This has a very different feel for an Alicia tune...this would do well on the Urban charts

This is one of my favorites from the album. I love the vibe and the chords.

I agree. It's very similar to another singer, Goapele. Is this the track Drake is featured in? I heard he did the background vocals.

I think this will be a single.

This would've made a fantastic second single following "This Bed" as the lead-off choice. They really messed up the singles for her this time around.

Yes! I also thought This Bed should have been the lead single.

This is the tentative fourth single.

This is reallllly good. I've finally just listened to her album for the first time, and this is either my first or second favorite.

This is definitely going to be her next single.

Her singles may be flopping but her album is selling consistently in the Top 10:
7) Alicia Keys - The Elements of Freedom - 39,000 / 1,078,000
So this may have a chance at being a hit. It should've been the second single tho.

This will be big at Urban radio. She will not have a crossover hit this era though.
The only thing is this will be coming out late Spring/early summer. This does not have that type of sound to it. It's a Fall/Winter song.

If it's rainy all this summer, I think that could change the tone of this single. I love this, I hope she has a really GOOD video for this.

This song is already a fan favorite and radio spins this now. This will be a hit.

I hear this on Power 105 in light rotation. It almost seems like they're waiting for the order to play it in power.
It sounds so good on the radio. I know "TSWABH" is Top 5 right now, but this should go for adds in two weeks. They need something on the radio to sustain the momentum of this album. The way it's selling, I think Urban radio will respond and make this the biggest hit of the era at that format.

This could work as a March/April/May single...

This puts the past few R&B #1's to shame, including Robin Thicke, Melanie Fiona, and Trey Songz. And I like most of those! This better finally get the support from radio that a song from one of the top selling current albums deserves.

This is of a much higher quality than any song that's peaked at #1 on Billboard R&B so far in 2010. So this better get there. I'll be pissed if some Trey Songz sh*t prevents that.
