Mayer Keys <3

How can you not love them? It's my girl Alicia Keys and her secret lover John Mayer ;) I mean really, we all heard about Swizz and Alicia together, but John and Alicia have that insane musical chemistry between them. Just watch any performance they have done together...you'll know what I'm talking about.


So yeah, I'm a Mayer Keys supporter, lol. I'm still all for KrucialKeys, too. I still love Mr. Brothers ;) But what's special (to me) about John and Alicia is that when they're performing together...it's like their having musical sex or something. I'm not even kidding. The way they perform and the incredible amount of chemistry that they have shows in their performances. Take the Grammy's performance, for example, when Alicia performed "No One" and John had a little guitar solo. Better yet, John Mayer's performance of "Gravity" at Madison Square Garden and Alicia made a surprise guest appearance...now that performance shows how much chemistry they have. 


If you listen to "Lesson Learned" on Alicia's As I Am album, John is featured (he only says "It's alright, it's alright, it's alright" throughout the song), you can feel the chemistry that they share. Also, in John's album Continuum, Alicia's the background vocalist in "Gravity" and you can hear her singing along to John. Those two songs are just amazing...the chemistry and how their music (R&B and Blues) just combine into one beautiful genre, almost. 


I'll gradually add more to this post, but for now, this shows my love from a Mayer Keys supporter <3

This Bed

"This bed is too lonely without you...
Don't wanna hold my pillow I wanna hold you."


I HAVE HAD THIS SONG STUCK IN MY HEAD FOR AGES.


But I'm not complaining ;) It's definitely one of my all-time favorite Alicia Keys songs. Ever.
It's my ringtone. I NEVER buy or even use ringtones or whatever. But with this song? I spent $3.00 on this ringtone. Yeah. I love this song <3


Alicia...you don't know what you do to me, lol. I've had this song basically on repeat since December 14th (I got my Empire Edition pre-order early!) and I have over 360 plays on it...and counting. Goodness. I love this song though, so it's completely normal for this to happen ;)

Never Knew - Gravity

I'm starting a new "Never Knew" blog topic...it will be about things I never knew about something, and when I learn what it's about, I'll blog about it!

Never Knew thing of the moment? Gravity. No, not the force that Newton measured. The song. By my dude John Mayer -insert fan girl screams here-. From his album Continuum (one of my favorites album, just throwing that in there).

I've known this song for a while, listened to it and always loved it. And if y'all know me, when I like a song, I play it a million times. No joke. 

So here I am listening to Gravity for the who knows how many times, and around the last 50 seconds I've always admired the background vocals. I guess I was so oblivious, or just didn't realize just who it was. 

Background vocals on Gravity provided by my girl - Alicia Keys. Yep. I learned that just a few days ago, and I gotta say I was shocked, as dorky as that sounds. I've listened to Alicia for years now and I can recognize her voice from practically anywhere, from her talking voice to her shouting voice (like on Smokin' Aces, lol). I finally figured that out after listening to that last bit for a loooong time, listening to her breath and the "oooooh". It was definitely her. Also checked out websites just to confirm it, and man, I gotta say I felt stupid that I didn't know that until now. Knowing how much I love Alicia and John...it's crazy!

But I gotta say, I love Gravity in a whole new level now ;)
