The Major Keys We Need From Alicia - The day has finally come. Alicia Keys has released a new single, “In Common,” and all signs are pointing to it being included on her newest album. Full details are yet to be released on what the next Alicia Keys album will behold, but it is looking good. “In Common” finds the GRAMMY winner playing around with a new sound and hopefully this latest effort will give us some goodness.

A Yasiin Bey Verse - Playing "Michael" in the “You Don’t Know My Name” video didn’t quite do it for us. Before he goes into retirement, we need these two to get together in the studio.(Photo: Christopher Polk/Getty Images for NARAS)
