Alicia Keys, 'Rapture' from 'Sex and the City 2' -- New Song


'Rapture' is one of two songs by Alicia Keys featured on 'Sex and the City 2''s upcoming soundtrack, in stores May 25.

Originally sung by punk rock veterans Blondie, 'Rapture' was featured on Blondie's 1980 album 'Autoamerican.'

Alicia's cover still includes the new wave funk sound and a rap interlude, but with new rap lyrics pertaining to the movie's highlighted quartet.

Let's just say it mentions "home girls" walking on "fifth avenue" with "shopping bags."

Alicia Keys' 'Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down' also makes it on the album, which is featured on Keys' fourth studio album, 'The Element of Freedom.'

Brand new songs by Dido and Cee-Lo as well as new duet with Jennifer Hudson and Leona Lewis make it on the soundtrack as well. To hear Alicia's new cover, go to AOL Radio's New Pop First station.
