Nov 28, 2012Her vocal style and musicianship get better and better with each album. I would have assumed that a pop artist like her would get more and more generic, but instead she keeps pouring out her heart in new and creative ways. The way she hits those keys and uses that voice is just unbelievable.

Dec 1, 2012I enjoyed this album very much. Its creative and interesting, while going back to her roots at the same time. Her vocals, as usual, are amazing and dynamic. Im a huge fan of Alicia Keys, but bad song writing, and over the top poppy producing seem to get in the way of simply enjoying her voice. This time around I can say it is Alicia Keys who shines through, and she has never sounded better.

Nov 29, 2012fresh, cool, I love the album: it's the first time I listen to an AK album entirely. my favorite songs are New Day, When It's All Over & Brand New Me. I love Jazz, and there's a Jazzy mood in this album. I love it !
There's no low point; I enjoyed each song; It's great when an artist can have its own direction like that. -
Dec 13, 2012From the intimacy of NEAK, BNM, and 101 to the midtempos of When Its All Over, Listen to Your Heart, and Limitedless, GOF gives its listeners everything and then some. Perfect album from an amazing musician. I couldnt ask for more, but maybe more songs!

Dec 13, 2012Alicia once again, prove why is one of the most and greatest artists of new generation... This album is amazing. Every track... every lyric... it's crazy!! We felling the emotion of his voice. She's so wonderful... I love her.
My favorite song? ALL, for sure. -
Nov 27, 2012Such a lovely album and breathe of fresh air , the singles are by far the weakest tracks on the album ,stand out tracks are "One Thing" , "When Its all Over" , "Fire We Make" and "Brand New Me"

Nov 28, 2012I really like it. It is totally beautiful Alicia Keys awesomeness. Well written songs paired with a few songs catered for the radio.The critics must be tripping on something.

Nov 27, 2012I like this album, great songs, Keys comes with kinda of different sound (like New Day, Girl on fire, Limitedless), but she sounds good on slower-piano ballads: Like Brand new me, listen your heart, fire we make, Not Even the King...

Feb 1, 2013Many beautiful songs such as "One Thing" "Brand New Me" "That's when I knew" really keep me spellbound. AK's got a great voice and gives a good vocal performance on this album although I think she can do better. But there are also some real boring and sleepy tracks like "limitedless" and "Listen to your heart". But still, it's a enjoyable album.

Apr 27, 2013Good album from very talented Alicia, i liked it. It was not as amazing as some of her previous work, but still good. Girl on fire is the best song, even with Nicki Minaj, and Brand new me is also very good.
