It'd be kinda cool if she was doing what people are saying Beyoncé is doing, a Purple Rain-type movie/ album. But I really don't think Alicia is creative enough for that anymore.LOL...please. It's the music that matters. Beyoncé Selftitled album was a creative release, but the album itself wasn't crestive. Half of the album is good, the rest is trash. The music should have been creative. I didn't even watch all the music videos. So FIRST i need great music. I don't need a movie. If Beyoncé's new album will be a good/great album i will enjoy watching the movie/videos tho :)

What the hell going on then? I mean Erika makes sense because I think last era was definitely not a great one for her due to management. I wish she would have stick with Jeff because he knows her well. I just hope this doesn't come down where Swizz is managing her, yuck.
It explains why the album hasn't been released. I want her to take her time, but I still want some music soon.

They had Tears Always Win wich was perfect as a first single but they released GOF wich is a mediocre pop song. Then they released Brand New Me wich is a really good song but its pop/soul. New Day as a buzz single was meh. Btw i don't think we will get the new album before Autumn.

Kinda shocked about the whole move. Alicia Keys' biggest mistake was firing Jeff Robinson as her longtime manager and kicking her production partner Kerry Krucial Brothers to the curb. Those three (Keys, Krucial & Jeff) were a dynamic trio that brought the world Alicia Keys, and sold 13 million of her albums until she discarded them. Robinson might not be a super manager with a large roster of mega stars, but he was HER manager, he made HER an international R&B /Soul superstar. He understood her sound, her direction. And he was good at his job.
That camp is crazy if they believe Maverick was to blame for the poor sales and single reception of Girl on Fire. That era was a mess from the get go. They brought in Nicki Minaj (like WHAT??), she released momentum breaker Brand New Me as the all important 2nd single, and to top it off, she kept on performing New Day at every promotional gig she got. NEW DAY, the presumed buzz track that became the most promoted song off that era, and it wasn't even released as a single. And lets be honest, the album was mellow. Adult Contemporary ballads that were never going to be massive hits.
Swizz Beatz is well on his way to become her manager. Dude is sleeping his way to the top post. He is executively producing her albums now, he is producing songs on her albums, so his path is clear.
She is creating a family business now.

I think it was the second single that really killed the momentum and ended the era.

If only RCA/Sony saw a potential target audience with the following as singles at radio.. *101 *One Thing
I think failure to properly cross promote (singles wise) was AK's Team & RCA's problem. LEAD SINGLES: Girl on Fire - Fire We Make *GOF (Mainstream, Rhythmic, & Hot AC) - FWM (Urban AC & Urban) 2ND SINGLES: Tears Always Win & 101 *TAW (Mainstream, Rhythmic, & Hot AC) - 101 (Urban AC & Urban) 3RD SINGLE: One Thing (Urban AC & Urban)
There was absolutely NO need for three versions of Girl on Fire. The intended original version was enough.
The main issue with Girl on Fire (single) was the fact RCA/Sony held it's impacting airplay date at Mainstream/Top 40 Radio back almost two months after it's premiere. (Serviced three weeks before the parent album's release to Mainstream/Top 40 Radio) GOF (single) had relative LOW airplay at radio leading into the parent album's release.
This ultimately hurt the album's debut week sales a great deal.
I do agree with the notion.. Lyrically GOF was her WEAKEST single ever. Very lackluster for her core base imo.. Interestingly, It's arguably her most catchiest to date (Following 'No One')

GOF did really good on the chart but it's her worst song ever and a lot of people hate it, whereas Tears Always Win is soulful and catchy so i don't think it would have flopped. It went #1 in South Korea before it was released as a single LOL.

I really don't have any interest in this project now. I'm excited because it looks like it will be a social conscious album but she has been pushing this damn album at least 3 times and now she is filming a video for a (musically bland) song that was released over a year ago. A hot mess!

Wasn't Pharell talking about this album before Miley's dropped? I seem to remember an interview where he said Miley was going to kill it with new music, and the Alica was working on groundbreaking stuff that was incredible. Where is that music?

Yes it was in 2014 but Alicia was still working on the new album. I know for sure the album should have dropped in Q4 2015 but then the album was pushed back (probably because Adele came back) e now i think it will drop next Autumn.

Mmm...if she will release the album by the end of the year i'm good with that. The Voice could be a good promo. If she will push the album back again i don't want it anymore.

15 years ago today, Alicia Keys' No. 1 debut single "Fallin" was released. The chart topping record would set her on course for an impressive career, with 34 million albums sold worlwide to date, 5 No. 1 albums, and 8 No. 1 R&B Singles.
