Smash Legend
Always wondered whatever happen to Alicia Keys. Nice to see she still has a musical career...I didn't like the song in the beginning because it's extremely different from the music I listen to. After I got used to it, I started to like it more. I loved the vocal melodies, they were very relaxing, and the guitar fits with it very well. I don't mind this time that there is no drum beat in the song, I think it would be worse if it had one. I enjoyed the instrumental ending a lot.
4.5/5
Brand New Me - Alicia Keys

I think some of her lines don't necessarily have a good transition/flow to them, but the lyrics for the most part are solid. I enjoy the piano melody in the background, but with my headphones on, I don't think the the bass beat goes well with the piano. When the drums and violin kick in towards the end, I just feel it's too radically different from the rest of the song. Don't get me wrong, I like the raw emotion and some songs can pull it off successfully. I just don't think Keys succeeds here.
She's talented, and I have listened to her music in the past. I just don't think this is one of her bests.
No way!
I'll pass...
It's alright...
I can stream it...
Give me the album! Now!
