Today’s Flashback Friday features the R&B songbird Keri Hilson. At the tail end of the 2000s, she shined with hit after hit—specifically with the juggernaut smasher “Knock You Down.” (Released in 2009 via Mosley Music Group/Interscope, the track featured Kanye West and Ne-Yo, and hit No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.)
Circa 2009 for “In Session Soundcheck,” dig out the diva in all her glory—unveiling sleek vocals and stage presence. (This stripped-down set gave fans a raw, intimate take on her studio polish.)
The following live rendition captures the emotion and energy of a standout moment in the 2009 R&B/pop landscape. (Hilson’s era-defining blend of vulnerability and swagger still hits.)
