Alicia Keys continues her comeback campaign with the release of ‘Underdog’ – the video for which arrived moments ago.
Directed by Wendy Morgan, the visual is lifted from the star’s seventh studio album ‘A.L.I.C.I.A’ and follows lead offering ‘Show Me Love’ and promo cut ‘Time Machine.’
Speaking on the track, the 15-time GRAMMY winner said:
“Some people may think of the word underdog as a negative word but I see it as a powerful word representing people who may be underestimated and yet still rise to the challenge and exceed expectations. I love this song so much because it’s about real life and real people and our experiences. We’ve all been in a place in our lives where we’ve had to defy the odds. It’s never easy. One of my favorite lyrics in the song is, ‘They say I would never make it but I was built to break the mold.’ I don’t think there’s a person on the planet that hasn’t felt that way.”
Check out the visual below…
Another solid cut from Ms. Keys; the visual compliments awesomely too.
‘Underdog’ arrives ahead of the star’s hosting gig at the GRAMMYs on January 26th.
Okay this sounds a lot better than I thought it was going to be. Also radio friendly. My apologies
Issa no from me dawg. But maybe it’ll grow on me. Swizz has just taken her mojo away in my opinion…
You’re onto something …
She look good!
Yes Meme, she’s serving that black don’t crack cause crack is wack lol ??And she has a laid back tone here, not hollering a chorus…keep on keepin at what you love, you’ll find that someday soon enough ❤️ ?
Couldn’t agree more.
We over her next
Love it! Real artist.
THIS is the Alicia we needed, 3 for 3 I’m ready for this new era
Ed Sheeran helped write, I knew there was a special lil something here ?
It sounds fresh and less sombre than the snippet. She’s making the music she wants to – not for the charts – if people like it cool, but she PAIIIIIIIIIIIID for the gawds for her writing royalties, she is utterly unbothered and the haterz will stay mad. ?
I like it. I love that she can stay true to herself and be successful. She’s a real artist
This doesn’t look or sound anything like the teaser; it’s much better, and she’s smiling and having fun.
Beautiful message!
Shyly wants to appeal to ALL outcasts. Fails. Needs a rmx or BIG rap feature.
Nice return to braids, ‘Licia.
Her songs are so boring these days. This sounds like a nursery rhyme. I need that fun, edgy, feisty Alicia back.
She began to flop when she started to not put any make up on her face. Do u guys notice that?
Love it! Alicia.. killin it as usual
This is so forced and pretentious as hell
