin’ Me On” featuring Lil Wayne has been on top of the Urban Radio Charts for six weeks. Hilson’s third single, “Knock You Down,” which features Kanye West and Ne-Yo, is already tracking to be a successful hit as it was the number one most added song at Urban Radio last week.

Hilson has received many accolades in the media.

“Keri Hilson- who’s penned songs for Brittany Spears and Usher, among others- gracefully emerges from behind the scenes with a seductive debut CD full of slick, radio-friendly cuts.” Entertainment Weekly

“Her smooth vocals and verve spark the bumping club jams and sexy midtempo grooves.” USA Today

“On her album debut, the 26-year-old singer/songwriter lays her vocal and writing skills over boom-bap productions for a set that is delightfully flirtatious (”Return The Favor”), heartfelt (”Energy”) and full of diva antics (”Get Your Money Up”). Billboard Magazine

Hilson is currently touring on the “I Am Music Tour” with Lil Wayne, T-Pain, Gym Class Heroes and Electric Red.

No awkward flirting in this one, except at the 2:08 mark, kinda.

The beat sounds cool though.
