I am actually feeling “Like You’lll never see me again”, the lyrics are hot!!! I just started like “no one”…not a fan of A.keys at all but those songs are growing on me.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOVE ALICIA!

I’ll be buying that album

I haven’t listened to her cd yet, but so far I like what I’ve heard. I just may have to cop it!

“Like You’ll Never See Me Again” is a nice song!

Both songs are nice, especially the first. Something nice & mellow to listen to.

November 13th! November 13th! November 13th!

Go Alicia! The hottest chick in the game!

It is improvement over her other albums…the writing is good, not to sure about the singing. There is a way too much screaming and vocal strain going on

damnnnnnnnn u ppl get here quick. I can neva b the first to post on here!!!!!!

i love this song. i like the snare in the hook.
this album better have nothing but new joints,
i was kinda dissappointed in her last one seeing that she just redid all of her songs from the second album.

TALENT ROCKS! ALICIA KEYS HAS DONE IT AGAIN. MOST ORIGINAL AND LYRICALLY ACCLAIMED BALLADS ALL IN ONE ALBUM.

ok “lesson learned” to me is the best song i’ve heard from her out of this album. thank god she’s not completely lost. and her writing has gotten better. i’ll give her that

What do you mean, “This time around, I think Alicia has really put out a solid project with some good material.” Are her other projects not solid in your opinion? If that’s what you mean ::flavor flav voice:: woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow!

I love every single one of Alicia’s albums. From Songs in A Minor to Unplugged but this one takes the cake for me. She really delivered. Her collaborations are sick! Linda Perry and John Mayer really lend a great sound to this album. There are no generic, for-the-moment trends in the production. This is an album you will listen to years from now and it’ll still evoke the same emotion and you won’t have to be embarrassed playing it because you won’t have the “producer of the moment sound is played out” problem. If you want an album you’re gonna bump in the car before the club, dance your ass off to, help you find a new dance, help you find what to drink or where because there so much damn name dropping going on, THIS ALBUM IS NOT FOR YOU! But if you want real, passionate, honest, GOOD MUSIC, pick this album up!

The 2 songs posted up are among my favorites.

Corrections from last post: wear* not where, there’s* not there.

One of the few artists I actually support

Go Alicia!!! She is talented and beautiful and a true role model!!! She proves that you dont have to show everything to be sexy!! Your true TALENT will shine through regardless!

wasnt that like you’ll never see me again song posted a couple weeks ago?

either way its still hotttt! And I will be picking that CD up next week NO BOOTLEGS HERE!!!

I was hearing this song on the radio for sometime now and I like it better than that whinning a$$ “No One.” It has yet to grow on me and more than likely it will not.

Alicia cannot be stopped, real R&B at its best!

I love “Lesson Learned”. I heard it last night and fell in love with it. I’ll definitely be in line next week getting “As I Am”.

I love Alicia!…She’s so talented…
Like You’ll Never See Me Again is my shit…
I honestly haven’t bought a CD in many years…but I will be getting a copy of this!

I listened to entire album over at The Leak on MTV and I must say that it is one of the best I have heard this year. The r&b love is so good. Chrisete, Jill, Keyshia - now Alicia - I really do love it.

Alicia has touch on something that has been missing! She has some mid tempo joint like “Go Ahead” but other than that it has a solid soul and jazzy feel to it! I love it! I love “Go Ahead”, “Lesson Learned”, “Thing About Love” and “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” - but I listened to the entire CD and I did not want to skip ahead on any tracks!

She def is getting my money come Nov 13th!

LOVE Alicia. I have noticed that even if i don’t like her production or track I ALWAYS love her lyrics. She’s great. The only real female artist out right now.

This song has a Prince feel to me..don’t know if I like it yet but we’ll see

@ 20

I haven’t bought a cd in a long time too LOL! I only buy cd’s from artists I know make good music.

