New Song: Alicia Keys- ‘Type Writer’

Published: Tuesday 21st Jun 2011 by David

Alicia Keys has generated more excitement for the re-release of debut album ‘Songs In A Minor‘ with the surfacing of the song ‘Type Writer’.

Recorded long before she was harmonizing with female convicts in ‘Fallin’ and declaring her power in ‘A Woman’s Worth‘, ‘Type Writer’ was written  back in 1997 in the humility of her Harlem apartment.

Get familiar with the new song below…

    <3 Alicia but this song is just okay to me….maybe it'll have to grow on me *shrugs*

    Every song she’s ever made sounds the same to me. When I listen to them, I fee like i’m listening to one longgggggggggggg album.

  5. seriously June 21, 2011

    I absolutely love Alicia Keys!!! But this song should’ve stayed unreleased.

  7. BC June 21, 2011

    Songs in “A” Minor. . . . .I guess the A must stand for adulteress.

    I have never understood the hype over Alicia. Her songs are dry as f*** with the exception of a few stellar songs and her voice is cute on CD but she just strains and screeches when she’s singing live. Oh and I don’t like this song. In conclusion, I’m not here for her.

    I haven’t felt Alicia since the Diary. This song is ok though.

    @your queen well let’s say you are missing something it’s probably not on your level, we’re talking serious music here. So please I really don’t mind make your way out of here to probably spears or whoever else…

    Very nice song. I like it.

  13. DUNKFAN June 21, 2011

    I would love to see a duet between Alicia and Lady gaga.

  14. aisha June 21, 2011

    i like. can’t wait for the album.

  15. ChrisSY June 21, 2011

    The song is DOPE! I love it. I can’t believe that it was written and recorded by Alicia when she was ONLY 17 years old. Very talented sister.

  16. Ally June 21, 2011

    she was 17 not bad for a t***….but its going nowhere slowly…maybe itl grow on me but I like it cause its her she aint tryna be somebody..thanks uhhm Mrs Beats(lol)

    @LAURIE

    Shut the f*** up, patronising b****. I’m not here for Alicia and you deal with my opinion. And if by “serious music” you mean coma inducing then I’m glad I’m missing out. Now take several seats.

  18. rara rara rara June 21, 2011

    @dunkfan
    A duet btwn akeys and gaga damn that will be so sick
    There will be immense talent at one time wow that will be dope plus I love akeys and her talents and gaga is also on her lane

  19. demi June 21, 2011

    its a nice song.

  20. SHESDUMB THE OFFICIAL SLAYER OF S***. June 21, 2011

    SONG IS BORING, THE INSTRUMENTAL HAS POTENTIAL IF GIVEN TO THE RIGHT PERSON WITHOUT ALICIA’S VOCALS ON IT.

    AND YES THIS SONG SOUNDS FAMILIAR TO WHAT ALICIA HAS ALREADY DONE, MELODY WISE.

  21. mobwife…..baa this goat fur is hot in the summer June 21, 2011

    It sounds like a song from that era. Badu, Alicia, Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill etc were on fire back in the day!!! Still love them though! 🙂

    THIS IS NICE!! I just might have to pic this CD up!

    LMAOOOOO @Your Queen

  23. Lisa June 22, 2011

    @yourqueen we understand that hoodrats are limited to smut and crap, your language says a great deal about you and your taste so we understand your lack of taste. Crawl back in your hole with your limited understanding of real music, AK is here for the long run.

    Boring. I actually like Alicia, but @YourQueen’s comment isn’t that far off-base. She does get waaaay more credit than she deserves. No doubt a technically talented musician, but artistically she’s way more miss than hit.

    That being said though, if you say that you’re not here for someone, you usually don’t comment on a post about them.

  25. CrackCoke June 22, 2011

    Obviously a talented woman but yes, seriously over-hyped.
    A couple of singles are flawless but I can never get thru a whole album of hers becuase all of it sounds the same and by the numbers.
    She should be more ambitious with her craft.
    And must she have a damn Piano in very f*cking video, jfc.

  26. Sarah June 22, 2011

    I guess it’s the same with me. I think all of Beyonce’s and Rihanna’s music is seriously boring. No emotion and seriously over hyped. I like Alicia because she adds many different elements to her music. It’s not just some demo sang in the studio. Typewriter is amazing and she wrote and recorded this at age 17. By the way, how does Fallin, No One, and try Sleeping With a Broken Heart sound the same? She’s the best IMO
