New Music: Alicia Keys “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart” (CDQ)
Posted by Miss Info under life beyond rap , new music , things I love[41] Comments
My boy Russ from J Records was raving about the new Alicia Keys song on twitter today….so I asked him for a listen, lol. I remember when we were sitting together at Alicia’s show front n center at the Garden earlier this year (or was it late last year?)…wow, she blew me away. Singing, dancing, piano-ing, lol…
Alicia Keys “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart” (Produced by Jeff Bhasker, who worked on Kanye’s 808s album as well)
Love this song already.
UPDATE: now fully obsessed with this song. Like ‘09 Pat Benatar.

Very nice! This definitely should’ve been her 1st single. But you know this is going to lead to who’s “Sleeping With A Broken Heart” is better: Alicia’s or her good friend John Mayer’s.

Yeah gotta give mrs (coughs: beats) keys her props. She’s always had great vocal range but it seems as if she’s really been working on her voice. I guess a-keys just get better wit time. Her voice sounds stronger more soulful

instant classic. Thats how quality music should be made!
Its perfect for a major film too

Alicia has a great voice and as a result sounds good on anything. Nonetheless, it would be a slight bit of excessiveness to “rave” about this song. Its nice though.

Am I the only one who thinks Rihanna would have slayed this song, capitalizing on her drama @ this time?
A Keys inspired by John Mayor’s joint I see. Not bad – I will bump it in the whip..

Man when they played this yesterday on the DC station, first thing I did when I got in the house was find this song. The beat is a banger, her voice no doubt its off the chart. Instant classic for Alicia.
