Alicia Keys is coming back!
Easily one of Pop’s more respected contributors, the piano-playing diva has finally unveiled the name of her forthcoming LP.
Want to know what it’s called?
Find out below…
Burning up the Twittersphere earlier on tonight, Mrs.Beatz announced:
I’m in the studio right now working away on my new album and I am SO excited!!! I’m ignited!!! I’m like a match to a flame! I’ve had the title of this album in my mind for a long time….It’s been hard to hold it back and now I’m not holding it back anymore! It is called Girl on Fire!!! And that’s exactly how I feel!!! You’ll be learning more about it soon… but let me just say before making this record, in some ways I felt like a lion locked in a cage…I felt like a girl misunderstood that no one really knew, I felt like it was time to stop making excuses for any part of my life that I wanted to change. Once I made that choice I became a Girl on Fire, the lion broke free!!
During the recording process, I mostly stayed in NY but on some cool and memorable occasions, I traveled to different places, and worked with many collaborators, (some old friends, some new). I discovered so many beautiful sounds, and meanings and a lot about the power of a song. I can’t wait to share this album with you. I promise when you hear it, it’s a new me, I gave it my all: powerful, soulful, honesty and heart… With Girl on Fire, I want to move you and surprise you.
Girl on Fire is about new beginnings, new perspectives and fresh starts… stripping away all the bad energy in your life and taking full control of the reigns and how you want to live. There is something really empowering about finding yourself and your own inner strength. On one song, One of the lines I wrote says, “I’ll never be perfect, but at least now I’m brave!”
Here’s to finding your power! Your FIRE!! Stay tuned for more.
In the meantime, thank you for all your love, strength and support.
-Alicia
A Girl On Fire!!!!
Here’s to Alicia delivering an adult contemporary piece strong enough to dominate the ’200′- in the vein of its acclaimed predecessors.
Reason being?
With her following just as strong as it was upon her debut and R&B in desperate need of a popularity boost, who better than Keys to take a sound akin to ‘Unthinkable’ to to the top.

BEOYONCE PRINCESS OF WHAT? Let me know when she stops copying other artists work and using it as her own. Sweetly, while Beyonce is the best performer her music is usually shitty recycled up tempo tracks. The element of freedom is nearing 2x platinum status while 4 collects dust on and off the charts. AK is an original artist with longevity that writes,produces and sings her own music. Beyonce is a mere industry puppet honey. Try again next time

I totally agree with you, except she was never really gone. She’s just been working hard and I am looking so forward to hearing her new music. BTW, that picture is gorgeous and anyone who doesn’t think so or chooses to make idiotic comments about her is just way too jealous. I loved TEOF and I’m hoping this album will be even better, if that’s possible, than all her others. Fingers crossed, that there is not much rapping, but with Alicia, I know it’s going to be great. anyway. Yes the princess of soul and R&B is here to stay. As for the Bey fans, I don’t know why you feel the need to jump on every AK post to brag about your fave.

Album sales have fallen to a new low after Rihanna topped the UK chart with a weekly sale of fewer than 10,000 copies RIHANNA MADE HISTORY HAS THE WORST UK ALBUM SALE
Talk That Talk, released last year, returned to the number one slot with sales of 9,578 CDs and downloads.
It is the lowest weekly sales recorded since records began in 1994. The previous record low was the 11,981 set by The Cranberries’ Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? 947 weeks ago.
The Olympics was cited as contributory factor to low sales. But it is part of a trend with album sales falling quickly, down 13.8% in the first half of 2012.
The record industry hopes that Sunday night’s Olympic Games Closing Ceremony, now an iTunes album, will ne a big seller. This Autumn artists such as Robbie Williams, The Killers and Mumford & Sons, might make up for some of this year’s lost sales.

ALICIA CAN NEVER SEE BEYONCE IN THE BEAUTY DEPARTMENT, NOT WITH HER ACNE RIDDEN FACE. BEYONCE WAS BLESSED WITH GREAT SKIN, BEAUTY AND A FLAWLESS FACIAL BONE STRUCTURE. THERE’S A REASON WHY BEYONCE MAKES IT ON ALL THE TOP BEAUTY/SEXY LISTS AND NOT ALICIA HOMEWRECKER!

Who cares what lists Beyonce makes it on. This is an AK post and if you’re that into Beyonce then what are you doing here? Go enjoy YOUR queen and stop dissing on Alicia. It’s really a dumb thing to do. There is no reason for you to be so nasty towards AK. I think Alicia is not only one of the most beautiful women in the world but also one of the most talented and caring. She has been blessed with plenty and I hope that continues. For you to bring up such stupid criticisms of her, just shows what kind of low down and pathetic person you are.

Beyonce stans are really sick and they are the reason she has lost a lot of fans.
YOu don’t see any other fanbase behaving the classless way that they do.
Beyonce needs to “pen” an open letter to them and ask that they stop insulting other people in her name, that is unless she cosigns the madness and many think she does, many even speculate that these ‘stans’ are her camp itself and I tend to believe it as again, no other fan base behaves this way, so what is the difference….family members behind the keyboard ,
