Alicia Keys‘ softly launched comeback track didn’t move the needed as intended. But that’s not stopped the singer from taking ‘In Common’ for another swing of the bat.
This time she receives assistance in the form Kanye West and Travis Scott.
The trio have unwrapped an official remix of the song, with the official premiere taking place moments ago on Scott’s newly launched Beats 1 radio show.
Can the collective breathe life into the criminally underrated number? Listen below and let us know…
Granted the new verses don’t add much, they conversely don’t take anything away. Re-affirming, in the process, how strong ‘In Common’ is on its own accord.
Hindsight can often be convenient, but one has to wonder whether it would have been best for Alicia to return with a collaborator from the onset. A Drake. A Kanye. A Kendrick. Someone who she’d be able to rub her heat together with to cause a chart fire. Because -as evidenced here – sometimes a good song just isn’t enough.

They weren’t needed m. Song is a bop without them and I don’t like how it sped up. Plus it’s time to move on to another single Alicia.
Poor alicia. While yet so talented gets so INTO herself that she has lost touch with her magical – voice/piano ballads. Diary is a masterpiece. If i aint go you is a masterpiece. Fallen is a masterpiece. Lessons Learned is a masterpiece. Butterflyz is a masterpiece. She has it in her, she just has to find it.
Omg!!!! Everything you said!!!!!! This are my jams…
‘Until she lets that lady’s man she won’t boom the charts ” that’s what i heard lool
lmao those are all my jams too, but she’s being creative, man.
let the biish live and try other things.
Wow, she’s really trying her hand at getting it to chart. Can’t blame her, though. It’s a shame the new era already started off on the wrong foot, truth be told.
Lol! I just knew this song wasn’t “it” when she first released it. But it’s OK. It’s just not her..
Homewreckcia Keys and KUNTye need to sit down and raise them kids. Don’t nobody from this generation checking for their old asses.
Isn’t Nicki’s PR team trying to figuring out how they can rebrand her after she stood by her brother who is a child ràpist and said he was telling the truth, only to find out he had done it multiple times and tried to open up several other daycare centers?
Gurl pay that trolling gaga Stan dust
For one, Ak is 35 and Icky is 33. So if Keys is old, then your flopping fave is as well. Second, I would tell Nicki to do the same, go raise her child, but she decided to abort it instead. Your fave is a baby killer. 🙂
Useless remix. The original version is dope!
She´s just a real artist. If her time of not being a commercial force has come then let be it. She´ll have her skills for music intact, unlike others who never had them to begin with. She has had a phenomenal run commercial success wise for an artist whose every single hit has been R&B anyway. Really big R&B hits which became global and damn great album sales. You know damn well nobody gets global hits staying 100% R&B.
She had a great run. I just don’t understand what went wrong. Alicia used to be at the top with Beyonce, now she’s almost on Brandy and Monica level. After Rihanna what other black female artist is going to be churning out #1 hits? I’m just curious because she pretty much all we got.
I repeat, Alicia has always been a pure R&B talented artist. Even with that in mind she has had bigger real sales than Rihanna, the talentless POP tart. Rihanna is not the best example of success, despite her constant gorgettable #1 hits in a hot 100 list that gets more laughable every year with the new rules which only reflect interest in visials and people half naked.
This wasn’t even needed, especially since at the moment, Kanye can barely get himself a hit single. She should just move on to the next single.
I like West, but NOT on my r&B songs. It’s just ok, like the OG version. It’s a boring song, but it’s just ONE song. I’ll still buy the album.
She just needs that universal hit song. This song is good. It should have taken off.
SHE SHOULD SCRAP AND MAKE LOVE BALLAD SINGLE PERHAPS FEAT ADELE OR K MICHELLE FOR WINTER, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE PERFECT TIME FOR TO SMASH. IF SHE WANTS TO CONTINUE THEN I THINK REMIXING YOUR SINGLE INTO A TRAP SONG AND SEND IT TO THE CLUBS IS THE BEST OPTION OF GETTING THIS GEN INTERESTED HER AGAIN
Wait this hasn’t even reached the Hot 100? I didn’t know it was that bad, it’s a great song and I hear it a lot. Deserves to smash much more than Girl On Fire.

It bugs me that this isn’t a hit while that crap Cold Water song was a hit as soon as it was released
People talking s*** about AK when she’s like 14 Grammys (or more) in. When will your fave ever? Don’t do it Nicki stan. I like Nicki, but some of her fans are delusional as hell.
Nice remix
