About

Duality is the spice of life, and Alicia Keys’ eighth studio album, a double release, is all about leaning into her own. For an artist with over two decades’ worth of work under her belt, that means considerations of both time and style. In one breath, she wanted to pay homage, as she explains to Apple Music's Ebro: “The goal was to own my greatne, to own the shoulders that I stand on, to recognize the classic, iconic artists that I couldn't even breathe without.” And in another, she wanted to honor the love and lineage she shares with hip-hop by sampling herself to reveal those songs anew. Thu, she divides <i>KEYS</i> between a first half she calls “Originals” and a second half titled “Unlocked.” .