I swear Alicia is the truth. She is everything from Stevie Wonder to Gladys Knight, to Aretha Franklin to Sarah Vaughn to Nina Simone to Prince with a lil’ Nikki Giovanni thrown in along with the beauty of Lena Horne. Can’t wait for the album to drop, I think it will be her best work yet.

yeah i think people are real stupid. alicia has always been hot..her first album showed the depressing side of life, the 2nd showed her romantic side of life..and this album is going to show the after effects of love that hurts….she may strain at times but who doesn’t..no one is perfect not even beyonce! ha i said it….but on da real tip alicia has upped her writing skills………

LOL I have NEVER put a KEYS on on my ipod Until the Song NO One Came out soo That lets me Know Im really buying this Album…not really an alicia fan but I cant Deny Great music EVER…so i will be gettin as i am and American gangsta by Jay-z Lata Yall

well I dl`d the cd. . and i am disappointed the only good songs are . .

No One
Like You`ll Never See Me Again
Lesson Learned
Wreckless Love
Tell You Something

WOW. I’m not really an Alicia Keys fan. I’ve enjoyed some of her songs but I mostly find her voice to sound incredibly strained and annoying. “No one” has been a torture to listen to because it’s exactly the kind of straining that has made her more of a nuisance than a respectable artist in my book. BUT WOW! I love this song, it’s absolutely incredible, heart-felt, it was beautiful and such a refreshing love song. She has seriously outdone herself and her contemporaries with this one. “Like you’ll never see me again” is so rich with feeling - I really love it.

It’s Nice to see only positive reviews about this Black Woman.
no one is beefing this morning…..

That’s a good thing !

And i agree with SLIMTING, I always like her lyrics too which would make you think that she could be a poet but her poetry book is AWFUL. It’s so awful I was actually shocked she had the audacity to publish it and call that corny, semi-tribute to Dr. Seuss ala romance poetry. She should definitely stick to lyric writing, it’s definitely her forte.

I love this song! I heard it a few weeks ago and fell in love with it. I am SO getting this CD next week.

Bill Said:
Wow..That’s a DEEP review.
Time will reveal……..

Absolutely love Lessons Learned, saw that one on another site yesterday.

Love Alicia, but I have to hear at least 2 more songs before I buy the CD, she kinda sounds like she’s straining sometimes and that’a a little irratating. Her vocals on “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” leave much to be desired. Halfway through I wanted to turn it off.

I love this song and No One, but the rest of the album is garbage. I was surprised because Alicia always comes with it, I still listen to her first two albums regularly. But I just couldn’t get into this one and won’t be purchasing it.

The whole album is on mtv.com if anyone wants to hear it.

Did I miss something? Are you guys being paid? That cd is boring as hell. It’s another tired retread from a girl who not an ounce of originality in her. Don’t believe me…listen to “No One” then listen to the Black Eyed Peas’ “Where is the Love.” It’s the same damn song. I’m sick of this hack being lauded as a “real” artist when all she does is jack songs from better songwriters.

I can’t wait!!!

OMG, Lesson Learned is even better, she’s 2 for 2 today, lol. Go Alicia!

-cosigns with #36

I guess I spoke to soon….
Well, at least people are being honest and subjective in their reviews.

Brian are you gay ? (no homo)

HEY BRIAN DID YOU JUST REVIEW THE ALBUM BASED ON WHAT THEY PUT ON MTV THE LEAK??? COZ THAT DAMN SITE DOESN’T INCLUDE TWO SONGS ONE OF WHICH IS “TEENAGE LOVE AFFAIR” WHICH, FROM THE PREVIEW, I CAN TELL IS OFF THE HOOK!!!! THAT’S MY JAM RIGHT THERE BUT WATEVER EVEN BASED ON THE 12 TRACKS THIS ALBUM IS DAMN AMAZING

MY FAVs:
NO ONE
LIKE YOU’LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN
WRECKLESS LOVE
I NEED YOU
SUPERWOMAN
THE THING ABOUT LOVE

DAMN THATS LIKE MORE THAN HALF THE ALBUM LOL IMMA COP THAT CD NEXT WEEK I STAN FOR ALICIA!!!!

