  • Ebro Darden sits down with Alicia Keys to discuss her eighth studio album, ‘KEYS.’ The record combines Alicia Keys’ original sound with the new styles she has been waiting to share with the world and features the production of icons like Mike WiLL Made-It. Together the pair go song by song, talking about the inspirations behind tracks like “Plentiful," “LALA,” and “Nat King Cole.” Alicia Keys explains that this album is meant to encapsulate the energy of New York, and embodies her spirit as an artist.

    Radio presenter from SA. I keep tabs on presenters across the globe and Ebro is just flippen phenomenal! This was a masterclass on how to interview. Love this man.
    Then there's Ms Keys! Oh man! I listen to all your projects like a Bible. Alicia was a masterpiece, HERE was insane, I listen to Elements of Freedom at least once a month. Keys is on repeat at home and in my ears when jogging. It is exactly what I needed musically right now. Keep going, we got you. Love from SA

Im going to see her in Mexico City in a few weeks (her first latin tour this 2023) and Im doing the homework of investigate how is her trying to express herself in this point of her life. Im sure that show will be UNFURGETTABLE. Love you Alicia.

    I like Alicia Keys. She's around my age. I feel good saying Alicia and I are around the same age. I think she's a very talented musician! I noticed when she said, "I want to be me more now not someone else." Amen to that she's in a good place and so am I. I feel comfortable in my own skin. I think Alicia's a success as herself.

    One thing about females they always had a way to cover up things to make their male companion feel like they are great. So they can look great in the eyes of others. I remember hearing a female tell their male companion that they could do that also, and better, but why did she had to say that. When he should have feel it on his own, but so how it never came until the female made the suggestion. Which is so strange because one will see that all the time the female pushing the male to be greater than they want to be on their own. Then once they discover the power within that they got the motivation from, most start to live the betrayal life. Only allow one to see that our design is poison because it bring the worst out when the best of what the system want to come out of us. That more acting is play than anything else that we adjust to, and don't feel ashamed about it. When one always been in front of the female, by helping her get ahead, it's so easy to see when a female pushing her mate to complete with what she see something another male is doing. No matter how big, or small it may be, they just like to put their mate in something others can see. That became a society we build without thinking about what it was creating for the humans life to be.

    Alicia has always been herself so why is now so much different.
    Is this just a come back,for publicity.
    Alicia has been saying all of this ,all along.
    She and Jada Smith sound alike.
    This is like ,Lauren Hill, Tracy Chapman,Lisa Bonet, Phylica Rashard, Debbie Allan, Roberta Flack,Aretha Franklin and so many who are saying the same thing.
    What is with Oprah.
    , and Alicia and all these entertainers acting like what they are saying is new
    They have been saying this for generations!!!
