Anything Alicia does, she does with Heart & Soul! This is the 3rd copy of this CD that I've purchased, because I play it until I can't play it any longer! Thank God it was still available.

I can not help but think this is a new Alicia Keys. I have been a big fan of hers since the beginning and all of her songs seem to have incredible emotion. The one thing I notice about most of them is that though they may come from real circumstances, it was never anything new. Her songs were deep, but always focusing on the same theme. This album, however, is more polished. It is even deeper than anything she has done before. Before I feel like her songs were emotional, but made to sell. On this record, I don't think that was her concern, per se. Don't get me wrong - Every artist wants to make money, but I feel like she was more concerned with showing the world how she has matured as a woman, an artist, a writer and a performer. Alicia Keys is actually a performer, which is more than you can say for the majority of artists on the air waves. True, I like some songs more than others, but I think it is a good choice and some of her best work.Read full review

Alicia is such a classy woman, she has come a long way as a young vocalist and musician; awesome is the word that describes her in my book. As she ages I see only quality output from this young woman, who is maturing every time I see her. Her songs are very simple, but where the heart and soul of a being is, which is very hard to make contact with others genuinely; seems to sing from the heart as though she has had a bit of empirical experience, I love the way she expresses herself in song, I can only imagine how she expresses her self in a relationship with others. Watch out Beoncye! Alicia's persona is awesome!
