After releasing the last single from her debut album, In A Perfect World…, Keri Hilson has already begun in the studio for work on her sophomore album.

Keri has been back in the studio with those who help create the success of Perfect World, including Timbaland, Danjahandz, Polow Da Don, and now adding Kanye West to the list of heavyweights on the album, as well as Will.i.Am. Here’s what head of urban music at Interscope Records, DJ Mormile, had to say about Keri’s upcoming project:

“We’re just getting into this,” says Mormile.

“But we already have an idea of what we want to do. This album will continue the evolution of Keri, building off the hits ‘Knock You Down’ and ‘Turning Me On,’ which helped define her. This new album will be ‘Turning You On’ times 10.” [SOURCE]

She hopes to have her album out by May 31st of this year, with a single out no later than March. There have been hints that newcomer, Drake, who is also slated to put out a new album this year, will be a guest feature.

Jazmine Sullivan, who released her debut album, Fearless back in 2008 is back in the studio working on her sophomore album.

She worked with a flurry of producers on her last album, and this time around, Sullivan has tapped the likes of Ne-Yo, Los Da Mystro and Ryan Leslie. Interestingly enough, Jazmine toured with both last Ne-Yo and Ryan Leslie last year.

From the looks of things, this album will be just as well-rounded as the first.

Three tracks confirmed for the album are, “Blow,” the Prince-ode, “Vanity Six,” on which Jazmine chants, “Just play my favorite song, get my ’86 on/Don’t make me wait too long, just play my favorite song/I’ll get my Vanity Six on,” over drums and horns, as well as the reference, follow-up track to her hit “Bust Your Windows,” on the Ne-Yo-written, “You Get On My Nerves.”
