Has it been over a month since I’ve updated the blog? I hate that I’ve been sooo negligent. I’ve recently had a little more time on my hands than usual, and I guess I’ve been focusing on everything except my blog. Sorry about that. Hope you forgive me. Thanks! : )
I am a huge Alicia Keys fan. I love her music, her sense of philanthropy and her spirit (I know I don’t know her personally, but she seems like such a sweet person, no?). She is one of the few artists who consistently makes me believe in the power of music. Her songs are filled with passion, raw emotion and it usually strikes a chord with something going on in mi vida loca.
I heard a snippet of her single Unthinkable (I’m Ready) a few weeks ago and I thought it was cool. I heard it again in its entirety and I fell in love. I kept singing the chorus over and over again, which is a HUGE sign that it will become my fave new song. It made me recall past relationships that I’ve been in and how I dealt with it. The song is completely relatable.
The concept for the video complements the song beautifully. Alicia Keys and Chad Michael Murray play lovers in different eras (from the 50s to present day) and show how interracial dating is seen as taboo in all of the eras (FYI: I am of the thought that love sees no colour). We see how their families have a problem with their relationship (mainly Alicia’s on screen brother), and watch as they decide if they should pursue the relationship, ignore the dispproval, and follow their hearts.
I think the heaviness and the tone of the lyrics only heightens the drama in the video. You start to root for the characters and hope that their love will make it. I am such a hopeless romantic!
Anyway, if you love Alicia Keys, or just looking for a cool video, click here. Let me know if you love it!
