It took a long time for “No One” to grow on me, but I appreciate and love it now. But this song is beautiful to me, I really have a strong affinity for it. It’s probably the heavy Prince influence. “Like You’ll Never See Me Again,” to me, is different from anything that Alicia Keys has done. I feel like with As I Am, Alicia Keys is musically touching uncharted territory for her. It seems as though she’s experimenting with sounds that were untouched on Songs In A Minor and Diary. I can tell, even in live performances of some of the new material, that Alicia is trying some new things, which I’m happy about. As I Am hits stores November 13th, and “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” is rumored to to be the second single.

Be on the look out for more information on Alicia’s third studio album, As I Am. Also, make sure you pick up your copy of the new album on November 13th.
