'Clocks on the wall /it's now or never at all/ I'm gonna give my all' Alicia Keys sings over an explosive, disjointed bass drum turning her new album's lead single, 'New Day' into a triumphant hip hop inspired war cry about assertiveness. With marriage and motherhood for inspiration, Keys has blossomed from the girl who once used her piano as an escape from the turmoil of growing up in Hell's Kitchen New York. On this, Keys' fifth studio album, there is an apparent growth both personally and creatively.
