Keys’ soaring vocals accentuate the title track’s concept of a steadfast phoenix ascending from apocalyptic ashes. It’s the NYC native’s first album since giving birth to a son, and the R&B singer/songwriter/pianist sounds resplendent atop a sparse beat that smashes ahead with propulsive drum crashes, recalling her triumphant 2007 hit “No One.”
