ALICIA KEYS COVERS EBONY + VIDEO OF HER IN THE STUDIO

Tuesday, October 9, 2007

akeysebony.jpg

When she first stepped on the scene, Alicia Keys says she looked “rough around the edges.” But now that’s all changed. Gracing the November issue in a seductive, strawberry-red gown suspended in mid-air, Keys talks about her six-year, secret love and how she overcame depression. The soul sensation says she is back stronger than ever with a newfound confidence as she releases her latest CD, As I Am. Alicia shares with EBONY who she is and reveals to her fans where she is going. Make sure you pick up a copy, in stores now. Alicia is also covering the new issues of Complex & Uptown magazine.

Also, after the cut is a video of Alicia Keys laying down some tracks in the studio. I’m excited to hear her new album.

For more Alicia Keys video and news make sure you check out the Krucial Keys blog. I love how everyone is getting a blog now, it’s making it easier to keep tabs on the stars. lol!

LOVE the dress on the cover. The pose is horrible though. The craned-neck up the nostril shots AREN’T her friend. The hair & makeup isn’t good either. JMO

She is more ladylike now that she has dropped the braids. I don’t like the way she sings “no one” but I like her point.

Alicia Keys is really one of those artist I feel safe to say has staying power she is really naturally talented she has one of those strong voices that doesn’t need computers unlike Rhianna who can’t sing. Alicia looks beautiful. I guess if you are not a big fan of hers it would be because she is intimidating that is why she is with a man who is not intimidated by her success Kerry Krucial. Sometimes people dislike you if you are better meaning prettier, smarter, more successful. In other words ugly women don’t like pretty women you don’t have to do anything wrong they just feel intimidated. Some men only date ugly, dumb women because a pretty, smart, successful, confident woman intimates them.

She looks great….#11..that’s funny…my friends and I were talking about how we also don’t like how she sings in “No One” the other day. I like the classic, motown soulful Alicia…not Reggae Alicia. In “No one”, she sounds like Baby Sham still left his incense in the studio…. Or maybe she recorded “no one” in Jamaica..who knows???

I always thought A. Keys was so-so. Im not a huge fan but I don’t dislike her either. I like her new single and i’m liking her new look. I’ll be picking up her next CD along with this Ebony magazine. I wonder what she was depressed about and hopefuly she has some real tips on how to overcome it casue it’s really hard.

The look is gorgeous. That dress fits her perfectly. Looks very Diana Ross…

Her sound is soooo soothing. I can’t wait til this album drops. “No One” is my morning wake up anthem in between many rounds of Jill Scott’s - “Hate on Me”

So I will be sure to pick up that Ebony!

I loved her look when she first hit the scene minus the acne. Most of these celebrities need to realize that “plain” can be just as beautiful.

I am getting little tired of Ms. Keys weekly magazine spreads, I just hope her album and changed image is more than fluff, and her music is right on point. So pleople so distracted on image that their true talent suffers, hope this is not the case.

She’s very beautiful. This is one of the best covers I’ve seen lately of her. Her hair and make-up and dress was just right. Like I said she’s beautiful anyway. Anybody who disagrees is obviously a hater.

Love this woman so much! Probably too much…

She is so talented, beautiful and intelligent. I’m a hardcore fan. I just hope I don’t become like one of those crazy stans…

Anyways, I will be buying her album the first day it comes out on NOVEMBER 13TH.

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!

SHE IS REALLY EMBRACING HER FEMININE SIDE, AND STEPPING UP HER LOOK-GLAM IS DEFINITELY HER

BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT SHE IS VERSATILE AND COULD DRESS DOWN IN SOME JEANS AND STILL LOOK JUST AS GOOD

SHE LOOKS GREAT AND I HOPE PEOPLE DON’T START TEARING HER APART AND CRITICIZING HER TO DEATH

@ # 10
What do you mean she looks horrible ??? It’s a glamour shot and you probably can’t do any better yourself so save the snide remarks for someone else.

Even though “No one” has already gotten old to me I can’t wait for the next single, and of course I buying the album…now she’s fem in the streets I love it… she’s super hot and she’s classy looking now without the braids (hoodrats take note) she has the R&B game on lock as far as I’m concerned.

Alicia looks great on this cover, and on the inside of the magazine! She is such a pretty lady!

To the people who have issues with “No One” you need to read some of the interviews alicia has been doing. Dig just a little deeper and understand what the girl is doing with her music. From listening to what she has to say about this new album and what is being said on her blog, and by artists like John Mayer this is going to be an album that sets alicia apart even more. She is an artist not just an entertainer. People should recognize the difference. She is using different sounds, different mics, and collaborating with people you wouldn’t expect her to. Can’t wait for the new CD!

She looks beautiful, and the pose is classy, she’s not squatting showing her @$$ to the world. Them nasty Charmed School/Flavor of Love/Rock of Love girls need to be more classy like her.

#36 I don’t get it. It’s called promoting. She is about to drop an album so that means magazines, TV apperances, small shows, etc…
You have to actually read the interviews to get an idea of what the music is gonna be like.

I personally don’t see this as a new image, Alicia is being herself. She has changed and she talks about that in this interview. She isn’t the 19 year old girl from 2001 she is a woman. I’m in need of a full album, I’m sick of all these people who make two good singles then I plop down my $10.54 and get a bunch of crap. 11/13 As I Am!

Ive read alot of comments on how people dont like the way Alcia sings No One and how it sounds “jamacian”, well actually in her bio it states that her father is Jamacian. So I would think she was influenced on that. I think thats her strongest vocal yet. She has a huge thick strong vocal ability and its raw and unique. Atleast she sounds lke herself and she can actually sang..I mean compare her voice with the other r&b female crooners…thats out now…exactly!…shes beautiful,she can sing,her music is talking about something real and it dosent sound like nothing elese out. I like how she dosent work with so many diff. producers that are the it thing b/c she will end up sounding like everybody elese begging for a hit!..Alicia is going to be around a long time and shes a true talented star who sales records without having to take off her clothes…well Im out! Peace

Wow Alicia is really doing her thing. I’m proud of her. If your reading this Alicia, be carefull. Promoting your last album I peeped how you was trying to let things slip out. Don’t do it, people are so ignorant. You know what I’m talking about. Anyway, feeling the new track…can’t wait for the album.

>>>>>>>> EXACTLY!!! This is a natural evolution from young girl to young woman. It was bound to happen. She evolved like any normal individual would. And TY is RIGHT, Alicia’s father is jamaican, the influence is definitely here….
