Empire State Of Mind (Part II) is off Alica Keys' new album, The Element Of Freedom. It is an amazing worldly love song to and about New York.
The song captures the passion and beauty of the urban dream so well; well you know Alicia Keys... when I think of her I can't keep from crying, there's nothing I don't like about Alicia Keys!
The dream of New York, place of movie scenes, is something I owe pretty much everything to; something bit me as a teenager and pulled me away from the countryside down into the city. The city, even if it ain't all that it seems - and Manchester frequently isn't - is still the place to be ALIVE with a pocket full of dreams! I'm so pleased Alicia has reminded me in such an anthemic way....
Even if it ain't all it seems / I got a pocket full of dreams / Baby, I'm from New York!
Concrete jungle where dreams are made of / there's nothing you can't do / Now you're in New York
These streets will make you feel brand new,
Bright lights will inspire you
Hear it for New York, New York, New York!
