Alicia Keys is arguably one of the greatest and most gifted talents to emerge this century.

Product Description

CD Description

Twelve-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys' The Element of Freedom includes single, “Doesn’t Mean Anything”, written and produced by Alicia and her longtime production partner Kerry “Krucial” Brothers. Alicia describes The Element of Freedom as a dichotomy of strength and vulnerability with the music really strong, drums aggressive, yet her voice vulnerable and delicate. The album includes "Empire State Of Mind (Part II)", a sequel to the hometown anthem and her second collaboration with hip-hop superstar Jay-Z. It’s her own version and includes a new verse from Jay-Z. In addition to Brothers, the singer/songwriter/producer enlists the production talents of Jeff Brasker (Kanye West, Keri Wilson). The deluxe edition DVD features intimate studio performances of "Doesn’t Mean Anything", "Empire State of Mind (Part II)" "Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart", "No One" and the music video of "Doesn’t Mean Anything".

Superb Album 'again' 13 Jan 2010
Format:Audio CD
There is always a concern when buying a new album from an artist who has consistently produced fantastic albums. Is the new album going to be a dissapointment? Not quite achieving previous musical brilliance or just too similar to the last CD to be worthwhile. No worries in this instance. A fantastic collection of songs yet again by the superb Alicia Keys.

First listening I thought it a bit samey, piano heavy (I know, she's a pianist) and anodyne. It is a grower though and has some stand-out emotionally depthy songs.

Alicia is a superb singer, but there are only one or two tracks on this album that really grab you.

Great CD lovely singing
Bought for the "empire state of mind" track, but there are many good ones and her voice is unique and very enjoyable. The DVD is a bonus and makes for some entertaining viewing.
