Free Music Notes for As I Am Album
Free Music Review: A very, VERY nice comeback. Proud 2 say it surpassed any album she has put out thus far...
Hit: 4 Stars
A very, VERY nice comeback. Proud 2 say it surpassed any album she has put out thus far..., November 15, 2007
If her next outing in 2009/2010 is as good or BETTER(?!??!) than this, then I mean, Man - That'd be INSANE!! And for that, I'd cop all of Her albums!!! I have the second one, DoAK and that was hot; hotter than this at first. But everything just grew on Me, which I'm thankful for.
All I really want from My music is for it to never suck (or at least not overall)!
As I Am (Intro) - Classical piano once again. This is my 2nd favorite intro. SinM >> AIA > DoAK 4 stars.
Go Ahead - Decent beat and the lyrics are good. I like the whole vibe of it most though. 4 stars.
Superwoman - Lyrics and vibe leaves me speechless still. 5.25 stars.
No One - One of the most uplifting and determined love anthems. 4.5 stars.
Like You'll Never See Me Again - 4.5 stars.
Lessons Learned - John Mayer gives some sexy backup vocals. The chemistry is well-done and received. Should be the third single. Very calm and soothing. 5.5 stars.
Wreckless Love - 4.25 stars.
The Thing About Love - 6 stars.
Teenage Love Affair - Skates on filler material. 3.75 stars.
I Need You - Nice piano. 5 stars.
Where Do We Go From Here - 3.75 stars.
Prelude to a Kiss - 4.25 stars.
Tell You Something (Nana's Reprise) - 4 stars.
Sure Looks Good to Me - Love the title. My favorite track by her ever. Moved up from being the second best track here, to THAT! Makes for an Excellent, EXCELLENT closer! 7 stars.
What I really, REALLY wanted to see was more variety. There is a song about being the best you can be. And another about learning lessons in love and life. The rest is pure Love.
Regardless of the lack of variety this is still an excellent CD. It's quality is way, WAY higher than the stunning, "The Diary of Alicia Keys". And that's saying something; Nobody Not Really was my favorite track by Her ever; touching on going through a bad first or second times, sexually, regretting it, not really moving on, but meeting someone You could Love forever. You want Them (Him) to slow down, and do things right because Your memory is on Fire...!

P-E-R-F-E-C-T-I-O-N. Obviously surpassed Just Like You; Keyshia Cole's sophomore album by a bit. It is now not only My favorite R&B/Soul album ever, but the best damn album I will hear all year, and half of next year, NO Freakin' Doubt. Believe that!!
