Big pianos. Big beats. Ill flows. This is how Alicia Keys described “Put It In A Love Song,” her duet with Beyonce to BET and in all honestly, I would have to agree. I’ve actually been waiting for this Swizz Beatz produced track to leak from Alicia’s newest project The Element on Freedom, which drops December 15th. The hard hitting rhythms are very reminiscent of Bey’s “Get me Bodied” but all in all, I really like this. Now, that says a lot since you all know I have a love/hate relationship with Mrs. Knowles-Carter. The fact that the two of them put their celebrity and diva status to the side to come together on this track is noteworthy. “We just had a party in the studio,” Keys said. “We’ve known each other for a lot of years, and obviously this is the first time we’ve been able to collaborate.” The best of both voices are perfectly showcased here while keeping the main ingredient that make any track classic Alicia Keys — her piano. In the end, these two have come away with a definite winner. I foresee the radio play for this to be bananas so get ready!

I think I should play this song over and over for a certain someone! Im loving it! But more then loving the song I imagine the video is going to be sick. I have been loving Beyonce’s videos as of late. As far as Alicia Keys goes her videos bore me a bit so I think it would be a good change for her.
