Free Music Notes for Songs in A Minor
Free Music Review: "Songs in A Minor" is The Album!
Hit: 5 Stars
We never forget the first time. With a bit of nostalgia, I dare to say that "Songs in A Minor" is yet the best effort coming from Alicia Keys. In 2001, she was so young and yet so full of talent to offer us. From a girl that age, we usually don't expect such great piece of work.
Not only she is able to sing smoothly, but also plays piano greatly. In my opinion, this album is the one on which she shows more of her true talent than the others that came later. "The Diary of Alicia Keys", "Unplugged" and "As I Am" are also great records, each one shows evidences that she's polyvalent and can evolve musically, but the impression I have is that her 2001 debut effort is the real landmark: seemingly less concerned with popularity (which came from nowhere that time) and more focused on soulful tones and quality R&B.
Songs in A Minor Poster
She may be beautiful, but Alicia Keys is a musician first and foremost. She plants herself firmly behind the piano keys on her debut, unlike many of the booty-waggin' junior divas who are crowding the R&B videoscape these days. Though many of the tracks on Songs in A Minor are embellished with adolescent angst, this 20-year-old's substantial, gorgeously soul-drenched alto putties the cracks between notes with astonishing ease. "Fallin'," the album's first single, showcases Keys at her best. She wails plaintively and passionately over rolling blues chords, in the tradition of the greats that this young talent clearly wants to align herself with--Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, and Aretha Franklin. She swoops and soars over the spicy, flamenco-fueled melody that opens "Mr. Mann," one of the many winning tracks gathered here. And she digs deep into a remake of the beloved Prince B-side, "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?" packing more heat into her melismatic wails than most singers twice her age. --Sylvia W.
