This arrangement is a proof of concept more than anything: Can I take a rather musically and lyrically simple R&B hit and turn it into a powerful contestable barbershop ballad?  Opinions may vary on the answer (and on the wisdom of asking the question in the firest place), but at the very least, it was a huge learning experience to go through the arrangement process.  Alicia Keys can ‘shop!
