    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A eu simplesmente amei esse álbum, dois mil e vinte se tornou um ano caótico. Apesar disso, cada álbum lançando me dá uma sensação esperança e de que tudo ha de melhorar. e esse álbum me dá essa sensação, além de paz, calma e felicidade.
    Esse álbum só tem faixas boas, não há nada de ruim nele. Alicia merece mais reconhecimento, espero que esse álbum seja indicado em alguma categoria do Grammy, com certeza ele merece.    … Expand

    Alicia returns to her true form! The album is her best since As I Am. Authors Of Forevers, 3 Hour Drive, & You Save Me are top tier tracks!

    Um dos melhores albuns de R&B do ano de 2020. É muito gratificante ver uma artista como Alicia lançando material tão coeso.

    The album is beautiful. Each song is so different yet the all go together is such a beautiful. Her voice sounds incredible and the lyrics are so meaningful.

    I didn't like this album at all. Honestly, a piece of nothing. I love Alicia. But this album is nothing.

    Amazing! ALICIA é uma viagem muito especial pelo R&B/Blues, com várias facetas, mas extremamente denso e coerente!

    Whatever you expect of an Alicia Keys album, to truly enjoy #ALICIA u must have an open mind.

    I think she's finally figured out how to sound like herself within contemporary music.

    She's perfect in all the R&B joints - there's no room to question but has also obviously evolved.

    This album is not as lyrically strong as her others but sonically

    Alicia Keys is a household name in the industry, and with this album she shows us why. Afete almost 20 years since her debut album, she is still at the top of her game! Great songs with unique compositions.

    What would R&B be without Alicia Keys? ALICIA bring to 2020 the excellence of the genre, and reminds us who she is and what she can do. Even though the album has been filled with some average songs and the featured artists barely bring nothing to the table, it has the personality and beautiful vocals.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Eu diria que é um álbum completo! Inspirador, empoderador, acertivo e digno da Alicia Keys. Apesar da repercussão não tão grandiosa, o lançamento de estúdio da cantora mostrou que ela permanece sendo uma das maiores artistas de todos os tempos, com originalidade e despreocupada com o topo dos charts. O álbum ALICIA merecia mais aclamação e visibilidade, porque ele não é apenas sobre a Keys. Ele é também sobre as pessoas que precisam de inspirações diárias para prosseguirem em suas vidas apesar das dificuldades.… Expand

    Alicia's first studio album in four years, Keys' manages to provide a consistent body of work that is mainly mended to fit around her vocals and the artists who feature in certain songs. Although not so heartfelt as 2016's political outcry HERE for racial justice, ALICIA does manage to create plenty of heartwarming tunes and semi-anthemic tracks such as "Wasted Energy" and meaningfulAlicia's first studio album in four years, Keys' manages to provide a consistent body of work that is mainly mended to fit around her vocals and the artists who feature in certain songs.

    The spaciousness allows Keys to let her nuanced, versatile voice do the talking like never before. All this makes Keys’ seventh studio album her best, and finds her easing up on the obvious hooks and pushing the limits of her voice and imagination.

    Alicia offers its listeners with the ultimate microcosm of the singer’s discography thus far, re-positioning Keys as a force to be reckoned in today’s musical landscape.

    Relying on her exquisitely malleable voice, slickly inventive production tics, and winning vocal support from south London's Sampha and Tanzania's Diamond Platnumz, among others. [Nov 2020, p.80]
