Captioning her reflection on Instagram of Alicia, Oprah writes, “I remember the first time Alicia Keys was on The Oprah Show and she hit that note in “Fallin” and I knew right then and there she was special.” “She just carries the light with her and I have deep admiration and love for her. In her new book More Myself, she reveals the struggles, the insecurities, and the joys to becoming more herself,” she continues.
