Although her album isn't scheduled to be released until December 15th, Alicia Keys's second single has hit the internet, titled "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart".

As her first single has not been the resounding success her previous lead singles have proven to be, this song has the uniqueness and potential to do very well, a bold statement to reassure the listening audience of her swift return to the music landscape. The smooth bass-driven track, peppered with interchanging whispers and hearty vocals from Ms. Keys is a huge improvement over her first single, "Doesn't Mean Anything", which seemed nothing more than a watered down rehashing of her number one single "No One". The song is pure R&B but has that special touch to it that is easily identifiable and relatable. While the song seems to at first be missing that notable touch of every Alicia Keys track, the piano takes control by the end of the song. Fantastic sound from one of R&B's most successful acts.

Jay-Z, Alicia Keys Rock 2009 World Series

Less than an hour ago, Hip Hop and R&B heavyweights Jay-Z and Alicia Keys performed at the 2009 World Series, performing their hit single "Empire State of Mind" in front of a cheering New York crowd.

Overall, a nice performance, even if the feedback from the microphone did get a bit annoying. The duo were scheduled to perform the song yesterday evening before Game 1 of the World Series but poor weather canceled the performance, fearing that the stage would damage the soft field for game play. This song is one of the most anthemic songs to be released in a very long time and seeing the two perform seems never to get tiring. The video is scheduled to premiere soon and you can click here to get a sneak peak of the video.

For the past couple of days, Britney Spears has been using her twitter page for mass promo of the music video for the number one hit song "3".

I've only included one of the three video clips released today, just because the clips are not very insightful and are frustratingly short. The music video, which will see its worldwide premiere tomorrow, is described to show the pop princess's return to her impeccable dance ability. And, while I am hopeful to see a well choreographed music video, I am not expecting to see a video reminiscent of her prime days of dancing (e.g. "I'm A Slave 4 U", "Toxic", "Oops...I Did It Again"). Regardless, based on the pictures and short clips, the video does look interesting.
