Rush It or Flush It: New Music from Alicia Keys

i'm liking it..nuff said

Like it alot!

Sounds classic but new. IT is very good look for her!

This is so fresh to me. I love to hear people who really sing with a real voice. Also can't wait until Keisha Cole drops the album.

Oh my... that's truly beautiful. Her vocals are better than ever . Rush it rush it rush it! Love it.

sounds like Lauryn Hill's left overs!

I'm not feelin it...it's just, not hot to me. I hope this is not officially the first single. This reminds me of somethin....I can't remember what. A song that's already been out....I'm FLUSHIN IT....

Rush It, this song is Hot!!!

This single reminds me of Keshia Coles vocals OOOh Looooove...kinda drawn out style. There is a distinction of Alicia's voice. Good song but sounds like Keshia Coles' steez.

yall like to call Beyonce overexposed.......jeezus if this chick drops an album we'll be hearing about it for the next 2 and a half years, 20 Grammy's, 5 music videos, a unplugged album, tour album.......pfft to me A-Keys is boring, this shit sounds like a mix of a Bob Marley's 'No woman no cry' and Madonna's 'like a prayer'......and why does she sing like she's crying ?? i guess it cool tho

Sorry, I'll flush it. She sounds like she has mouth full of peanut butter.

It starts out good, but it goes nowhere. Her voice sounds better tho. I wanna like it, but its real basic, which might work in her favor as far as the masses, but as for me-- not so much. It's definitely one of those songs that could work in a club type format where you dont really have to pay attention to the lyrics. she mailed it in on the lyrics tho.. The chorus sucks and the end really sucks-- uhuhuhahoooh? no

lmao@luke lefty.... i dont think alicia is overexposed BUT i get bored with her at times... i have both of her cd's and i just havent gotten into them, id rather listen to jilly or amel or ebadu.. dont get me wrong i think she is a great performer and i do love some of her songs but she just doesnt make me go wild lol... i still wanna hear this song tho to see if she has changed her style...

its good

I don't like it, but it might be more appreciated by people who are in a relationship. The slight suggestion of Reggae will make it a hit with the pop fans. I have to agree with Moonforge that she is sounding more like Keisha than herself.

Adrian,

We seem to have similar taste in divas. Have you heard Adriana Evans. Her CD came out several years ago and she didn't take off, but I think the whole CD is fire.

^^^I'm in a relationship and I ain't feelin it....

I feel it...It kind of gives me "Where is the Love" Black Eye Peas, but its still cool. It's not a hit. It's an album joint, but she is really growing vocally. I still like the other leaked song "Sweet Music" better though.

I am glad that A-Keys is not a "performer" in the Janet sense. I like the fact that she can put on a good show and just sing.

I like that song "SuperWoman" better.
But I will take this!

WTF!! Are you serious.. How can you not feel this.. This is at the edge of innovation here.. This feels like Sade 2007.. Creativity for sure.. She just expanded her fanbase with this track..

THIS IS FIRE

Superfire says...
"This is at the edge of innovation here"

Oh really?
Personally I think
Outkast/Andre 3000 is the edge of innovation.
Janelle Monae is at the edge of innovation
Van Hunt is at the edge of innovation
Gnarls Barkley is at the edge of innovation.
Kelis is at the edge of innovation
Meshell Ndegeocello is at the edge of innovation.
same deal with Amel, E. Badu, and J. Scott.

Alicia Keys (at least with this joint..ehhh...not so much). This kinda sounds like she took her song "Falling" and smashed it into some old Bob Marley-esque type of song.

This song's ok. Her voice sounds a bit strained. Maybe I had my hopes up too high. The way she was describing it on TRL, I was expecting to have my mind blown...but I can barely feel the wind.

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big A. Keys fan...and I'll definitely get the album when it comes out...I just hope that there's better to come.

@Bird,
I dig Adriana Evans too. That song "In The Sun" is my jam to this day.

i think this songs is greta it fells like the type of song u can play at weddings not just a ghetto wedding!!...now what song on the radio in the past year could u play at weddings and etc?!?!

I'm sorry, but this song is straight GARBAGE!! I love Alicia, but this song has got to go. If this is any indication of how her album will sound, then i will not be purchasing. FLUSH this shit down the toilet twice!!

Couldn't really get into it. I was expecting a little more from Alicia but hey maybe it's just me. She does sound a bit strained though. When we already know she can sing past those notes. side note she does look good in the pic

After much searching and research, I found a friend of Keema's (SOHH Streetz) willing to fork over a picture because Streetz talks down on Alicia Keys, Beyonce, everyone. Well everyone should be talking down on her hideous hide! CLICK MY NAME FOR THE TRUTH! STREETZ YOU UGLY!

