The singer-songwriter showed off a sexy wild curly mane in the new video for her hit single.
Alicia is a sultry figure in black as she slinks through the shadowy video, which premiered on BET on Monday.

Wild thing: Alicia Keys showed off her new curly 'do, not to mention her slinky figure, in her latest music video Brand New Me, which premiered on BET on Monday

The video begins with the entertainer sitting at her piano and singing her song, her face framed by a riot of dark curls that fall gently to her shoulders.
As she gets further into the song, Alicia gets up and starts to stroll in her high heels, with hips swinging, through various sets and stages.
Alicia looks amazing in her black catsuit and shows plenty of cleavage with that plunging neckline.

Hair-splitting: Alicia goes through an emotional frenzy two-thirds into the video and then she grabs her locks and lo and behold tosses a wig across the room

 

So liberating: Alicia sings it out, finally free of her voluminous tresses

About two thirds into the video, Alicia is standing in front of a full length mirror where she starts beating her arms into the air in an emotional frenzy.
And then she grabs her curly hair and - surprise - tears it off and flings it across the darkened studio.
That's when you realise it's just a wig and not her real hair at all.

It's a newly liberated Alicia who finishes the song back at her piano and with her own shorter 'do while a man watches from the side.
Alicia teased her Twitter followers earlier on Monday by tweeting pictures of herself in the styling chair with that big hair as she was being attended to by her hairstylist.
She wrote: 'Getting ready for the #BrandNewMe video premiere today! Notice anything different? ;-)'
