Turning up the heat! Alicia Keys shows fans a real taste of her sensual side in her brand-new steamy music video for new single, "Fire We Make," serves as the second worldwide single, is one of the more soulful cuts off R&B songstress' latest fifth studio album album, "Girl On Fire." The stunning Keys teamed up with soul/R&B singer Maxwell and together the pair demonstrate their impressive vocal range across the track, created a steamy period piece set in old New Orleans as its backdrop for love. As Keys takes a break on a beach in the Bahamas, her new video is making waves of its own.
This sultry duet with Maxwell features a solo from bluesy-rock guitarist Gary Clark Jr, who told MTV: "It was originally just a one-time gig. She was doing a benefit for Keep A Child Alive here in NYC. She was asking if someone could play some guitar on George Harrison's 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps.'" When it came down to laying down his contribution, Clark has nothing but praise for Keys: "She's just sweet, genuine, people. I mean, she's Alicia Keys. I've been a fan for a minute. She's very professional. I went in and I was like, 'What do you want me to do?' and she was like, 'This is the song. You just do what you do, and we'll see what happens.' It was one of the best studio experiences I've ever had."
Directed by Chris Robinson, the visual is set in the French Quarter hotel of an old, '50s period-styled New Orleans, and tells a story of a girl working at her family's boarding house who falls in love with a handsome guest and traveling singer. It begins as a short film, where Keys stars as a gorgeous B&B innkeeper with her sultry voice narrating: "It was an amazing time to be in New Orleans. The heat, the French Quarters, and him. And we fell in love," before a mysterious guest shows up. Keys races downstairs to the reception and the chemistry is immediately evident. As Maxwell asks if there is a room available, the slow, soulful beat kicks in. After the 'flame of love' immediately lights up between them, Keys lets the mystery man into his room before retreating to her own.
The narrative unfolds as the pair, from separate rooms, appear to be resisting the temptation to join one another. He's thinking the same and wonders if the woman in the next room is feeling what he's feeling. Next, Maxwell sings on stage at a tiny, smoke-filled live music venue, while Keys writhes on the floor on the other side of the room rub ice all over her body since there was no air conditioning back then, enthralled. After some more fantasizing, undressing, and sexy stolen glances, the pair eventually meet up in person at the hotel porch at night time to embark on what we're sure is going to be the hottest first-time encounter ever, and to let their sentiments free.
