Alicia Keys films "Broken Heart"!

Billboard magazine went behind the scenes on Alicia Keys's new video for the second single, "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" off her upcoming album, "The Element of Freedom". Peep the clip below and let me know what you think!

The concept of the video sounds pretty interesting. In related news, "Doesn't Mean Anything" has really failed to make an impact on the charts currently peaking at #60 on the Billboard Hot 100. Regardless of the commercial success of the album, I'll definitely be getting my copy of "Freedom" when it hits stores, will you?

The very talented Alicia Keys recently performed at New York University. Peep the performances below and let me know what you think!

The Element of Freedom pushed back!

Alicia Key's forthcoming album, "The Element of Freedom" has been pushed back to 15 December. The album was originally due 1 December but as a result of a lack of hype surrounding the lead single, "Doesn't Mean Anything", they have opted to move the release back two weeks.

I think that they'll be quick to release the second single, "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" to see if that has a better chart performance. In related news, the album will now go up against Mary J. Blige's "Stronger". The chart battle for that week will be interesting to say the least!

Alicia Keys: Doesn't Mean Anything Video!

The video for the lead single, "Doesn't Mean Anything" off Alicia Keys's upcoming fourth studio album, "The Element of Freedom" has premiered. The video was directed by P.R. Brown who also directed the clip for the James Bond theme song, "Another Way To Die" which featured White Strips guitarist and lead vocalist Jack White. Peep the video below and let me know what you think!

I'm liking this clip, it's simple yet effective. In related news the song currently sits at #61 on the Billboard Hot 100, so unless she sees a big jump soon I wouldn't hesitate in saying that this single won't do as well as "No One" did. I have no doubt that this album will still be a big one for Keys after hearing the proposed second single, "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart".

Alicia Keys - The Element of Freedom

It has now been confirmed that Alicia Keys will drop her 4th studio album, "The Element of Freedom" on 1 December. The album is preceded by the first single, "Doesn't Mean Anything" which impacted mainstream radio on 29 September. A second single, "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" has already been confirmed and will presumably be released before the album arrives in stores.

This should be another solid release from one of the most undeniably talented individuals in the industry. I'm hoping the second single is something spectacular, because to be honest I'm really not feeling "Anything". What do you think?

Alicia Keys Update!

After the release of "Doesn't Mean Anything", RnB superstar Alicia Keys stopped by 106 & Park to talk about the upcoming album. Keys announced that the album will be released in December and a second single, "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart" (produced by Jeff Bhasker - see Kanye West's 808's & Heartbreak) has already been chosen.

I'm sure this album will be awesome, Alicia never disappoints!

Peep the official cover for Alicia Keys's new single, "Doesn't Mean Anything" below. While the song is still growing on me, the single cover is nothing great. I'm still looking forward to hearing what she will be offering this time around.

New Alicia Keys Music!

Listen to the brand new Alicia Keys single, "Doesn't Mean Anything" here! The song is said to be the first single from an upcoming untitled fourth studio album. While not straying too far from her previous hit, "No One", "Anything" features production from Krucial Keys and great trademark vocals from Keys.

I am however a little on the fence with this one, I'm not 100% sure that this will be as big as "No One" as I feel it doesn't have the same appeal factor that "No One" had. Anyway, I guess time will tell. What do you think of the track?

Alicia Keys Snippet!

A snippet of the lead single off Alicia Key's upcoming album has hit the net. The single, titled "Doesn't Mean Anything" will drop 29 September and precedes her as yet untitled fourth studio album. Listen to the snippet below and let me know what you think.

The song sounds good, I'm just not sure it's #1 material. I'll reserve my final judgement until I've heard the entire track, but knowing Alicia I don't think we'll get a flop here.
