Used to listen to this song (most of her songs really) on repeat. Her albums too. You should definitely do an Alicia deep dive. I know you reacted to Fallin and a few others. My recommendation for your next Alicia reaction is Un-thinkable (I’m Ready) or The Life or Goodbye.

Also, fun fact! Mos Def is the love interest in the video for this song!

Hey Guys!! I finally joined to crew!! This is the first Song I came to... I.e... My Fav Alicia Keys Song. It always gives me this Christmas vibe...especially at the end of the song... and Mos Def is in the video. Also, I love your Dad's honesty about how Empire State of Mind was working his nerves. I'm from Jersey so... 🤷🏽‍♀️Great Review ✌🏾❤️🙏🏾

Listen to Alicia's a woman worth.

Susu

listen to Brandy Full Moon song so good sonically,

Bayou Mic

Can we get some jazmine Sullivan? I’m telling when you hear her voice you’ll fall in love. I know I did.

Amethyst Simone

Please refer to her full debut The Diary of Alicia Keys, the Prince samples are great 😊

The originals intro reminds me of Srairway to Heaven by the O'Jays.

If you guys enjoy 90s r&b I implore you to listen to SWV, everyone will say weak but I sent your instagram a link of their acapella of a deep track called Use Your Heart

Such a great song and great video I’m glad you got to hear the sample too it’s one of my favorite Main Ingredient songs. I highly recommend watching the Alicia Keys live performance at the 61st Grammys. The video is on YouTube and it’s called Songs I wish I wrote it’s an amazing performance and I would love to see a reaction to it.

I am super interested in hearing more Alicia. You mentioned Celine Dion. Her phenomenal singing ability is something to marvel at but I always felt she was wasting her talent on pretty commercial, uninteresting material. Pretty remarkable though how she grew up not speaking English and had a huge fan base in Quebec for something like 10 years, singing only in French.

The Afro Buddha

Man! Talk about Alicia songs we ran into the ground LOL. If I Aint Got You was EVERY wedding song for an entire decade. She really is like the Celine Dion of R&B. All her records become timeless staples.

Kenysha

Definitely check out Fallin', If I Ain't Got You, and Like You'll Never See Me Again.

The FrontRoom

Ah I was wondering about that, thanks! - K

The FrontRoom

Thanks for the suggestions Tonya, I'm not familiar with Alicia all too well so it's very helpful. I love Fallin though and I think that would be a great one to show. - K

The FrontRoom

I'll do Fallin for sure!

Alex Moore

I think Fallin (her debut song) and diary are 2 must listens

The FrontRoom

Mos Def? Okay, gotta check that out! - Dad

The FrontRoom

Haha, you're too kind, thanks Shaquea!

The Afro Buddha

MUST watch the video! MUST watch the video! lol Mos Def is the starring role as her love interest. Kicks it up a notch. And we ALL got burnt out from the way they played NEW YORK. Lol. Even the fans were sick of it.

Sudan Mcallister

Your dad need to definitely watch the video to see who plays the male interest

jeff baker

She has so many good songs you could cover too many to mention

Shaquea White

Ok pipes!!! You sound good singing along with The Main Ingredient. The actor Cuba Gooding Jr is the son of the lead singer of that group.

Elizabeth Kelly

Glad you liked the song. The part Alicia directly sampled, the cascading piano piece, from The Main Ingredient song is around the minute and 1/2 mark.

Tonya Garner

You guys should watch the video for this song. The song that you guys didn't like is a verse on Jay-Z's album but she turned it into a full song called 'Empire state of mind' More Alicia: -FALLIN' -A WOMAN'S WORTH -NO ONE -TRY SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART
