With Alicia Keys‘ eyes fixed firmly on the November 27th release of her new album ‘Girl On Fire’, the singer is leaving no stone unturned in her promotional push for the project.
The aggressive jaunt has carried her to London town, where she rocked the iTunes Festival 2012 with a rousing set consisting of new and classic hits. Beautiful ballad ‘Brand New Me’ was one of the newer cuts the thousands in attendance were treated to.
Listen to her show-stopping performance after the jump…
Now that is more like it!
‘Girl On Fire’ didn’t pack heat enough to ignite our interest (or heat at all). Yet with ‘Brand New Me’, Ms. Keys taps into the emotional and musical ingredients that made ‘Songs In A Minor’ and ‘The Diary’ such delicious listens. What’s more, she sounds more at ease with the track’s vocal composition, which sees her deliver much of the song in her middle register (vs the upper register strains of ‘Fire’). Here’s hoping the album brings with it more of this flavoursome goodness.

Sounds like this song for her husband.
It’s nnot. If you listen to the lyrics carefully, it’s aimed at the HATERS.
Actually, that’s what I was thinking but also maybe ex fans who just don’t “get it”.
Love it! Great vocal performance. Alicia’s music has always been above par, lets be honest.
Wow this is beautiful….. So uplifting and mature…… Wow
I love this Alicia : True talent always wins
Alicia Keys!!!! Is the BEST!!!!
WOW!!! These lyrics are GREAT!!! .. Nice Melody and her voice sits very well in this song. I hope the recorded version does have to much production so we can really pay attention….
Watched her sing this at the itunes festival and it was even better to see her sing it live. It was very touching. Alicia sometimes talks about a song before she sings it and this one in particular seemed to mean a lot to her. I can see why. Beautiful voice and a very beautiful lady in every way. I feel like we’ve all been blessed just to hear her music. She is the best.
Yes, yes and yes! This is the Alicia Keys I fell in love with! Now I can’t wait for her album to come out! Pure talent!
finally pleased.
Good job A.Keys
I’m not hating….but is it just me or did she sound off-key???? I like the little run before she ended the song….but….hummmmmmmmmm…still did nothing for me! NEXT!
OMFG you AGAIN? Alicia Keys has you obsessed, for REAL.
Ain’t you tired, really? Ain’t you tired?
YESSSSSS
good song
“Girl on Fire” packed plenty of heat. I’m looking forward to the video because this song is not over yet. I’m hoping it really picks up after the video is released. “Brand New Me” is definitely my favorite and is more classic Alicia style but there is nothing wrong with a little change and “Girl on Fire” is powerful and hot.
