Alicia Keys Releases New Video for “New Day”
Just weeks after releasing her hot new video with Maxwell for ”Fire We Make”, Alicia Keys has dropped a brand new video for her latest single, ”New Day”, that was produced by hubby Swizz Beatz.
“New Day” is a positive and celebratory type of song that just makes you want to get up and dance and have a good time. Director Laban Pheidias did an excellent job in capturing the upbeat feel of the song, and Ms. Keys looks absolutely STUNNING and brings the HEAT in this video.
In the video, we see Keys dancing in the streets of New York in a haute gold bustier and high heels, and then we see her showing off some choreographed dance moves in an on-stage performance.
Peep the video below:
Overall, I think this is a great video. “New Day” is something different for Alicia, but its definitely a good look for her and shows her in a different light than what we are used to seeing.
Are you feeling the video for “New Day”? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
