I'm not going to get too excited because I can see her releasing another self-help bullsh!t "anthem" that I'll hate.

I'm worried she'll either release a cornball inspirational song or try to get ratchet. I just want a straightforward old school Alicia song.

Krucial confirmed they worked together for the album. I'm holding out hope!

What I don't want from Alicia if she is to continue making music:
1. Strained vocals 2. No One Pt. 500 3. We Are the World ass material 4. Anything that is an attempt at being an "anthem."
It'll be interesting to see how she's received when she returns. I haven't been wowed by anything of hers since the 3rd album. She's been painting by numbers ever since. I want her to stop taking herself so damn seriously, and separate her role as a humanitarian from her music. Give me another U Don't Know My Name.

I liked Girl on Fire but it is leagues behind any of her other albums. Element of Freedom is the only time she's gotten the feel-good songs right. I loved every song off that album except Put It In Brazil and Never Release The Video.

Her best album has to be The Diary. I hope she could bring that old-school funk n soul back. And it would be more appropriate considering her voice condition.

I'm still pressed "Love Is Blind" went unreleased. I'd love it if she released something like that as a first single with a trap beat.

If she gives me another Unthinkable level of material I'll be more than happy. I can still accept jams likr Karma or You Don't Know My Name.

It's been a LONG time since she's had a legitimate Urban smash. I don't even know I'd want from her at this point or what radio wants from her. Maybe a mid-tempo ballad along the lines of "Kiss It Better" or "Earned It" but definitely NOT with any self-help message pls.

When I saw her live a few days ago, there was only one new song that she played that didn't sound like it came out of 2002 and wasn't charged with Angeloucia-ness.
But that said, nothing she played sounded like it was written to be a single, so I think she didn't play whatever this is.

No, she did a secret show at Highline Ballroom right after that. She played mostly new songs, but never said what was called what.

The new single "In Common" has just been serviced. The song is quite different from her past works and her voice sounds much clearer than before (maybe because of the sound effect).

Out on iTunes.
I really like it. I applaud her for stepping outside of her usual box. On first listen I thought this was way too poppy for her core formats, but the more I hear it, the more it sounds like a Drake R&B track. I hope she's given a fair chance!

Glove Slap wasn't "In Common" the highlight from the show? With ease, and from the new tracks played the only one that sounded like something cut post-AIA at best. I too thought of Drake eventually after, Take Care in particular. This is easily my favorite single from her post Un-Thinkable, but I'm rather surprised that this is the lead single and not something more obviously friendly, but I'm not really complaining. It's not No One pt. whatever, so that's a victory in itself.