You're welcome!

Alicia Keys is back....No One...and that what im talkin about can't wait to hear that whole album..1

i'm sorry this is nonsense

why does it sound like she struggling to sing the notes?

Haters, you are dismissed! Alicia this is beautiful. Im in love with this track. Thank you for saving us from the foolishness they call music now.

FLUSH IT. I can't figure for the life of me why A. Keys didn't come with something harder than this. A very unmixed sound. She sings constrained and husky; not her strengths. Where is the "You Don't Know My Name"-type single? Alicia sounds best when she sings over breezy tracks..."No One" is pretty flat. If this is the first single, I think she's got a FLOP on her hands.

i like it actually the lyrics r nice i doubt tht this is the final version bcuz it sounds kinda weird at times and probably wont b a single bcuz tht other song "superwoman" is much better i woulda preferred to hear tht one bu alicia knows what she's doing this might(from what has leaked) b her definin album she just seems to get better with each album and if i dont buy another album this year hers will b one tht i def. get

This is the best vocal song she ever put out. how can you say this is boring. or is it that yll just want her to sing about her freakem dress or how she can shake her stuff in a video. the only people that said this was boring or was not feeling this has no class and has no taste in real feel good music. oh yeah she is ten times better than beyonce and sales more cds and also can produce, act, play piano, write as well as sing. so stop hating and cop that album November

Man....AK is fine as all hell, but man her music sometimes just escapes me! It's like she is waaayyy ahead of her time or just on some other level ish. It seems like her last hit was "Unbreakable" (notice i said last hit, not last single) and the rest of her songs are just a mess. I love you alicia but the music is just something i can't seem to get into.

This is going to be #1 cuz all the haters are coming out. Banger! This is so totally different from all her other ballads. I love how she is taking a risk. To grow as an artist you have to take risk in trying new things. Some of her critics are just dead set on how she needs to stick to soulful sanging when it comes to RnB. Does it not get boring afterwhile of hearing the same thing everyday?
I don't know about you but this song is raw like her voice was meant to be. Have an open mind for peetsake and stop expecting her to sing songs that are love sappy and heartbroken! Alicia I GENUINELY LOVE IT! KEEP DOIN YOU!

I like the song Alicia did her thing on it. I guess people aint feeling it cause it does not sound like all the other pop garbage that's out right now, plus i dont even think that this is the masterd version.

Its a hit.....Its a hot one.....

Love it!

I am very anxious for new material from Alicia Keyes! I am a true fan! However, this recording is not going her justice! Although they are beautiful lyrics, the chorus does not fit the melody! Her voice sounds a bit taken from Sade, Lauryn Hill, and Gladys Knight, but it does not work! Her vocal range is better with a slower tempo. Fallen, diary, Don't Know My Name is the perfect tempo for her voice, which is beautiful! As you can tell, I study music!!

LAURYN HILL RIP OFF OR LEFT OVER

I'm loving it....Gosh, I'm a big fan and with her newest single, I'm loving her more. I'm always jamming to it, listening to it all day at work. Its one of them songs that I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing after playing it for how long. Love it and am looking foward to the album...She's amazing and by the way, great performance at the VMA's....Bravo

I am not sure what to make of this song, her lyrics are still immature and not intellectual, i saw on some blog she has been named one of the most overrated female artist of her generation. I love Alicia but i would rather have Lauryn Hill anyday crackhead or not. Still to date no one beats Lauryn Hill lyrically.

Alicia is back and i admire her for trying out new things but i just realise everyday that no one can feel the gap that Lauryn Hill has left in the industry. All the best for Alicia but i miss Lauryn Hill dearly

this track is the lamest thing i've heard in a long time. done by a guy with one bad synth and a drum machine from 1992. it's embarrasing for Alicia, she's clearly desparate to appeal to teens....

Not a great song, lyrically very immature and not deep. I have always known that Alicia is not original and she is overrated and this song proves it. She is trying too hard to be somebody else, it seems like she tried to copy Lauryn Hill's style but failed dismally. Vocally she sounds strained. This proves that she does not have strong vocal chords. On the video she looks more like Beyonce i mean the hair and the dress code. This woman is a fraud, i hope she has other better songs on her album.

FLUSH IT. Dumb lyrics combined with a piano accompaniment that sounds like a 6-year-old's finger exercises. The girl can sing pretty well, but this track is just lame. Overall, she's overrated and this song needs to be buried and forgotten.
