Alicia Keys: The Element of Freedom

by Ethel Chik - Prince of Wales Secondary, Vancouver BC Feb 24, 2010

Alicia Keys gets creative on latest album.

Alicia Keys shows us that her musical explorations are as imaginative as ever with her new album. Tracks like Love is Blind are evidence of her creativity; however, Keys’ classic yet powerful vocals still linger throughout the album. While most of her songs are mid-tempo, (including the hit track, Empire State of Mind), Keys mixes things up by collaborating with Beyoncé on an upbeat song called Put it in a Love Song. Those who are anticipating a different side of Alicia Keys will find this album intriguing.

Ethel’s fave track: Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart
