Milan Zrnic

Singer-songwriter Alicia Keys has just released an album with 15 new tracks.

The R&B/Soul artist recently announced the arrival of her new self titled album ALICIA to fans and expressed her excitement about sharing the many different sides of her through her new music. This is the seventh album we have seen from Keys, but the thrill of its drop has the artist “excited like it’s the first time.”

This is the singer’s first album release in four years and this new album has been long-awaited by fans after it’s initial March release was delayed due to COVID-19. A few of the tracks from the album have been released as singles, including “Show Me Love,” which was released just last fall, and “Underdog,” which quickly reached number one on the iTunes charts. Another powerful song that was released is called “Perfect Way to Die” in which Keys painfully addresses systematic racism.

ALICIA has several impressive collaborations on its tracklist as well, with features from artists such as Miguel, Khalid, Tierra Whack, and Snoh Aalegra. The album is filled with raw emotion, vulnerability, truth, and love. The album is expected to do very well and has already reached number one in 18 different countries.

Get to know the artist on a deeper level by streaming her new album ALICIA. Additionally, be sure to keep an eye out for Keys in the new upcoming Netflix series called Song Exploder which will be available to watch on October 2.
