Alicia Keys Explains & Performs "We Are Here" on "The Today Show"

Alicia Keys’ new single “We Are Here” is finally on iTunes. Exactly one week ago the R&B singer premiered the moving ballad online, alongside its accompanying music video, but opted to not put it straight for sale on iTunes. A bad move? Maybe, but at last, starting today (September 15th), we can all legally buy it.

To kick off the iTunes release week of the new single “We Are Here”, 15-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys stopped by NBC's "The Today Show" this Monday morning to perform her political protest song live. After a brief interview with Matt Lauer who asked her about her future new child - Alicia is expected to give birth to her second child with Swizz Beatz in December - and the story behind the lyrics of “We Are Here”, Ms. Keys proceeded to mesmerize and lift everyone’s spirits with a stunning acoustic rendition of her new single with just her Yamaha piano accompanying her on stage.

I’ve already bought “We Are Here” on iTunes. Have you? No? Then, go get it now! It’s a great song with a great message. If we turn it into a smash hit then we may get RCA to hurry the release of Alicia’s new studio album – which is already done!
