Although Alicia Keys has always given me great singles on previous albums, I am absolutely loving her this time around. From her image, to her material, I think that she’s doing what it do on her third studio album, As I Am. Her soulful sound and glam look are a great combination. Ever since her promo pictures were released earlier over the summer, I knew that Alicia Keys was going for something different and matured her look. And even though it took a while for the powerful single, “No One,” to grow on me, it finally has, and I’m loving it.

There really aren’t any uptempo tracks to be spoken about on Alicia’s new album, but it still rocks for me. This time around, I think Alicia has really put out a solid project with some good material. Stand out tracks include the two singles, “No One,” “Like You’ll Never See Me Again,” “Go Ahead,” and one of my personal favorites, “Thing About Love.”

Be sure to pick up your copy of Alicia Keys’ third studio work, As I Am in stores next Tuesday, November 13th!
