Free Music Review: Smooth R & B... Hit: 5 StarsBeing a fan of Alicia's,"As I Am" was actually the first album I bought from her. Sorry I never purchased this one ,the time it came out,but finally did.Wow,"A Classic" indeed. Just great from beg. to end.I rarely give an album 5 stars but had to for this one. Knew the songs,but just one of those things.Now that I do have it,it will always be one of my all-time faves.Karma,You Don't Know My Name,If I Ain't Got You,Diary and Dragon Days highlight this superb effort.If you are one like me,who never purchased an album of hers,but a fan,this would be "The One" to buy first."Songs In A Minor " will soon follow. You will be truly amazed!!!!
Free Music Review: The Soul Princess Hit: 4 StarsIf you don't know Alicia Keys' music you probably don't know much about soul music. Alicia Keys's second album "The Diary of Alicia Keys" is a great piece of work. Her voice is amazing in every song! The songs are very relaxing, so it was quite hard for me to like this album at first. I just bought it because I had heard live versions of the songs "Karma", "Heartburn", and "Wake Up". Those songs are brilliant also in this album although "Karma" is a little bit slower than the live version. There's also other great songs, like "If I Ain't Got You", "You Don't Know My Name", and "When You Really Love Someone". In other words the only song I don't like is "Slow Down". Still, Alicia Keys is The Soul Princess!
Stars: Heartburn, If I Ain't Got You, Karma
Free Music Review: Her Diary = A Fine Chameleon. Hit: 5 Stars"The Diary Of Alicia Keys'" puts Beyonce, Shakira, Underwood, & all of todays female artists from every genre of music in the bargain bin. The album starts with the classical song "Harlem's Nocturne." Her Piano playing is superb, then a choir joins in aided by a fine beat. "Karma," is adriven song that uses Alicia's vocals at their best. "Heartburn," has a good drum beat as her raw vocals compare her lust for a man with the title. "If I Was your Woman/Walk On," is a jazzy version of Isaac Hayes-"Walk On by."
"You Don't Know My Name," is a 1970's finesse ballad. It is a refreshing female version of male angst, the spoken interlude in the middle fits perfectly. "If I Ain't Got You," sounds like a mix of gospel & Aretha Franklin. This may have Alicia's best vocals on this album? The brass behind Alicia's Piano added elegance. "Diary," is a fine gentle song. It sounds like it came off of her debut album. This one was my favorite of her Sophmore album.
"When You Really Love Someone," seems like a cross between "A Woman's Worth & Fallin?" I would call it the former part two. "Wake Up & So Simple" are too familiar & the latter has some annoying sounds. "Slow Down," is reminiscent of Janet Jackson's "Lets Wait Awhile." "Nobody Not Really," is lighter & has a less cloudy or dark feel as if the day was just starting. She wonders who will be interested in this her diary? Obviously, several million to date & with good reason. This is a fine album.
