Alicia Keys Discusses Latest Studio Album ‘KEYS’

Icon Alicia Keys has done it again with her latest project KEYS, a continuation of her 2020 album ALICIA. This project pays homage to her roots as a classically-trained pianist. KEYS is a double-sided album that comes with its set of original songs like “Skydive,” “Best Of Me,” “Nat King Cole,” “Old Memories,” “Come For Me,” and “LALA.” Alica has also amped up the sonics with an unlocked version of the album. It was produced by herself alongside Mike WiLL Made-It, features from Lil Wayne, Swae Lee, Pusha T, Lucky Daye, Khalid, and Brandi Carlile.

Alicia Keys stated: “There’s a homecoming aspect on KEYS. Obviously, I started on the piano, [and] that is a big part of who I am as an artist. I’m really coming back to that center. I’ve been saying that’s my lane, and I’m just owning it. I’m driving in it…The message is kind of coming back to yourself and really just being unafraid to be completely who you are, to be fresh, to be beautiful, to be sensual, to be powerful, and to be what you actually are. A lot of times, we’re made to feel like we have to hold it back or dim it down or whatever we do, and so KEYS is really about being just extremely unstoppable. That’s the invitation and I love it.”
