Alicia Keys has been promoting the hell out of her new single "In Common." Since it's arrival, you'd be hard pressed not to hear it everywhere or see her performing it on television shows like The Voice or Saturday Night Live. Surprisingly, though, Alicia hadn't deemed to release a video to accompany it...that is until now.
The singer/songwriter delivers a stylish black-and-white clip for the song that drives home that love is love. We start with Alicia on a virtually empty grey set, with props like street signs, fences and fire escapes evoking the feel of urban streets. Dressed as she has been in here recent TV performances — hair pulled up in scarf with tendrils of hair falling to the side, a low-cut top and baggy black pants — she sings the loving lyrics as a troupe of dancers move and groove to the song's catchy rhythm. However, what's most intriguing here is that Alicia shows romantic love in all its forms. Six of the featured dancers form three pairs, a lesbian couple, a gay couple and a straight couple, and lock themselves in an intense embrace, illustrating that loves comes in many different forms.
Peep Alicia's stylish visual and political statement below.
