Alicia Keys Returns w/ Contemplative New Single "28 Thousand Days"

Alicia Keys - "28 Thousand Days"

Alicia Keys has been laying low for the past few years, with her last official single coming in the form of the heartfelt and poignant ballad "We Gotta Pray." But the darling of modern soul and r&b is back today with the fresh and fun new cut "28 Thousand Days." The new number is a lighthearted contemplation of how, where and with whom to spend the track title's allotment, a breakneck, feel-good hip-hop tune disguised as a poppy hybrid, utilizing Fab Four-ish melodics and a driving break that should capture the ears of the radio-ready and true-schoolers alike. And truth be told, if music's watershed year needs anything to ramp up what has already been a massive year of releases, it's a Keys offering or twelve. Go ahead and give Alicia Keys' new single "28 Thousand Days" a spin and let us know how you feel about it in the comment section below. There's no word on whether a new album can be expected this year, but a tasty new cut is certainly a step in the right direction. Keep your eyes and ears on us for the latest from the lovely Miss Keys in the weeks and months ahead.
