NEW MUSIC FROM ALICIA KEYS

Thursday, October 25, 2007 |

(REMOVED)
Alicia Keys
- Like You’ll Never See Me Again

It took a long time for “No One” to grow on me, but I appreciate and love it now. But this song is beautiful to me, I really have a strong affinity for it. It’s probably the heavy Prince influence. “Like You’ll Never See Me Again,” to me, is different from anything that Alicia Keys has done. I feel like with As I Am, Alicia Keys is musically touching uncharted territory for her. It seems as though she’s experimenting with sounds that were untouched on Songs In A Minor and Diary. I can tell, even in live performances of some of the new material, that Alicia is trying some new things, which I’m happy about. As I Am hits stores November 13th, and “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” is rumored to to be the second single.
