PASS OR FAIL: Alicia’s Official “Freedom” Album Cover

So, the first album cover we showed you (below) was subject to change and, of course, it has. Above is the Alicia Keys’ official cover to her “Element of Freedom” album.

Which do you prefer?

Alicia Keys’ fourth studio album, “The Element of Freedom” was originally scheduled for a December 1 release, but got pushed back two weeks. We think it’s because her first single, “Doesn’t Mean Anything” didn’t catch on as well as it should have. After all, it only peaked at #60 on the Billboard Hot 100, and the video was boring.

She has since released her second song, “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart” – a track we think is a little ill-timed and insensitive considering her new “homewrecker” status; she’s not the one with a broken heart, Mashonda is.

And Keys looks pretty angelic on the cover of her new album; coincidence?

    Alicia is fine as God knows what… but the cover makes her look like she’s the receptionist for the “Knights Templar Dove Convention”

    The cover actually works for her. It is beautiful. I am feeling the head garb. Although it is more of a costume/accessory I am sure I will spot some fool in the club with one on their head (LMAO)!

    She is The Element Of Freedom keeping one speechless to say the accessory fits &
    looks good on her anyway just wonderful! I just like to hear her talk, sing, and do
    her tasteful style.

    The ‘above’ album cover is much better…..her first single and vid are boring as hell. The second single sounds bland and hypocritical…maybe she should take a break until her status as home wrecker dies down? **shrugs**

    Her album cover is beautiful. She’s a good singer but not too the point that I would go spend $20 on her cd. What they play on the radio is enough for me. I’m sure she cares. lol

    The album covers are both glamorous and abstract. I haven’t seen an album like this before.

    @ sylkiifeather No, you are not the only one!

    If I had a album cover, my eyes wouldn’t be closed in it. I prefer the other album cover if her face didn’t look so weird in it! Alicia is pretty but in that pic her face looks weird as hell but I love her head thing and the doves. Both is a fail it looks like it was created by a kid in kindergarten but who really cares, its the music that counts not the cover.
