Alicia Keys Unveils New Edgy Look For ‘Girl on Fire’ Album Cover

Alicia Keys has made some changes to her sound and her look and she wants the world to know it. On Thursday morning the Grammy-award winning singer unveiled the art work for the album cover of her fifth studio album, ‘Girl on Fire’. Keys posted a video on her website detailing the process of evolving into her new look. Read an excerpt below:

“It is called Girl on Fire!!! And that’s exactly how I feel!!! You’ll be learning more about it soon… but let me just say before making this record, in some ways I felt like a lion locked in a cage…I felt like a girl misunderstood that no one really knew, I felt like it was time to stop making excuses for any part of my life that I wanted to change. Once I made that choice I became a Girl on Fire, the lion broke free!!

During the recording process, I mostly stayed in NY but on some cool and memorable occasions, I traveled to different places, and worked with many collaborators, (some old friends, some new). I discovered so many beautiful sounds, and meanings and a lot about the power of a song.  I can’t wait to share this album with you. I promise when you hear it, it’s a new me, I gave it my all: powerful, soulful, honesty and heart… With Girl on Fire, I want to move you and surprise you.”
