Singer/Pianist Alicia Keys dropped a sizzling summer jam today entitled, “New Day,” off of her upcoming fifth album, which is the follow up to 2009′s The Element of Freedom. “When it comes to sharing this music with you, I am like a caged animal that’s dying to escape,” says Keys. In explanation of the new direction she’s taking with this project, she replied, “It’s like I’m a different person, a new person. Everything is new, from being married and having a baby, and what that’s done for me in just giving me a sense of real stability, real connection, grounding, reason, and purpose. So much of the music that you’re going to hear is talking about what that feels like, what we’re all going through, all of us … That empowerment, that freedom is definitely something that’s reflected in this album.” Produced by her husband Swizz Beatz…press play!
