Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at PhotobucketFor years i have been saying "She is talented...but she ain't ALL THAT...". Well, I have been listening to Alicia Keys' new album "As I Am", and I AM in total aww by the project...this creation...this wonder circle of melodies, bass lines, and honest lyrics. Songs such as "No One" and "I Need You" demonstrate the TRUE LOVE one being would have for another...NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS!! The Tribute her her grandmother on "Tell You Something (Nana's Reprise)" is so poignant...so much feeling in that song. HER vocals and production are outstanding in EVERY last song, both exhibiting a raw purity that just fills me with such joy. (NOT MUCH VOCAL EDITING!!! YAY!!!lol)This album has truly impressed me. HECK now i want her other albums!! lol......i am ashamed that I only saw her as "talented"...now i see her as a force to be reckoned with (along with many others lol) can't see what she does next. I finally take Alicia as she is....BRAVO ALICIA, BRAVO....My Grade: B+ (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!)(Stand out tracks below)"I NEED YOU" (JUST LOVELY)TELL YOU SOMETHING (NANA'S REPRISE)"

  1. 2Serenity says Thank you little bro for the delightful review. This must be my age showing but I have her first two albums which I adore. However, everyone and even my own Momma told me not to buy this album. Before I pass judgment and on your recommendation, I will preview the album online if possible. I appreciate you sharing with me her new hit song via Youtube. For some reason, I am just not "feeling it." Maybe it is because she is growing up and maturing and her image now is sexy and grown. But, I always saw her mature beyond her years with her first two albums. There is no doubt that she is talented as a musician for she actually writes and plays musical instruments, but something for me is not saying "whoa Alicia" this time. Let me stop being judgmental without hearing the entire album so I will do my homework and see if I reconsider my initial reaction. Great post!

  2. Prawler says maybe her managers, production team, the agent who came up with her clever name, her record company, or the musicians who played on the album should get the bravo
