Soon enough, Keys will be debuting her first graphic novel, which is also called Girl on Fire.
What About That Girl On Fire?
Girl On Fire by Alicia Keys is a young adult novel that focuses on a fourteen-year-old girl with unique abilities. The new graphic novel will be Keys’ first introduction to the comic book world. Girl On Fire focuses on Lolo Wright, a young teenager who discovers her telekinetic powers when she has a grim encounter with police brutality. Key and Andrew Weiner will co-write the novel and Brittney Williams – who did the artwork for a.K.a. Hellcat!, Goldie Vance, Patsy Walker, and Adventure Time – will create the art for Girl On Fire.
As reported to Billboard, Keys revealed what inspired her to create a comic book novel based on her hit single. She explained to Billboard that her novel was somewhat of a passion project. She also shared that she chose her single “Girl On Fire” as inspiration for her novel because she wanted Lolo to realize her inner strengths.
Keys stated that:
“When I wrote ‘Girl on Fire,’ I knew I was writing it for that girl in the way back row who needed someone to tell her there’s nothing you can’t do, that nothing is impossible,”… “When Andrew and I came up with the idea of translating the song into a young adult graphic novel, I knew that I wanted it to be about a girl coming to realize the strength she’s always had. There’s a little Lolo in all of us — we all have the power inside to do what we never even thought we could — and I’m so proud and crazy excited to be able to share her story with you. You’re going to fall in love with Lolo.”
