Jul 9, 2022KEYS is Alicia Keys' Greatest Album and one of the best R&B albums of all time. The fact there are two versions of most songs give the listener a chance to either love one version or the other if they didn't like the first version they heard. It's always good to have the same songs have different production as it may give a new aspect or feeling for a song for all the good reasons.

Dec 12, 2021An extraordinary journey after ALICIA, the turning point, KEYS, which opens the door to two new worlds, three or a thousand. Lovely ballads, an overwhelming piano and a lot of grit. The writing and composing skills of this artist have no limits. It is not to be listened to, but to be experienced.

Dec 12, 2021Top notch from Alicia. The piano is in full force on this album, which is when Alicia is at her best. Vocals soar and as you make it to the unlocked side (which isn't as perfect as the originals side) takes most of the songs to either a new level or gives you a different view. Keys is among your top 3 albums.

Dec 22, 2021Disc one is essentially a standard Alicia Keys LP, while the second disc is an album of remixes plus two more new songs. ... The latter half's new songs are two of the album's higher-profile collaborations: a tentative-sounding missed opportunity with Khalid and Lucky Daye, and an intoxicated duet with Swae Lee where Tyrone Davis' coasting 1979 hit "In the Mood" does most of the work.

Dec 13, 2021Literate and honest, it doesn’t always connect, yet with 90 minutes of music to explore it’s a project that demands time and patience to truly absorb.

Dec 13, 2021There’s enough across both albums to keep fans happy, and that soulful voice is still a thing of wonder, but Keys has a strange hotchpotch feel to it.
