Description
Double LP
2020 release by mutiplatinum-selling Grammy-winning R&B artist Alicia Keys!
Album delivers uplifting messages with a common touch!
When Alicia Keys made her debut nearly 20 years ago, the primary engine of her music was musicianship itself – her ability to passionately yet effortlessly elide the distance between classicism and modernity, entwining genres and eras in her playing, singing, and writing, writes Rolling Stone, in a review of her latest album, Alica.
Over the years, as we've gotten to know her, the focus has shifted toward her own deeply-felt hopes, frustrations, and desires. She says her seventh album is her most authentic and personal to date, but for many listeners, its openness will be familiar. Alicia is one of her most musically engaging LPs, with production from Mark Ronson, Sampha, Tricky Stewart, and her husband, Swizz Beatz, among other reliable hands. Alicia moves easily between moods and styles, from the disco throwback "Time Machine," to "Me X 7" (a bit of moody R&B ache with Tierra Whack), to the slinky reggae of "Wasted Energy," with Tanzanian singer Diamond Platinumz.
