Make Love (Keri Hilson song)

"Make Love" is a song performed by American recording artist and songwriter Keri Hilson.

After being sent out for radio airplay, "Make Love" reached number ten on the Bubbling Under R&B/Hip-Hop Singles chart, but received no direct promotion.

[3] Patrick Varine of The Observer-Dispatch referred it to as a "hacky mid-'90s R&B" song,[1] and its slow tempo was compared to ballads by American singer Ciara.

Sophie Bruce of BBC Music, Michael Wood of the Los Angeles Times, and a writer for Rap-Up named the song one of the album's highlights.

[3][5][9] Quentin B. Huff of PopMatters was positive, writing that the song and "Slow Dance" "tend to provide better matches between the vocals and the music, since the backdrop keeps things simple and the lyrics don’t always fall into slang and unintentional irony".

[10] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine wrote that the album's problem is the slow numbers, including "Make Love".

[11] Steve Jones of USA Today named it a track to skip,[12] and Glenn Gamboa of Newsday also dismissed the song, writing that it "seems to go on forever, especially following the similarly too-long, too-drawn-out 'Slow Dance'".

[6] Hilson said that the opening scene of her entering her apartment represents her coming home from the studio on a normal day.

[5] The video begins with Hilson as she comes home to her apartment and starts playing "Make Love" on a rough cut CD of In a Perfect World... After taking off her jacket, she sits down on the couch in the living room.
