New Song: Alicia Keys – ‘Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart’ (2nd Single)

‘Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart’, the 2nd single to be lifted from Alicia Keys’ fourth studio album ‘The Element of Freedom’ (due December 15th), premiered a few moments ago on US radio. Produced by Jeff Bhasker, the song is surprisingly new territory for Keys, with its Synth-meets thumping Hip-Hop production. Still, Keys manages to put her own stamp on it, which results in a winner of the track. After getting somewhat bored with Alicia’s ‘samey-ness’, this is awesomely refreshing. I’m actually checking for her ‘Element of Freedom’ now. Great track.

Hit or Miss?

    HOMEWRECKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I’m sure Mashonda slept with a broken heart the night she found out Alicia Keys came and WRECKED her HOME!!!

    Great beat and a departure from her usually type of sound. But honestly I am not a fan of this song either.

    much better than the first single

    YESSSS! Alicia should have made this the first single! I can hear it…I can hear it loud and clear…and it screams #1!!! Yes, this is better than the first single…BUT to secure that top spot and get that attention, they will need to GO HARD with promoting this song. I love it. I really do. This single has the fire and spice to compete with Chris Brown and to make an impression on everyone. Yes Alicia can give you what you expect but she can give you what you want as well. I certainly hope that the Element of Freedom shows more of this freedom…Thank you SAM for listening to my post yesterday, you’re awsome!!!!

    YEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!! my girl never disappoints. Totally new territory for her this is soo grimy and it amazes me how she constantly steps outside of her box when it comes to making a new album…this shoulda been the first single but i still love Doesn’t Mean Anything…but this THIS goes hard!!! def go #1 written all over it

  9. TT October 29, 2009

    ^^^^^^

    Erm, “Doesn’t Mean Anything” was trash. This, however, is the s***!!! #1

    This is the s***! I like DMA, but this is the top winner! I love the 90’s feel! Alicia is always perfecting her craft! People calling her a Homewreaking w****, will see she is the queen of the charts next months! If I can’t buy the album, I will download the f*** out of it on Limewire!

    Nov 23rd hurry the f*** up and get here!

    Miss Keys is the Queen!

    Not Bad…

    Her 1st song was a rather Bland Typical Alicia song. But Im Liking this 1…

  12. Charley Brown October 29, 2009

    Definite hit!! The first single was dope, and I’m diggin’ this track!! Alicia is gonna have yet another classic album on her hands. I’d love to see Alicia perform at the Apollo Theatre in Harlem. She is that once in a generation kind of singer.

    When I saw the title I was disgusted, but I LOVE this song. After the bland As I Am, this is refreshing to hear!

  17. KIKI October 30, 2009

    Great! I like this song better than the first one. Can’t wait to see the video. I saw the art cover for the song and Alicia looked good. Roll on Dec. 15!!!

  18. suzieblue October 31, 2009

    I love the track! So much better than DMA! It has this 80s feel to it, it sreams Prince!

    I know this is not the subject, but how did you put only the” time bar” of UTube (not the video) on your blog? Where do you find the url?
