Alicia Keys babbles on about being a new person, now being married, having a baby, making a new album. So expect all of that to be included in her forthcoming album. Unfortunately she didn't confirm a release date or titles for the album or singles.
Alicia Keys will be back later this year with a new album, but in the meantime listen to this new buzz track 'New Day', which she uploaded to her SoundCloud account a couple of hours ago. The track is said to have been produced by her husband Swizz Beatz.
Alicia Keys tweeted the cover for her new single Girl On Fire, noting it will premiere soon. I'm really liking her new look, more so on the album than the single art.

What do you all think of her new single? It's quite similar to Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart (the drums) and Empire State of Mind, but a pretty strong comeback single.
Here's the Blue Light mix. It's more soulful, but I'm not a fan of her vocals on this version. http://aliciakeys/girl-on-fire-bluelight-version
Here's the stream from Alicia Keys' iTunes Festival performance from The Roundhouse, Camden. It's weird she opens with 'New Day' rather than her new single 'Girl On Fire'. She performed New Day on Alan Carr as well the other day, rather than the lead single from her album. I don't really like that track, but I guess she's hoping for some cross over when 50 Cent's version is released. 1. New Day 2. Karma 3. You Don't Know My Name 4. Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart 5. Unthinkable 6. A Woman's Worth 7. Unbreakable 8. Girl on Fire 9. I Need You 10. Brand New Me 11. Fallin' 12. Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down 13. No One Encore: 14. Not Even the King 15. If I Ain't Got You New Day - 50 Cent ft. Alicia Keys
I love her new songs! Anyone else think her new haircut makes her look like Whitney in the It's Not Right video?
