No One and Fallin are the only FRESH soundin tracks Ive heard from her.. Fallin.. since that was her first single.
She does not push any boundaries really..
But I kinda like this. Could get old fast.

Her singles for the most part are so similar sounding. Has this girl ever pushed any boundary AT ALL? :/ You think Fallin, A Woman's Worth, You Don't Know My Name, If I Ain't Got You, Karma, No One, Teenage Love Affair, etc sound similar? They all sound very different to me. |

Wow. This is hella generic. Definitely not what I expected from her.

I'm a big fan of Alicia Keys, but after two listens, I'm officially disappointed. Maybe it'll grow on me later on, but on first (second) impression, this ain't quality, Alicia!

This sounds tailor-made for the season finale of some teen-drama or something. By far her most underwhelming first single, IMO.
Oh, and regarding the question about boundary-pushing, I think the long-ass spoken part of "You Don't Know My Name" would qualify, especially when released as a first single, no?

this song's lyric concept sounds like "no one".this song does not sound radio friendly and kinda sound bland. the first listen really are not grabbing my attention much.this maybe a grower but i sure feel this song is not a top 40 material.

Not liking it. Very boring. However I felt the same way towards "No One". She needs to recreate Love Me Like You'll Never See Me Again. THAT IS PURE ORGASMIC AND BLISS.  |

IMO this will go inside top 10 and its the 1st single from her new album so i expect a top 5 hit. |

She was on the Today Show today to talk about her new music. They asked her about Lil Mama and Kanye West too.

Just had my first listen. I don't know...it has some similarities with No One when it comes to the tune and sound, but it's considerably different in terms of the lyrical content and pace. And unlike No One which fades towards the end with strong and loud notes, this single sort of quietly fades out and ends.
Again, I'll wait until a few more listens before determining this will grow on me or otherwise. Overall, I'm undecided for the moment.

And for that matter, it was the #1 R&B song of the year. But, maybe they were referring specifically top the POP/CHR. |

The bridge is definitely the best part of this. I really like it, but it's probably her weakest first single so far, although that might be because her other 3 are astounding.

This is not nearly as good as her other songs. In any case, I expect this to hit the Top 10 of the HOT 100 based on hype alone. If it grows on people then I say, Top 5 or #1.

If this track was as strong as her role on Empire State of Mind, this would be a guaranteed smash first single.

i think its a really strong first single and not every song has to hit in the face like pummel of bricks.
