Alicia Keys “The Element of Freedom” Party: Meet the Ex-One

On December 18, Alicia Keys was on hand at M2 Mansion in NYC for a release party for her stellar new album “The Element of Freedom.” If you don’t have it yet, you need to get off your computer and beat a path to Target/Walmart/Best Buy or pop a tab, click up an online shop and fill a shopping cart. Point is: forget the freebies, good music deserves better dollars (especially these days) and Alicia Keys cooked up something phenomenal for these cold winter months.

On a completely non-musical angle I can tell you listening to the album I wasn’t sure if Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz were still making their lo-pro relationship happen. Oh sure, throughout the album there is the sound and feel of a woman smiling in the glow of a new love, but who that love is I felt was up for question.

The pictures from the release party answer that clearly.. it’s still Swizzy.

The terrible part? Kerry Brothers, Alicia Keys’ rumored ex-boyfriend, was there too. Apparently, Alicia and Kerry are still buddies enough to cheese for the camera. I’m sorry, with Swizz right there, it has to be hard for Kerry to take that picture. On another level it can’t be the first time the three of them have been arm’s length apart, Kerry has a producing/business relationship with Alicia too. No need to lose the money and the woman. 😊

I’m trying to remember what I was doing last Friday, meant to go this party. Looks like it was a good one.

Bittersweet but true, engaging to a man who is still marry…What is going on with Alicia’s head…Whatever beef he had with his wife, she should at least back off until things are finalized…Love your music and what I thought you represented as a woman, but I guess you have an obvious weakness, like so many women….Sad to say, you are a homewrecker…so dissappointed!
