December 4, 2009 New Music: Alicia Keys Ft. Beyoncé – Put It In A Love Song

    Beyonce_alicia_keys

    When the news broke that Alicia Keys would have Beyoncé as a feature I couldn’t help but get excited. Today, the highly anticipated track “Put It In A Love Song” hit the internet with only a few weeks left until the release of Alicia’s brand new album The Element of Freedom. Both ladies sound fantastic over the mellow, steady, beat of the drums. The sparse piano every now and then is a nice touch. Love muffins, get into the track below and let me know what you think!

    • I Love It…Alotta Ppl Said They Didnt Like It But I Love It! They Sound Great..Aint Nobody Tryin To Out Do One Another…Its A Good Song!…Jus Let AKeys Do the Video LOL

    • IM FEELING THIS….I didn’t think they would ever collab lol but finally lol and it’s great….she working with all the Carter;s lol

    • This song is really hot. I love how there voices blend and how neither of them tries not to over sing the other. 10+++

    • its not playing

      says file not found

    • Im not really feeling this song =/

    • I love this song thier voices are good together

    • I’m feelin it even though Miss Keys sounds a lil young. All in all, I definitely dig the new track

    • OMG That Song Was Amazing..I loved It

    • Eh…it’s okay. I think I expected more.

    • I enjoyed the song. Been waiting on the two to do something together and it was a success. Perfect:)

    • It’s not as bad as I thought it would be, lol. 1 thumb up! :D

    • Love it! I probably wouldnt like if Beyonce wasnt on it though :P Beyonce is doing an unusual amount of Collabos with her competition lately. Who is next, Ciara? Lolz, not. Alicia and Gaga have strong voices. Its also great how they dont outdo each other. The song really expresses their signature sounds though.

    • The beat is off the hook and thier voices together is on of the best collabrations that will go #1 for 2010. Yes put it in a love song is off the chain.

    • alicia sounds uncomfortable, i dont think she should have done this song with such a strong beat because it makes her sound weak, her voice isnt powerful enough to over shadow the beat, but bey’s alto rides the beat and im not a fan of her, im not really liking alicia now days either

    • Though it’s not as perfect as I’d like it to be, it’s gonna be hot in 2010.

    • i didn’t care for it too much… i think they should collaborate on a smoother, more laidback soulful type ballad than this mess

    • It’s not even off and I’m already lovin it!!! Will be playin this in the car tonight! I hope the video is GREAT! They have 2 different fly styles. It outta be interesting. Can’t wait!!

    • great job am actually listening to it a sec time in a row its nice love loved Beyonce but of lately am realy starting to dig a.
      key who i always had respect for but not a love u know? but well done and no over power move by both butttt we have to wait to see them perform first then we will see ……………………”if u want me baby u gattta work it baby”

    • I like the BALANCE.. If Be had pushed harder then it would not have been a callabo.. AKeys You doing tha dang thang! Love it when the Divas can make beautiful music! Please MORE MORE MORE

    • kinda corny…bee drug a keys with her into the land of bubble gum pop

    • Um…I’m not sure how I feel about this song. Maybe I need to hear it a few more times. I like Beyonce’s part ok but Alicia sounded odd to me. I was expecting more of a ballad for the two of them to be dueting together. So, I’m still on the fence with this.

    • I love this song, I always liked A. Keys, but I love Beyonce and she killed this song :)

    • mmh…not too sure about this one. I am a fan of both but wish it was a smooth ballad without the urban pop thing. They both have amazing voices for a smooth ballad. This one just sounds more of a Bey thing and not Alicia especially when Bey is a featuring on the song. ;)

    • SOUNDS LIKE “PUT A RING ON IT”…. ALICA KEYS VERSION… A LITTLE

      CORNY FOR ME…… GOOD LUCK !!! BOTTOM LINE BEYONCE IS HOT…

      NOW……….. SO ARTIST… NEED HER….

    • Uh-Mazing! with this and Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart, I’m crazy excited for this album!

    • It’s a good tune, but then everything miss keys do is good. And the do blend well together. Beyoncé is a good singer, i just think she tends to overdo sometimes.
      Can’t wait to buy the album.
      Jah bless

    • i love this song

    • i think chriswell is wrong and i don’t agree with him. Beyone’s was good but Alicia was good to and i think that was mean of him to put that up(snc.)

    • wootys was nice

    • smoother nothing TOFALI. You make me sick.

    • she sounded good @ritzjwill.

    • random staff.

    • Just a minute! I was mean for stating my opinion?! I don’t think I said anything mean! You can go straight to hell jmb! Now! Call me mean for that!

    • Hunny! I literally had to repeat this song like 5 times! I absoulutely love it
      !

    • I like it. a fun light track.

    • Put It In A Love Song: These two ladies gave you something else (thx B-scott). I love the track and it sounds new and absolutely delightful. I shall have to “put it in a love song”!!!!

    • I like Beyonce’s verse, though I generally like both artists. Overall, the rest of the song comes across as lazy and pointless.

    • Awful. Sounds too much like pop, and Alicia doesn’t sound like herself. Fail!

    • I really wanted to like this because, hey, it’s Alicia Keys & Beyonce but this song is unbelievably bad. The tempo is erratic, Alicia’s voice, which is usually so husky, soulful and sensual sounds like she’s been sucking on a helium balloon. They’re trying too hard to make this a dance club hit. Trying too hard to get the gay boys to flip over it like they did over Single Ladies. I agree with the OP who suggested they should have sung a ballad.

    • Great song. I love Alicia. Thanks for sharing. I found your blog while searching for something.

      Since its relevant here and you might find it fun/useful. I also wanted to give a plug for a site Ive been working on that helps people share songs with their friends.

    • I love these strong women…they r speakn nuthn but the truth

    • Not so much…. A little light for Alicia and more in line with B’s fluff.

    • This song was awsome and off the hook . I have been wating for somethinh like this all my life, my two favorie singer Beyonce and Alicia Keys. They are definately doing their thing love you both good job. I cant wait to see the official music video to see you guys dance and alot more. Good job to both of you i am a huge fan i hope one day i get to meet you ladies. Both of you are my role models and i hope you guys will be singing more song together your voice sounds good it blends non of you were competing against each other you were both working and rocing the song love the beat. A and B you are both wonderful and fantastic ladies and you all have amazing voice love your song. LOVE VEN

    • I just don’t think this song is all that good! I mean, you have two of the hottest females out right now on the same track and this is the best they can do? When i heard that these two were going to do a song togehter i knew that it was going to have to be a fast joint because we all know that if they would have slowed it down and really got into the vocals theres no WAY Alicia would have been able to hang with Beyonce. I give this song a C at best.

    • This is my new fave!!! Alicia Keys never ceases to amaze me though. The colabo was genius:)

    • OMG, I luv luv Alicia Keys you’re my role model I love you we all love you all the way…… Alicia, I heard that by next year you will be saying bye to us ohhh god please don’t do that we’re very sad about it, we don’t know who will be our next role model sooooo sad hope you will change your mind. we don’t know how to describe how much we love you we are speechless, go Alicia we’re your big fun waiting to hear the good news, weeeeeeeeeeeee luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

    • I love Alicia Keys she is the best singer ever and beautiful, sexy and ohm I mean she is everything I love her, I love the song, both did very good job its kinda cool, go Alicia keep the good job I can’t wait to buy the album. Alicia K for ever……………..

    • The song sounded wack when I heard it on the radio. Now knowing that the homewrecker a keys is associated.. B better watch her man!
