HOT OR NOT: ALICIA KEYS - “NO ONE”

Tuesday, August 28, 2007

Alicia Keys - No One

Alicia Keys is finally back on the music scene with her new single, “No One.” Some of you may have heard the snippet earlier this week, but here is the full version. I want to give a big thanx to Natacha over at alicia-zone.net for providing us with the song. Make sure you check out her site.

In related news, Alicia went on TRL last week and said this about the song:

“The single is called ‘No One” and I’m LOVING IT!!! I hope it’s a bit unexpected and something that completely surrounds you, engulfs you and sweeps you away. I hope it makes you feel good and strong and passionate and makes you scream the words at the top of your lungs.”

Her 3rd studio album, As I Am will be in stores on November 13th and let’s just say after hearing this song, I am very excited! What’s your take, Hot or Not?

She can not be stopped. Every time she drops, she’s always droppin a hot single. I’m defintely loving the vibe on this track.

I’m sorry, but this song is a big ol’ bag of hot GARBAGE!! I really hope some of you people are not praising this mess of a song just because you like Alicia. I absolutely LOVE Alicia, but if this is any clue of how her album will sound, then I can honestly say i will NOT be buying that crap. I can “smell” another B-Day coming lol.

What is happening to her voice? She sounds like its going out on her or going through some weird change. Is she smoking a lot? Once again we have an ok song written over a very simple piano track then add a beat and some arrangemenst to it. This style is getting redundant with her. She can expand and experiment and do much better work. She’s a very talented young lady and I will continue to buy and support her music, but I’m disapointed with this effort. Hopefully the album is better. This doesnt sound very good I’m sorry. Its weak. I wont say its terrible, but its not very good. I’m sorry, I would have to say NOT on this one.

@ # 232, talking about lets see Beyonce release this, she wouldn’t release this garbage. And if I’m not mistaken on all her singles from B-day she was blowing and didn’t sound like her voice was giving out on her. I’m sorry but this song is not hot, I heard it on the radio this morning and I still wasn’t impressed. I know everyone is up in Alicia’s ass but keep it real this song is not a comeback single, it’s wack, not catchy and her vocals sound horrible, I was never blown away with her as a vocalist as much as her as a artist and this proves it.

y’all are dumb.. Alicia ALWAYS sings with that lil crack and strain since FALLIN.. These notes are not too high for her, her delivery is just different. Its a hot song!! Plus y’all was sayin the same thing when Beyonce came out with “B’Day” but now folks can’t stop ridin the ho clit! I like Beyonce and Alicia, but ppl can’t do the same thing all the time! I DO like Alicia’s “different” better than Beyonce’s tho..

238.

KSH

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

Before “Fallin” was a monster hit - peeps said some of the same stuff about the song “her voice sounds hoarse” - “she’s straining” - “this won’t be a good single”

BLAH BLAH - You can never listen to conventional wisdom - sometimes the shit that is said is pure garbage!

Why somebody gotta be a dumb bitch, loser, f-ing stupid, a hater or some other classy term just because they’re not feeling the song? I thought only B’s stans acted like that. lol

I’m feeling the song…her voice definitely sounds different and may sound a lil strained, but I’m wondering if she did that on purpose for the way the song should sound…I’m sure everyone will be singing it like that soon enough.

247.

MEE

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

Ok, I don’t know what’s different or unique about this song. Sounds like typical A. Keys to me not much different from anything else she’s ever done, but I guess it’s a more classic R n B sound than what’s out there now. As far as the song it’s not terrible but it’s not good either no comparison to her other lead single YDKMN and Fallin. Those are classics this is an album filler sorry Alicia but I know you got something better than this on that album that could be used for a first single. I suggest you go with something else people are really pick these days and I’d hate for your album to not do as well as it possibly could because you picked a weak lead single. Anyways I’m still getting your album the first day it drops. Love Ya

oh my gosh!!!!!!!!!
i love it and i mean love it, love her!
she’s flawless and an amazing artist…….
i’m so glad she’s back and hopefully she can erase a certain clumsy artist of the face of the earth for a few, actually for a minute.

I’m kind of liking it, but I think the song would be so much better with a different voice singing it. Alicia got some pips but her voice just doesn’t fit with the song. Lauren Hill would do it more justice.

I mean Alicia Keys as always been my favorite artist and she never seems to let me done. This song is hot and I love it to death!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s a very beautiful…She just need to re-record it with smoother vocals. This is the jam right there!

255.

CLEARMINDED

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

I’ve commented already, but another thought came to mind. People want to diss artists that don’t take 3+ years to come out with new material, but if this is the best Alicia can do after her hiatus, then what’s the point?

