Girls Dreams

<p>Alicia Keys keeps surprising with the singles for her upcoming album <i>Here</i>. <a href="http://ift.tt/2dA5TB6 Common"</a>​ went for Afropop influences and newest single "Blended Family" goes for... the year 2000? With its acoustic guitar riff (which kinda sounds like the Police) and boom-bap drums, "Blended Family" does very much sound like a classic R&B single from the turn of the century. A$AP Rocky even fits the tender mood by singing most of his guest verse. Keys herself posted <a href="http://ift.tt/2cX4Xch; target="_blank">a note</a> on her website alluding to how the song concerns the trials and triumphs of sharing a family with Mashonda Dean, the ex-wife of Key's husband Swizz Beatz.
