When Alicia Keys performed at the 2012 iTunes Festival, she debuted a new song called ‘Brand New Me’ live onstage. Now, we finally get the chance to hear the studio version of the record, which was co-written by the incredibly talented Emeli Sande.
Keys explained the concept of ‘Brandy New Me’ during an interview AOL’s The Boombox. “[This song] is about the journey it takes to get to a place where you are proud to be a new you. There is nothing wrong with growing! There may be people in your life that knew you for a long time and they think of you only as the person you used to be and not the person you now are!”
On November 27th, Keys will release her ‘Girl on Fire’ album in the US. Until then, listen to ‘Brand New Me’ below:
