Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire (Album) 2012

[Art Barr]

Not sure yet about this album but every Alicia keys album was good WTF ate u ppl talking about. And all of her albums have been successful. Girl on fire is a terrible song but so is "no one"

No one is a dope record.
I think your perception is off.
If you feel her albums are up to snuff.
Then you feel no one is a low quality record.

Real spill- Alicia still feeling that loss from here core audience of females ever since she came out as the homewrecker between Swizz and Mashonda.
Remember when she came out with all that "strong women and sisterhood" vibe???
Kinda hard to maintain that when Mashonda found out Swizz's American Express charges were in a direct pattern with Alicia's European tour schedule.
Personally idgaf BUT then again I'm not Alicia's core demographic.
What made it worse was those evasive and bullsh-t cliche tweets she was typing when confronted with some tough questions from her fans regarding adultery and such......
If she had a younger demographic audience(females 12-20) she could do some PR work and revise history, at least distance herself from it.
But her demographic is still women 25-40 and they ain't as easily fooled.
Just like all the female fans who used to support Rihanna til time showed she is a hot mess.

Alicia's achilles heel is that her fans FOLLOW all her moves, which have been suspect.

That Girl On Fire track is generic as shyt

Swizzy's corniness is rubbing off on her. You see how negative things keep happening when he is attached to a certain thing?


Critical response

The song received widespread positive reviews. Jon Pareles from the New York Times described "Girl on Fire" and the previously released song "New Day" as "booming anthems" and the complete opposite to Girl on Fire's ballads which feature just Keys' vocals and a piano.[10] Rob Markman from MTV's RapFix blog described "Girl on Fire" as a "high-powered Alicia ballad" just like previous singles "No One" and "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart".[3] Agreeing with those comparisons was Gerrick Kennedy from the LA Times who went on to describe the main single as a "sweeping ballad with powerful vocals and an anthemic hook". Then commenting on the remixes Kennedy said that on the Inferno remix, Minaj's "fluid verses" and an "added thump" might make that version of the song get noticed more, while its the Bluelight version Kennedy called the "most intoxicating". On the latter Kennedy said "it would be unfortunate to overlook" due to Keys' sensual vocal tone.[2] Kyle Anderson from Entertainment Weekly commented that the "hook was weak" and that Minaj verses were much stronger, supporting the song.[8]

By contrast, Charley Rogulewski from Vibe said it was "Keys who stands out on the track. [She] lays down powerful and flawless vocals over her trademark piano punches and a trash-can-lid beat."[11] Erin Thomposn from Seattle Weekly praised Keys' on the song for making the "often cheesy" girlpower theme seem "genuinely stirring and elegant", commenting that "only Alicia Keys could do it". Describing the chorus of the song, Thompson said "it booms with thudding drums as her drawn-out notes soar on top. It's heavily bombastic, but the drama of it makes it memorable, and the hooky melody is beautiful and exhilarating. Keys seems to have to set out to make a statement song about power, and it's undeniable that she's succeeded in that".[7] Speaking of the song's inferno remix, Idolator's Carl Williot agreed with previous reviewers particularly noting Keys' vocals, using term "trademark soaring vocals" to describe Keys' performance on the song.[4]