Superwoman is hott, & Wreckless Love are my favs, also the 2 singles. THis album is definately amazing, but i wish she through in another interlude, I’ve always been partial to her into & Interludes. && I’m kinda gettin sick of 10-12 song Cds. What’s up W/ That?

I sholl can’t spell.. hahah! it’s too early, &&I’m in class! haha

I LOVE THIS SONG. I WENT 2 C MY EX LAST WEEKEND AND I KIND OF DEDICATE THIS SONG 2 SEEING HIM AND THE TIME THAT WE SHARED. CORNY I KNOW, BUT HEY THATS LOVE.

watch out for Wreckless Love. it is……………man. no words for it right now.
to be honest with you, listening to this album, makes me feel like i’m sitting in on a private jam session. that’s the vibe i get. very laidback….very natural….and personal. even though this may be a studio album, it surely doesn’t feel like it.

alicia………….don’t know how you did it again……but congratulations on an AMAZING album.

I’m getting mixed feelings from reading this comments and just from the songs I’ve heard. I know I hated “No One” but these two joints right here are cool. Guess I can check them out on MTV but either way it will be a bootleg….

oh and that song would be “like you’ll never see me again” my bad (banging on my keyboard!!) that love is powerful!

Love, Love, Love it!!! Now this is the AK I know. I like the lyrics to No One but her voice throws me off. These two songs just proved that she’s baaaaaack! Go girl!

I am purchasing this CD come 11/13 with no hesitation! I haven’t listened to all the songs yet but I went to a show Alicia did in Atlanta last night and let me just say she is AMAZING! Teenage Love Affair is really really a great song it makes you reminisce and has this old school vibe but Alicia makes it fresh. It isn’t on the MTV Leak but she sing it last night. Let me just say Superwoman is about to be the new anthem for women! I can’t wait to bump this CD in my car. The drums on I Need You are crazy then she mellows it out with the piano at the end. Go Ahead is another anthem you can tell Alicia loves that song when she performs it she rocks out big time! Another favorite of mine is Tell You Something (Nanas Reprise) Alicia lost her grandmother during the past year and you can tell that song was written as she was going through that period and it is really touching! Anyone not PURCHASING this CD just ain’t right in the head! LOL

Hands down Alicia Keys is and has been the best female artist in the game since she came out……………wait (puts hand in the air)………….I don’t care what you have to say because I’m telling the truth. Alicia stepped it up this time around, but Diary of Alicia Keys and Songs in A Minor were in no way lackluster. She’s just grown as an artist is supposed to do therefore she’s improved her artistry. And for all of you saying her writing has gotten better……….What are you talking about? Has it not been on point in the past, was she talking about fighting Chrisette Michele at Clive Davis’ Grammy party on her previous album? No! Everything she has EVER put out has been above the competition. All of her works are amazing including unplugged. A .MFN Keys already killed everybody in the year 2007. There is no album that came out this year that is better……….And she will out sell every album that has and will drop this year!!!!!! LELLOW HAS DONE IT AGAIN. KILLIN YALL WITH THE MUSIC!! November 13th it’s going DAOWN!!

“Like you’ll never see me again” is so damn hot. The first time that I heard this song on concrete I fell in l love with it then it was removed. Now it’s back on and I have been playing it out. I can’t wait to her CD comes out. This track is hot!

She knocked “Like You’ll Never See Me Again” out the park. It’s rare that a song will captivate me to the point that I’ll play it twice in a row. I’ve listened to this one 6 times. She’s killing it.

I love what I’ve heard so far from Alicia. Can’t wait to get the new album.
She is one of the few naturally “talented” R&B artist that we have out currently. Like you’ll never see me again is da shiznit. I’ve played it a million times this weekend.

OOh Alicia disappointed this time with this one. Her singing is really strained this time around. Oh well better luck next time.

No one has grown on me. I like Alicia

LOL @#56’s avatar! You need to quit!

I don’t know if you going off of that MTV Leak thats missing 2 songs, but there ARE uptempo songs on this album. Go Ahead, Teenage Love Affair, I Need You and Where Do We Go From Here? are all mid to up tempo.

