After taking the world by storm with her memorable appearance on Jay-Z’s triumphant “Empire State of Mind,” Alicia Keys has now switched gears for a highly anticipated collabo with Beyonce on her forthcoming LP, “The Element of Freedom.”
Speaking on the track from her World Aids Benefit concert in New York City on Wednesday night (December 2), Keys spoke exclusively with BET News Correspondent Sharon Carpenter about “Put It In A Love Song.” The track, which is slated to appear on the singer's December 15th release was constructed out of pure fun and completely organic, according to Keys.
“Someone’s in London, someone’s in NYC and you send it via internet and they send it back," Keys told Carpenter. "You’re feeling it, you talk on the phone, but the real way is to really be in the studio together, which we were.”
“We just had a party in the studio," she continued. "It was such a genuine energy, we clicked, we connected. We’ve known each other for a lot of years and obviously this is the first time that we’ve been able to collaborate, so it was unforgettable. Can’t wait for you to hear it.”
Though contributors and producers for “Put It In A Love Song” have yet to be revealed, Keys assured Carpenter that the her and Beyonce’s tag team in addition to the song's elements provide a great ambiance. “The song, when you hear it, there’s just a great mixture,” Keys explained. “It just felt like….the two of us together would be a the perfect mixture on this song, big pianos, big beats, ill flows and a great hook.”
In regards to matching schedules, Alicia believes fate was the common denominator that brought the two songbirds together. “I reached out and she was like, ‘You’re never going to believe it, but I came back to New York those exact three days you said.’ It was just meant to be. There’s no other way that this was going to happen.”
Alicia’s “The Element of Freedom” is set to hit stores December 15 via J Records.
