Alicia Keys’ new music video premiered just moments ago. The clip was directed by Jake Nava and supports the song (which features background vocals from rapper Drake) that has thus far peaked at #44 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #5 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. Check it out below:

Yet another back in time video from Keys. Is it that she wishes that she were born in another era? Yes the issue of interracial dating was brilliantly woven into the production but it seems that Keys has done throwback videos like this several times before. On the other hand, it’s great to see a clip without the artist naked, oiled up and riding on a man’s crotch (see: Christina Aguilera’s ‘Not Myself Tonight’).

Thoughts?
