Love is blind in the video for Alicia Keys’ “Un-thinkable (I’m Ready),” the third single from The Element of Freedom. Alicia’s character falls in love with a white man played by actor Chad Michael Murray, but racial tensions keep the lovers from expressing their feelings toward each other. The Jake Nava-directed clip flashes between the past and present to show that such apprehensions still exist. But will love conquer all?

I already loved this song a whole lot being that it’s 1 of Alicia’s top 3 songs she ever recorded! But I love it even more after seeing the video! That’s a really dope concept & storyline with how she goes from the black & white into color! Then shows how even through the different time periods leading up to today how racism is unfortunately still alive! Alicia looks really amazing in the video to!
Agrees with whatev, Drake’s vocals were barely present so there is no need for that. If he actually had a verse or did more than just background vocals then yea.
Both of my sisters are married to white men and they are still having to deal with the ignorance of people who don’t understand humans fall in love with humans.
Alicia Keys……i never used to like you, but you made me a fan just now. What an amazing video. I’m in an interracial relationship so this really hits home.
There’s something about this song, i really like it. I liked the video too, it’s the definitely the most creative one yet off of “The Element of Freedom”.
