Alicia Keys In Entertainment Weekly
R&B songstress Alicia Keys talked to Entertainment Weekly about her new album As I Am, and a few personal struggles she’s had as of late.
A. Keys on her 2006 emotional breaking point as a close family member fell ill with cancer: “It made me finally stop. Nothing else was more important – no work, no costumes, no anything. I was forced to slow down, look at my life, and decide who I wanted to be. It all got very low at first because I was very depressed and I didn’t understand why.”
A. Keys on her month-long solo trip to Egypt: “It gave me a new sense of power, freedom, creativity, and limitlessness. When I came back [to New York], I was so much more clear. I didn’t want to feel so closed and internal. I wanted to enjoy life and explore the possibilities of life. And that’s when I started doing music for this album.”
I’m so excited to illegally download buy her new album!
