Alicia on Speed...

Put It In A Love Song - Alicia Keys feat. Beyonce

Wow! Alicia Keys has recorded a song that's more than 3BPMs! What next? Kylie's jazz record will surface? Who knows what the world is coming to. But seriously...it works. This song is really good and grooves along nicely - and not just because of Beyonce - though she helps it a lot.

Put It In A Love Song isn't really mid-tempo but it's not really up-tempo either. It's somewhere in between, and it makes a really good urban pop song. And don't even get me started on the break down during the bridge and at the end of the song - I can't quit going around and singing it - OK and maybe doing a silly little Beyonce-esque dance too, much to much other half's chagrin.

I've read mixed reviews of the song, but the bad ones are wrong. LOL. This song is worth having because it's just plain ol' good pop. It's not complicated, there are no poetic earth shattering Alicia Keys or Sarah McLachlan type lyrics. It's just something you're really gonna like listening to. And it's nice to see Alicia Keys break out of her mold. Leona and A&R team...please take note!
