ALICIA KEYS VID TEASER "DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING"

Alicia Keys is absolutely gorgeous in this snippet, and while I love of some of her previous work, can't say this song moves me. I'm not a huge fan of teasers, especially when the teaser itself poses no excitement. For me, the only artist to successfully pull off an interesting one is Mr. West with "Flashing Lights".

But for those of you who are die hard Alicia Keys fans, enjoy.
