NEW VIDEO: Alicia Keys "Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)" (Co-Prod. Noah '40' Shebib)

hyperadmin | Music,Video | Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

Directed by Jake Nava.

Is it possible for anyone living in Toronto to not be aware of this song?

Already an OTA Live! future classic, this is a great example of how easily Noah “40” Shebib’s sound & Drizzy’s writing translate with raw R&B (Alicia Keys’ vocals are sooo perfect for this type of production). I hope they do more work in the genre. Vibe-wise this initially reminded me of “Making Love In The Rain” (Herb, Lisa & Janet) and “Funny How Time Flies” (Janet) – two classic urban mood music pieces – but now with the video out I definitely appreciate the message she chose to associate with the lyrics.

This is R&B being comfortable in it’s own skin and we need more of it.

Simply put: a beautiful piece of work with hometown beginnings and visuals to make it potentially more timeless.

  8. I follow regular news on Alicia Keys especially her pregnancy. It’s good that she craves for a yogurt with lots of toppings. That is my favorite thing too. all the best with your baby
