I mean.............. I guess they're different versions, but, I could have taken either one or the other. They're not that drastically different, which is what I was expecting.

I like the vibe of the cover but at first thought her midriff was her arm and was wondering how she got in that position...

This is very Sade. It's a mood.

Didn't know that but was expecting to hear "this is no ordinary love" at any moment.

The entire band is credited because it samples "Cherish The Day".

It shows how underrated "Cherish The Day" is if people can't recognize the song immediately. The album cover is gorgeous and probably my favorite cover from her. I think it could be more to the cover when you have the CD in hand. It gets Prince feel when I see it.

That song is not IT. One of the worst Alicia singles ever.

Love the album cover, her cover arts for the past few albums have been on point.

It sounds like we are getting love songs throughout this album. I'm excited. I definitely noticed the difference between the original and unlocked of Best of Me. The song is stuck in my head. Several lines I find singing out loud.

I haven't been this excited for a AK record since GoF. I cannot wait for this.

Just in time for the holidays, Apple Music has teamed up with Alicia Keys to gift you an exclusive EP. This collection of lullabies in Spatial Audio—which includes “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “Best of Me” and features the singer’s son—is perfect for quiet time with the little ones as the season offers an opportunity to bring us closer together. music.apple.com/us/album/alicia-keys-sweet-dreams-ep/1597201574

I love this new version of Best of Me. I find myself randomly signing it.

The album is out in less than a week, track list hasn’t been released, I doubt there are physicals for this. Hopefully this isn’t DOA.

Supposedly there aren’t any physicals this go around, unfortunately. I’m not too worried about the track list even though I would like to know it. It is currently top 10 on pre-orders. Her features hopefully give her good streaming numbers.

It's admirable she continues to release music frequently. 3 albums in the past 5 years.
Peers like Xtina, Brandy, Usher, etc seemingly lost passion in making music once the mainstream success completely sailed and go on 5+ years just to make even 1 album now.
However it's a terrible choice to release during December. Sure as said mainstream success has completely sailed, but it would at least be smarter to have pushed this back to February and have the release coincide with a GRAMMYs performance + her SOTY nomination. At least she would go into it with some publicity and coverage.

I assumed this would be another case of physicals being delayed due to the vinyl backlog but also not surprised if they decided to save money by having a 26-track album available only in a digital format.
