Alicia Keys - Alicia

Alicia is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Alicia Keys, released in September 2020 via RCA Records.

A few songs from the album have already been released as singles from the album including the recent release “So Done” featuring Khalid and the smash hit “Underdog,” which was released in January 2020. Keys performed the song, which earned both BET and MTV VMA nominations this winter, during her critically praised hosting stint at this year’s GRAMMYs ceremony.

In late 2019, Keys offered the first sampling of her new self title album with “Show Me Love,” featuring Miguel. The song earned Keys a record-extending 11th number 1 on the Billboard Adult R&B Songs airplay chart.

The album, which shows the many sides of Alicia at this current point in time of her life journey, is also preceded by three other masterful tracks: “Time Machine”, a supersonic four-on-the-floor anthem about the freedom that comes with letting go; “Good Job”, a powerful ballad praising unsung heroes and frontline workers, which premiered in April during a special COVID-19 global town hall on CNN; and the emotional “Perfect Way To Die”, which Keys dedicates to innocent Black lives lost due to police brutality. She gave a moving performance of the song during the BET Awards broadcast in June.

Keys plans to bring the new album to life in the winter of 2021, during rescheduled dates of her upcoming ALICIA: The World Tour, originally scheduled for winter 2020 before the global pandemic put a pause on live music gatherings.

The album is a counterpart piece to Keys’ New York Times Best-selling book More Myself: A Journey, which was released in March as the first title on Oprah’s new imprint with Flatiron Books.

This double album 2LP record set is on white coloured vinyl housed in a gatefold sleeve with printed inner sleeves, printed booklet and download code, pressed in Europe via RCA Records.
