We listened to this song for 10 seconds and that's when we knew it was grabbing the last Song of the Week spot for 2012. While Alicia Keys sets the standard in contemporary soul, she also gets to the heart of the matter. Life is about moments and the moment you know you have fallen in love is an unforgettable one. "That's When I Knew" captures the simplicity in a conversation and the touch of a hand that can transform an innocent friendship into love mid-moment--sending unassuming hearts "all in." Read More...
