I need to hear "28,000" in full because I'm not quite feeling it.

"28 Thousand Days" is cute. I like the verses more than I like the hook/chorus. The production is cute too. It is missing a bridge because it feels incomplete.

Another Maya Angelou, self-help song. She is killing me with these inspirational cutesy singles.
Love the beat though. Very Urban.

I don't like it either. Good thing it's just for an advertising campaign and not the album.

I'm starting to think she will debut the new song on the VMAs or right before and promote it on the show. After all the VMAs has been really good promotion for her before. I'm also expecting a late October or Mid-November release date. I hope she gives us a nice R&B song as the first single.

I hope she will release a great first single...but i think she will release another commercial/bland song because she (and her team) think it will help her to sell more album copies

She really needs to write a self-help book or something so she can get all of this Mother Earth sh!t out of her songwriting.

The song's alright. I quite like the production though. Hopefully she'll have a good few great songs on her next album.

Why do you all hate these type of songs ? LOL
i like inspirational or positive or protest songs...if they are well written and produced, of course.
yesterday i read on the web "i want a sex anthem" lmao...if u want a sex anthem go to listen to Beyoncé.
btw after listening to 28000 Days a few times the only things i don't like are the repetitive horns and Hey ey ey.

She really needs to write a self-help book or something so she can get all of this Mother Earth sh!t out of her songwriting. Shoulda just done a Jewel and published one as a side-product to one of her last album. The issue with these "inspirational" tracks from her is that they all pretty much follow virtually the same dull lyrical template and overall theme and feeling. It really wouldn't be that much of a problem if she diversified it and found different ways to make it interesting and different, but she doesn't. There doesn't even seem to be an attempt to, which further makes this a sore spot because aside from these songs, she's actually experimented successfully on her most recent projects when she moves away from this. I still maintain that if you nixed these type of songs (along with a few others) from her last 2 albums and put what's left together, you'd wind up with one of the strongest and most forward-thinking R&B albums of the decade.

The only good thing is the horns. And at least she's not screaming.

But if you know her you should know that on the new album there will be great songs. 28000Days will probably be the weakest track of the new album...like were New Day and Girl On Fire. I'm not expecting a great first single tbh, but i know she will deliver at least a good album. Of course i want greatness from her. Btw the new song is produced by Alicia, Mark Batson and Swizz (i knew Swizz was involved...those horns are typical from him ) 9th Wonder @9thwonder This "28 Thousand Days" by @aliciakeys has GRIT....that's what we need....soul over grooves and grit...

28 Thousand Days. It sounds like it could have been on any of her last three albums. It feels like familiar territory, nothing exciting or new for me. Even some of the lyrics feels recycled. Not impressed.

28 Thousand Days. It sounds like it could have been on any of her last three albums. It feels like familiar territory, nothing exciting or new for me. Even some of the lyrics feels recycled. Not impressed. Concur. And they are not helping her in her sales quest. Same old, same old. She's gonna have to take the empowering anthems to a mixtape, re-release or on tour or something. Keep it off the album. Or better yet. Don't release them as singles or "promo" singles. And don't promote and perform them at every LIVE show. They aint doing nothing but alienating radio and potential buyers of her album. First "Speechless" ft EVE, then "New Day", "Girl of Fire" and "Brand New Me"....followed by "We Are Here"...and now "28000 Days". Damn....the general public probably thinks the "Girl of Fire" album is a self-help empowering book for teenage girls. Hence the poor sales of the album. What dude will go out and buy that? I'm not saying she shouldn't record them or anything. She is a mom now. She wants to use her voice for a better good. She is grown. We get it. But skip the mellow annual empowering anthems and just drop the monsta singles.
