Raw feelings is what Alicia Keys is conveying in her song and video. This is exactly what is translated. Alica Keys is working with business partners that do not expect her to be caught up in a scene where she is physically or sexually objectified. There is not a single layer of disrespect to other women or other men for that matter. Her message is simple: “No one can get in the way of what I’m feeling” –
You And Me Together Through The Days And Nights
I Don’t Worry Cause
Everything’s Gonna Be Alright
People Keep Talking
They Can Say What They Like
But All I Know Is Everything Is Gonna Be AlrightSome pop love songs have feminist friendly lyrics, but their videos end up portraying women as objects to be consumed. This video is different.

I find the part of the video where she’s sitting/standing in front of her bright fuschia piano to be really liberating.
And I agree with you. This video doesn’t objectify women nor does it bashes men.

She seems to be one smart lady! Glad to see there are still some out there in today’s music biz.

Agreed. It’s so refreshing to see a music video where the female artist/s, dancers and actresses are not objectified.

I think this is a good post. I like when you focus on the positive.