This joint sounds like it was done with no more than half an hour of thought. There’s nothing lyrically or musically great about this track to indicate that it needed to incubate for years. Sounds like a grade-schooler with a Casio.

Very mediocre.

I love this song!!! I heard it for the first time on 8/28/07 on 93.1 WZAK in Cleveland. The words, passion and funky rasta beats just turns me on totally. Makes me think of the man I love so very much!!! Thanks Alicia….you did it again!!!

IT HAS A REGGAE VIBE TO ME. REMINDS ME OF A BOB MARLEY TRACK. I LIKE IT, BUT NOT BASED ON HOW SHE WAS HYPING IT UP…NOT HER BEST WORK, I HAVE HEARD BETTER FROM ALICIA…..
SO I WILL GIVE IT A 8, VOCALS ARE KINDA ALL OVER THE PLACE TOO.

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

I don’t know y’all…that song had feeling. It’s not the best song but it’s hot because it was emotionally strong and the way the song it all hard and everything. I like it. I will scream that song around the crib while cleaning or something. I like a good sing along!

265.

Wednesday, August 29, 2007 /

I’m sorry but Alicia sounds awful on this song. Say what u want about Beyonce but ppl love and support her no matter what she puts out b/c she has a strong fanbase. If this is the best Alicia can do then she should just stay on vacation b/c this song is wack and ppl expect more on a comeback song.. Beyonce wouldn’t put out no garbage like this. Try again Alicia!

266.

Miss Dukes

I LOVE IT!!!!
I heard the snippet and didn’t think I would but I listened to the song twice and it’s different. This is defenitely a song about a strong love that a woman feels for her man. It’s like no matter what she’s saying I’m sticking with you. I likes it. Can’t wait for the album because like some others have stated I’m tired of hearing these so called RnB starlets working with the same producers who all have the same sound. Creativity goes a long way. Thanks Keys for keepin’ it real… Music is supposed to be about passion and you’re suppose to hear the love in the artist voice if they are really passionate about what they do.. If you listen today it’s all about the beats but what happened to love and the passion in the voice that black music originally had. I’m just asking.

I don’t know what it is. Every year there is that one song that impacts you and makes you feel some sort of way. That song that overcomes you and you become infactuated with it, as if it were your lover. This song does it for me. I love Alicia Keys. What I love most about her is the way she is a chameleon. She blends into to a new sound effortlessly. Each album with her is a huge step for her, because they sound so different. I was eagerly anticipating for her next album and after hearing this song I’m begging for more. Good work A.Keys. IM LOVING IT!

I like it. It reminds me of something old school, kind of reggae but almost a boy george simply red eighties era feel too. It’s a banger. She’s definitly consistent.

This is so low budget and the vocals don’t sound right,they are emotional but they’re too orgasmic they need more contrast.It sounds like a demo version,i hope it is,cuz the rhythm of the beat doesn’t fit right with the vocals at all.I see she kinda got inspired by Bob Marley,I respect that,it sounds new to this bullshit music industry right now,and the lyrics are beautiful,this song is like an anthem and its very powerful,but it needs a lot of work.

I agree with people who don’t like it as much as with people who like it.This song just has GREAT potential,but what is done to it is so amateur-like.I know,cuz Im a singer myself.

I love the song….but I understand where some of you all are coming from when you say it sounds “strained”. Check this vid out of a very talented chic singing this song!!…Especially those people that think this isn’t working too much for them.

Hot - this is the future, raw emotion, it gives listeners two things. One the sense that they are getting the real A. Keys, and two the illusion that they can do what she does. Yeah she can sing better but that raw sound invites fans to sing along. In a couple months everyone who says they don’t like this song will have been caught head bobbin multiple times.

I LOVE this song. Those who don’t have any music experience or any sense of originality may not agree with me but I think this song is Hot! As for the raspiness and what you all may call “straining her voice” it sounds like she lost her voice but it tells a story. Her voice, the lyrics of the song, the melody and harmony in the song all tell this one story about how she feels about this guy. If ya’ll actually listen ya’ll will see that this song is HOT!! She’s telling you how much she really loves this person and all her emotions and feelings are coming out as she sings it, which is what a music ARTIST does. This voice that you guys think is straining actually goes with the song and what it indicates to its audience (us). But only those who know real music will know that. All of you guys are brainwashed by the B.S. ya’ll hear on the radio and ya’ll don’t pay attention to the ones who are REAL, the ones who are sending you a message with their song. Then again, a lot of ya’ll who don’t like it may very well be too young to understand what music really is and ya’ll don’t know that there are a lot of ways that diffrentiating sounds can make music sound and become more realistic.
