Alicia Keys – Typewriter

New old Alicia. “Typewriter” finds Mrs. Beatz carefully crooning over a deep 90’s backbeat. The track was recorded as part of the Songs in A Minor sessions and was left off that seminal LP. A few listens in, I think we’re feeling this early aughts Mariah-esque jam. How are y’all feeling about it? p.s. Listen for the choral interlude on “God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen” toward the end of track, its dope as hell.
