She's coming! Got my stanning hat on.
Excited to see which direction her music will go in. She went from Neo-Soul/R&B, to R&B/Pop, to Urban AC/Pop.
Can we get a HipHop/R&B sound please?????!!!???

Well, it looks like she has some decent promo coming up -- an SNL slot and judging on The Voice. I hope the music is good.

It sounds like a Gospel/Blues song from the snippets.

Mark Batson A few years back, I sat with Alicia Keys and talked about our music, ideas, dreams and history. I'm excited about the first presentations of the culmination of our creative works. Thanks to the writers and engineers who created with us and helped us to this point in our journey.

I'm shocked Beyonce and Alicia will be releasing around the same time. They spent years avoiding that so this is a surprise.

I'd be willing to forgive her for the past few duds she has released, as long as there's something like "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" on the new album. I listened to that song today and I still consider it my favorite from her; I thought it captured the signature Alicia Keys essence while still moving her sound forward. Same goes for "Un-Thinkable" actually. I hope there's some of that magic in the new stuff.

The Element of Freedom is far and away her most cohesive and consistent album she's released. But she's extremely versatile and can easily top it of she can focus and get out of these social issue topics. Give me a sexed up Prince jam ala "Love Me Like You'll Never...."!

I still maintain that if you took the best parts of her most recent 2 albums and put them together, you'd have one of the greatest R&B albums of modern times. TEOF has absolute career highlights, but also some career lows. Put It In A Love Song is probably the worst thing she's ever done and the lyrics read like it was written by 2 of their stans after some imitation absinthe, and DMA is a poor No One knockoff. Some of the others don't really fully shine imo when played after the other. That said, the highs are sky-high. Try Sleeping, Un-thinkable, This Bed, and Wait 'Til You See My Smile are among the greatest she's ever done. I think I prefer GOF as a whole, but the 2 singles are amongst her least and it's just very low-key overall. I'm not saying that as a negative or positive (the low-key part), it just is.
Picture an album along the lines of:
1. Blessed (Intro) (You know we won't escape this) 2. Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart 3. This Bed 4. Listen To Your Heart 5. Fire We Make (With Maxwell) 6. Wait Til You See My Smile 7. Tears Always Win 8. Love Is My Disease 9. Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready) 10. Limitedless 11. Like The Sea 12. When It's All Over 13. Right Here WaitingThat's How Strong My Love Is (admitting bias here) 14. 101
and maybe one or two more like Love Is Blind somewhere in there. But you get the point, with the clunkers gone and some variety, the whole thing is really elevated.
Anyway, I got a ticket for tomorrow as well and am actually shocked that the first time I'll be seeing her live is in such an intimate setting (I saw Tove Lo there last year). Gonna spend my time re-listening to her catalog 'till then. I've never not purchased an AKeys release, right through the Unplugged set, and hope the new material is inspired in a good way.

The element of freedom is her weakest album. Songs in a minor and The Diary are her best albums!

This album has been hyped by everyone and their momma. and the promo begins! Alicia Keys Is Back! Singer Performs New Song 'Hallelujah' and Announces Upcoming BET Awards Performance
This girl is on fire, again! Taking the stage at BET Network's Upfront on Wednesday night, Alicia Keys, 35, reminded the room that hers is a voice to be reckoned with. Keys took to the stage at Jazz at Lincoln Center in New York City, telling the crowd "I feel like I'm performing for my family in my living room." The singer opened the set with her cover of Prince's hit "How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore", paying homage to the ailing the singer. Then the "Fallin'" singer launched into a haunting, sweeping new ballad "Hallelujah" off of her upcoming project and the crowd erupted in cheers. The song debut comes on the heels of Keys announcing to fans she'd soon be back. "I've been dying to share some news with you for a while," she said during an Apr. 16 post on Snapchat. "I have new music to share with you and I'm gonna be performing in the next couple of weeks." On May 7, the singer will be taking her talents to Saturday Night Live. "That's right," she said on Snapchat. "I'll be performing my new music in my hometown city…on an iconic New York stage." She'll also be rocking the house at this year's BET Awards in Los Angeles this June, as the network announced Keys as the show's first performer. hairrrrrrrrrrr!!!! Btw do you all think we are getting the new album this summer??
