I have been searching for this song ever since I saw the opening in Sex and the City 2 when Samantha was walking across the street and the car honked at her.

It's amazing how she can make this sound even better than Debbie Harry. Alicia's voice is great! Love this song. Didn't think it could ever be remade better but then that was before Alicia touched it.
OMG!!! This was nice. Alicia Keys did a really good done on this remake. Normally folks do a remake and they mess it up, badly. Alicia, with her midas touch, gave this song its proper respect by not screwing it up. Great job, Ms. Keys!! Bravo.
Damnit! Count on TNB to screw up classic songs! There was a reason why "Rapture" covers haven't been released for sale to the public. Alicia - good job fucking up a great song by Blondie.
oh they are gonna be making a 3rd movie alright. they're doing at least 3 or 4 from what i heard, plus a prequel about carrie bradshaw. i love the show but i think the first movie is way better. 2nd movie was really good but not as good as the first.
Am I the only one who heard "I'm so hairy and my pants so big" in the rap?
I'm loathed to call this a cover, since it just takes the beat from Blondie, but nothing else. They should have called it something else, then acknowledged that they've sampled Blondie.
The vocals are fine, but i don't like what they've done to Blondie's version over-all. It's too noisy, in my opinion. Alicia Keys is very good though, I went to her show in Holland, it was awesome.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This shit sound horrible. I think Alicia been drinkin the kool aid ...Slutty ass HOMEWRECKER!!! Her illuminati ass ain't gettin no more of my hard earn money. Bitch totally sold out.
Alicia Keys is an amazing artist ... In one song I can distinctly hear Alicia, the original essence of Blondie, and the Sex and the City theme that is in the background. And even though I can hear each piece distinctly, they still blend so flawlessly. I MUST HAVE THIS SONG!!
to be honest, i thought this film was sooo good. it made me laugh so much, and the story line was also good because it shows that every marriage isn't perfect etc. i think they should do another film :)
@rowesoc from what I can tell It was supposed to be about women adjusting to the changes of getting older and balancing it all (ie family, careers, etc.) but instead of admitting to growing up and getting older they resorted to countless bad puns and antics. I'm still pretty upset about the movie.
@rowesoc you are so right. I can't imagine how anyone could think this movie in any way empowers women...or enhances america's reputation. Not to mention that so much of the dialogue strays from the plot.
First rap song to ever get played on mainstream top 40 radio, and Alicia did a great job of making it modern and fresh and a great addition to the soundtrack. Remember, this was written for the MOVIE, first and foremost, not just as a dance tune. The changing of the rap sequence was necessary to make it relevant to the movie, and it was extremely well written and performed. It captures the vibe of the movie to a 'T'. Awesome job Alicia!
I lke it quite a bit actually and wasn't expecting to cuz Debbie and Blondie are like GODS in my opinion. Covers don't have to be exact copies IMO and I like what she did with it. Now hopefully people who have never heard of the song Rapture and/or Blondie (you know, people a LOT younger than me!) will go out and listen to the original and a whole new generation of Blondie fans will be born! LOL
Ugh, total Butchery, I semi enjoyed it lit she ruined the rap sequence. Sorry Alicia. If she did this not meant to be about Sexy and The City it would have been perfect.
Well, the person who said it has already outsold the original is wrong. Rapture sold nearly 2 million in the US alone, over 4 million worldwide. This version is no where near that. Not even over 100,000 yet. It is pretty good though, but not as good as Bondie's version. They should have got Blondie to re-record this version or at least do a duet with Alicia, since the Sex and the City girls are originally 80s ladies too, like Debbie Harry.
@bob7rob7 that would be the best idea..Blondie is everything..Alicia singing the chorus and Deborah doing the new rap..WOW..what a collaboration that would be.
Wow, pre-sales have already out sold the original, which was in the top 20 pre-sales of all of time, talking millions! Fandango says its roughly 20% of its daily sales, and we still got two weeks left.
Midnight shows are already sold out, theaters are adding more screens to keep up with demand!
"Rapture" is a classic and i love Alicia Keys dearly but she ruined this song :( to think i was listening to Blondie's version earlier and was happy, i heard thi shit and got pissed off lmao
this sounds really different for Alicia! She would be the last person I'd expect to cover a Blondie song, but she does a pretty good job of it. I especially love the rap-style bits, Alicia should definately rap more in my opinion haha.
Love the fact it manages to keep the new wave beat yet with an added flavor layer of smooth funky rhythm. Even the main theme of Sex & the City famous piano tone is a nice homage. I totally dig the break down of the Latin/disco beats at the 3:15 mark, and why do I imagine hearing this in Studio 54? =)~
Alicia does it endless sincerely!
