Almost just as quickly as Alicia Keys unleashed the video for “Doesn’t Mean Anything,” she got to work on “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart,” the second single from her upcoming fourth album, The Element of Freedom.
Keys, though extremely talented and successful, has never really been known for having extraordinary videos. “Try Sleeping…” tries stepping away from the humdrum list of past videos, with a superhero concept and some interesting visuals. Keys has the ability to bring life to the dead, but kills anything she loves when she touches it — sounds like a show…?
In the end, the vid still suffers from being just a bit too corny, especially for a song as amazing as “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart,” but kudos to Alicia for the effort and looking positively amazing in her purple super-suit.
The Element of Freedom flies into stores December 15.
I’m trying to figure which X-Man she is. Rogue? And can Alicia step out of New York City for one video? I know she reps NY but damn, get out of the city.
Fav. song right now!
Alicia has some great vids, btw. I still remember Fallin’, Woman’s Worth, How Come You Dont Call Me, Like You’ll Never See Me Again, and Karma (best video ever!) like they were yesterday!!!
Awsome video a
