This is a record that will happen to you, and when it clicks, the realisation that As I Am is a genuine classic is overwhelming.
-
As I Am radiates not just confidence but also experience. On the whole it’s her strongest effort yet.
-
Keys isn't quite a superwoman come to save R&B from itself, but the timeless quality of As I Am is right on time.
-
Alicia Keys’ third studio album is an exercise in tightening the screws.
-
Despite substantial input from Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, the rapper boyfriend Keys says she made wait a year to get down, the prevailing mood is reflectively soulful and the prevailing tempo mid.
-
As I Am sees the piano songstress breaking free of her saccharine chains and delivering a streetwise, smoky set of real soul.
-
Without any clever arrangements or production gimmicks to rely on, Keys tries to compensate for the obvious shortcomings by oversinging each syllable in a way that would make Patti LaBelle cringe.
