Somebody call 911… sh*t, wrong song. While the lead single (original pick New Day has been handed off to 50 Cent for his own forthcoming set) and album title track from Alicia Keys shares its central image—that of a female human bursting into flames for no observable reason—with a certain 2009 dance-pop hit, Girl on Fire‘s themes could hardy be more different. Instead of creating a raging conflagration in the club (and making male onlookers’ pants suddenly feel two sizes too small) with her alluring dance moves, the woman that Keys describes here is ablaze with ambition and creative potential. Backed by an anthemic set of piano chords and some addictive, heavily-overdriven percussion courtesy of Jeff Bhasker and Salaam Remi, this joint is a little poppier than the veteran singer/songwriter’s usual fare; will it succeed in heating up the airwaves, as well as warming the hearts of Keys’ hardcore fans? Though Girl on Fire (the album) doesn’t drop till November 28, those digging this record can purchase it, along with the Nicki Minaj-assisted Inferno Remix and a Blue Light Version, now on iTunes.

This is a pretty strong R&B Ballad by Mrs. Keys... I like the voice (as usual) and the flow....

I love Alicia she can really do no wrong. Her songs always have some semi inspirational message and this song is nice! The play bit in the music video was cute

As much as I adore Alicia Key's music, I believe she could use use her potential to form more creative song lyrics. The lyrics were overly repetitive. But overall, it was an okay song.

Classic Alicia Keys. Vocals are on right on point. Goes perfectly with the beat, although the beat sounds like another one of hers, just cant put my finger on it. Not a bad thing though.

This is a generic kind of power (totally obvious sample) ballad but Mrs. Keys vocals makes it an enjoyable experience!

This albums is by far my least favorite by Alicia Keys. She still has the beautiful voice and talent that got me interested in her in the first place but the lyrics on this album are too generic. The album boast co-writing credits from the talented Frank Ocean, Maxwell (featured guest), and Emeli Sandé yet the lyrics are just bland. Her other past albums were engaging lyrically and sonically but here its just the sounds. A bit disappointing for a five time grammy winning singer-SONGWRITER.
