NecoleBitchie: Thank you Alicia for the resurrection of Maxwell. We’ve been waiting for some new music from that sweet voice for the past three years. Hopefully, there is more to come.

As she prepares for the release of “Girl On Fire”, which will hit stores next week, Alicia Keys’ new track with Maxwell has leaked to the Internet. How she was able to keep this collaboration a secret all of this time is beyond me but it’s amazing.  On the track, Alicia sets the scene by cooing a seductive first verse (sometimes using a falsetto that’s similar to Marsha Ambrosius’), while Maxwell sounds sexier than ever as he sings the second verse.

    Hi baby, won’t you tell me the truth
    You wanna be the one, you can’t stay away
    Oh, hey darling, don’t you make no excuse
    We can chase this on and burn the hole inside you
    From the fire we make, it’s getting hotter and hotter
    Like a moth to a flame, I can’t stay away
    With the fire we make it’s getting higher and higher
    Like the night to the day
    I can’t stay, I can’t stay away

That’s that baby making music right there!
