BREAKING POINT

Keri Hilson’s Breaking Point to me is a lyrically awesome song that is performed over classical and yet mediocre beats. Like her first single “Energy” off her “In a Perfect World”, i dont see Breaking Point breaking its way through the charts. The lyrics are strong but the composure is very “safe”. In this musical era where acts like Lady Gaga and Rihanna are defying sensibility to create masterpieces, there is no room for a safe work from any artiste.

The song has very great soul anecdotes and is very reminiscent of a Lauryn Hill record. But Keri failed to pull it off. The extra ooomph factor seen in her hits like “Knock You Down” and “Turnin Me On” is lacking.

This song could have been much much better. But hey its her first single. I hope she comes up with something better in the future.
