Alicia Keys lanseaza o prima piesa ce prefateaza urmatorul ei album de studio. We Are Here e un track inspirat de evenimentele politice din ultima perioada si incearca sa trimita un mesaj de pace si iubire.

Se pare ca faptul ca e din nou insarcinata o face pe Alicia Keys sa isi puna cateva intrebari existentiale, asa ca si-a impartasit gandurile fanilor de pe Facebook intr-un mesaj lung care includea si piesa We Are Here.

“The day I wrote this song, I was sitting in a circle of people of all ages and we were asked, ‘Why are you here? Why am I here??“This really hit me on a deep level. I realized no one had ever asked me that question before. As I prepare to give birth to a new child, I can’t help and think about the world I’m bringing my baby into. No matter where we come from, when we see the state of the world today, we can all feel the growing frustration and desire to make a difference. And we all have a voice—we just need to know how to make it heard.”

 

Cel mai recent album Alicia Keys a aparut in 2012, cand a lansat Girl on Fire, material ce a ajuns pe prima pozitie in Billboard 200. Piesa care da titlul discului a urcat pana pe locul 11 in Hot 100, iar la noi a dominat timp de mai multe saptamani topul celor mai difuzate piese straine. Urmatoarele single-uri nu au mai avut acelasi impact, dar piese ca Brand New Me, New Day sau Fire We Make au beneficiat de clipuri insa nu si de o promovare la fel de intensa. Cel mai recent am auzit-o alaturi de Kedrick Lamar si Pharrell pe trackul It’s On Again, care se regaseste pe coloana sonora a filmului The Amazing Spiderman 2.

Ce ziceti de piesa? Unii dintre fani o acuza ca e plictisitoare, voi sunteti de aceeasi parere?
