Alicia Keys is Back

Some people are just so huge at what they do that they not only do extremely well in their field, they make everyone else doing the similar thing - even experts - seem like amateurs by comparison. Just like Michael Jordan do extremely well in the field of basketball, just like Denzel Washington is one of America’s greatest actors, just like Maya Angelou is an incredible poet, Alicia Keys is tops at what she does. And most other singers, even those who are above average, pale in comparison. Evidence of this is inherent throughout Alicia’s third studio album, As I Am, which is probably the most powerful R&B release of 2007.
In every note she sings in her songs and in every note she plays on her piano, you can feel Alicia Keys. She sings with a purity and conviction that others can only dream about. Exhibit A: the album’s first single, the surprise radio hit “No One.”
