Free Music Notes for The Diary of Alicia Keys
Free Music Review: The Diary of A.K.
Hit: 5 Stars
Sticking with the soul circuit, one album I have kept in my CD player for months has been Miss Alicia Keys' second effort "The Diary of Alicia Keys." What a wonderfully done album and a superb example of how to grow from one album to the next. Miss Keys flows as beautifully as her name. All facets of this talent has blossomed tremendously from her debut, which was a masterpiece in its own right. What really gets me with Alicia Keys is her inevitable ability to blend classic piano training with crazy hot hip-hop beats that somehow results in a great sonic balance that appeals to all. Even her dabble with old soul classics are brillantly revived in a way that is respectful of the original, but has crazy modern appeal. Only true talent can exude such excellence in its craft. As track #3 says, "Go 'head girl". Recommendation: A must-get if you love R&B soul music. A definite if you want to relive Alicia's brillance from her first album.

hands down to alicia keys again.. some artists are fake like britney spears.. actually i can't even rate alicia keys in the same catagory as her because britney spears could never compare to alicia keys.. not only is she beautiful but she has the true talent to back it up... have you heard her sing live?? well i haven't but you can sure as hell believe i would be first one in line to buy her tickets if she ever came to calgary.. listen to her music.. listen to her words and you'll understand why alicia keys has so much hype surrounding her.. like she said.. watch her when she's 31.. 41... and 51 she'll still be around.. this woman is so talented.. writes her own music, own lyrics.. plays the piano and sings at the same time.. unsurpassed.. if you're debating whether or not to buy her album.. you're a fool.. and don't buy it.. because if you have to debate.. you don't have enough love for her talent to buy her cd in the first placeFree Music Review: Diary Worth Reading

This is what I wrote with regards to A.Keys album on Dec.2nd 2003
Alicia Keys is back with her sophmore album titled "Diary". Yet again she has proved that she is no gimmick. Ms. Keys has proven that she is such a true lyricist, a true performer...a true everything. Songs such as "Diary", "If I Ain't Got You", and "Karma", tells a tale that she is a woman-"lord knows its hard". Alicia's first single "You Don't Know My Name" was produced by Chicago's own Kanye West. Mesmirized by her mellonic tone and sculpture of words, voice and music, her fans will watch as her career grows. Clive Davis was searching for a long lasting artist...he did not know that he also found an angel.
Well today, I will still stay by my words. She is why I continue to strive for my aspirations for being in the business (corporate wise). She is a great performer and her album is still worth the listen. If you don't have it, get it!
Free Music Review: Amazing!
Hit: 5 Stars
This album is absolutely amazing. This is REAL music. This is what every music artist should strive for. A near-flawless album, every song carefully expressed with such power, it's impossible to resist. Keys brings back the classy, intellectual R&B and showcases it with songs like "Harlem Nocturne", "Wake Up", "If I was your Woman", "If I Ain't Got You" and the radio-favorite, "You Don't Know My Name".
Keys has many modern-day R&B songs, like "Karma", "Dragon Days", "Heartburn" and "Slow Down". Still, even with the harder dance beats, she stays true to herself, giving all her songs real soul and emotion.
Alicia Keys is what many have been waiting for; a soulful, energetic, classy singer with inexplicable talent. Her voice, even when only speaking, is smoother than glass. One of the best artists of this century.
Free Music Review: A Classic Worth Waiting For
Hit: 5 Stars
For R&B, this is a CLASSIC. Alicia's latest effort is better than SIAM. This CD shows a lot of growth and potential. This is R&B in it's purest form, or as close as you're going to get from a contemporary artist. Most of her peers are closer to Hip-Hop than Aretha Franklin or Stevie Wonder.I'm almost 30 and I was fortunate to see Sammy Davis Jr. Live when he came to Detroit. So I can definitely appreciate Alicia's direction with this album. I remember Marvin Gaye, and that sound is exactly what we're missing from this generation of R&B recording artists. Alicia is helping to fill that void, but there aren't a lot of others like her.
Please open your eyes and ears and give Alicia's new CD a chance. Her CD is more modern, but it feels timeless. She really does have a lot of talent. I just hope one day we will learn to recognize those with truly unique gifts.
