Tuesday Beat: Alicia Keys - Wait Til You See My Smile

2nd fave on CD.
I will admit to having mixed feelings about Ms. Keys' new offering. A few cuts are actually decent since they were "under produced" (thank you for giving Swizzy a time out on them). Last week's 'That's how strong my love is' is a winner in my books for its simplicity. The Beyoncé collaboration ... what were these women thinking????
Overall I dislike the made for radio feel and the lack of lyrical depth in comparison to past offerings, but I am willing to forgive her if she makes a video for That's how strong my love is AND the video itself is equally simple (none of this excessive use of CG).
