Keri Hilson, Inspired by Africa...??

Keri Hilson received plenty of accolades during her transition from songwriter to performer, including a Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist.
Now, Hilson is in full-on artist mode as she works on the follow-up to her debut album, In a Perfect World ... . According to Hilson, promoting her first album actually helped inspire her sophomore effort.
"Everywhere I travel, I get music from that region of the world," she told MTV News. "I've been to Nigeria, I've been to South Africa, three cites in Africa [in all]. I gather music from these regions, and African music is very drum-heavy. It was very inspiring. I'm definitely going to be using some of that inspiration." says Keri in
