wow i cant wait!
I love this time of year, usually every 2 years when all the big artists are due new albums before Xmas. Mariah, Whitney, Leona, Alicia Keys, Nelly Furtado, R. Kelly, Jay-Z all out or coming soon...good stuff. |

Well Alicia usually releases on every 3 years so I was really suprised she premiered a single this year. But oh, it's nice to have her back. She usually lets me down in terms of album quality so I won't be in a rush to buy her album but i will check it out when songs begin to leak.

I'll be getting it I love Alicia's voice.
I just love 'You don't know my name' right now, an oldie I know but I heard it once for the first time in ages on my ipod a couple of weeks ago and I keep going back to it now. Such a gorgeous song. |

I bought this for my sister as her christmas present. I wouldn't say I'm her biggest fan, don't own any of her albums or anything but do like some of the singles she's released. I thought I'd give this a listen before I bought it and I was to suprised how many songs I liked from it. The stand outs for me are..
Doesn't Mean Anything Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart Wait Till you See My Smile Thats How Strong My Love Is Love Us My disease Put It In A Love Song (Ft Beyonce) Empire State Of Mind (Part II) Broken Down She's impressed me wirth her live performances recently to. I think this album should have charted higher than it did. Really impressed by it. |

Although I thought Alicia would be famous mainly for Falling, I think Doesn't Mean Anything is the nicest single she's released. It was even my favourite contemporary song in the top 40 at Christmas!

I really like the album, it has more good songs on it than the usual Alicia Keys album imo.
Doesn't Mean Anything is great, even if it is really similar to If I Ain't Got You. |

I really like all the songs on this album! It's amazing.
It'd be much better if that Beyoncé song was kicked off though. YES WE GET THE MESSAGE BEYONCÉ, YOU LIKE SINGING ABOUT PHONES!!!!! I removed that song from my itunes anyway, so its a great album now

This album is such a grower, on first listen it was okay but now I listen to it nearly every day without skipping a single track. My favourites are...
Doesn't Mean Anything Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart (one of the best songs she has ever recorded!) Wait Til You See My Smile (gives me shivers, sooooo beautiful) Put It In A Love Song (feat. Beyonce) Empire State of Mind (Part II) |

I love try sleeping with a broken heart, soooooooooo good and a bit out of her comfort zone. I play it over and over. Also Empire State of Mind II is one of my absolute faves. Adore the JayZ 1st song, and this is a great addition to it.

Glad to see some lovers of Try sleeping. No wonder it's done better than Doesn't mean anything in the US.

I really disliked Doesn't Mean Anything but I love Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart. It just sounds so fresh and reminds you that spring is around the corner

I'm surprised they have chosen ESOM 2 as the next single seeing as the other one is still in the charts and will be for a few more weeks. Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart is the most obvious single choice, could have been huge.

'Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down' is a brillaint song much better than Jay-Z's version. 'Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart' was the second single everywhere else, are we not getting it?
I havn't got the album because I didn't like the sound of it from the previews but I love Alicia's voice. |