But the whole album in general is amazing! the experimentation with the mic’s, the vocals and the instrumentation is like nothing i’ve heard this year. I remember Alicia saying she was worried people would get her on this album. I get her… and i love it!!!

i agree with the person who said “no one” sounds like “where is the love”. that’s why i can’t get into it. i feel like a lot of her songs have been done before but ppl will eat it up. she’s almost as packaged as the dimwits in the industry (riri and co.) except she’s a really good pianist

I swear I must agree with you MOSHUN, Ashley, MAIO3, AND MS TANNA!

Anyone judging rather they will buy this album based only on NoOne is cheating themselves and I am just sorry you won’t get to appreciate this album. Listen to the vocals on Superwoman, on Tell You Something. Check out how I Need You is arranged. Did you get the message behind Like You’ll Never See Me and Thing About Love? I for one am an AK fan all the way after getting hooked on Diary like crack I went back and got hooked on her first CD and saw the girl live so it was a wrap for me. Then she had the nerve to do an unplugged CD that made the songs fresh again! I mean really if you have PURCHASED not bootlegged but PURCHASED anything this year and you liked it but you turn around and say As I Am isn’t worth PURCHASING…it just doesn’t add up, it isn’t logical, it makes no sense, it is ludicris, I don’t believe you, you need more people!

i like this song but im not sure i like it for a second symbol, i want something more bold from her…watecer that means…i know shes rnb but tracks like Karma for alicia are few and i like that sound from her…idk, im still a fan

@#28 KI….HOW CAN YOU BE DISPPOINTED?

NAME ONE ARTIST THIS YEAR OR LAST YEAR WHO RELEASED AN ALBUM THAT HAD MORE THAN 5 GOOD SONGS… NOT ONE….

I ALSO REVIEWED THE CD ON MTV, AND I’M LOVING THE ENTIRE ALBUM..

I SEE GRAMMIES FOR ALISHA KEYS, CHRISETTE MICHELE AND JILL SCOTT
(ALBUM OF THE YEAR) !!!!

OMG!! THIS IS WHY SHE AND JOHN LEGEND ARE MY FAVORITE TWO ARTISTS!!

LESSON LEARNED MADE ME SHED A TEAR BECAUSE I CAN RELATE TO THE LYRICS IN THAT SONG SO MUCH!

PEOPLE DON’T BOOTLEG THIS PROJECT! SUPPORT REAL MUSIC…REAL ARTISTRY!!

i liked alicia when she came out and have been a fan of hers since, but the song ‘no one’ has yet to affect me, i mean i love her and everything she does but that ONE song irks the hell out of me, and i like the lyrics and the beat but i don’t like the style she chose to sing it i guess thats all i can think of as to why i don’t care for the song, but it’s hot and ppl love it so there u go.

her album cover is cute, the W girl side is realling coming through for a change (not a bad thing to my stupids)

john mayer is on “Lesson Learned” yall should have said so , so people dont think its some crazy dude…. I love the song though

I’M GETTING THIS CD!!!! GO ALICIA:)

Beyonce cannot compare to Alicia!! Alicia got her hands down. No if ,and,or, but about it!!

I LOVE THIS, “I DON’T WANNA FORGET THE PRESENT IS GIFT” LYRICS FOR DAYS.

I was not always a fan but when she put out the second cd I thought there is something special about this girl. I was totally amazed by her talent.

Applause to Alicia for this record. I am absolutely in love with this record. It’s passionate and it shows growth from her previous albums (not to say that they weren’t good because they were). I am IN LOVE with “Like You’ll Never See Me Again,” “Lesson Learned,” & “Wreckless Love” and I will most def. pick up the album in stores on November 13th.

Does anyone have “Teenage Love Affair?”

“Lesson Learned”….Alicia Keys + John Mayer? I’m lovin that collabo

I will be buying the album and prolly many others cause when some people said they hate “no one” it still went number one and got major love. Alicia always made good music to me. Gotta luv her.

i like them but the first one sounds familiar
