There are so many songs that would pop off with radio it is crazy. She tried new things musically and pulled them all off. You really get a feeling for the emotion she is trying to convey. All the lyrics are tight on this album you can tell a lot of time and care was put into every second of this album. I Need You is just amazing the drums on it are sick and the lyrics are tight. Other feel good tracks are Teenage Love Affair for the first time I can remember my sweet heart with a smile we dated for 3 years on and off even after high school and there was a lot of pain there but this song makes you reminisce in a good way. An example of this is like on Lesson Learned (one of my favorites) alicia gets to the break and she says вЂњI ainвЂ™t nothing like I was before you outta see me nowвЂќ the music breaks perfectly and I can imagine her smiling at this point cause I smile just thinking yeah IвЂ™ve been hurt before but IвЂ™m better and IвЂ™m not the same dammit you should see me now! It just feels good. I love how the melody follows the lyrics it follows the vocals the passion in her voice and the raw emotion is there in the right amounts in the right spots.

This is the first CD of hers that IвЂ™ve like EVERY song on the first listen! If you donвЂ™t give this CD a try you are really and truly missing out on some good music. IвЂ™m a fan of Miss Keys and I love love love this CD. I bought the CD/DVD the day it came out at Target. If given the opportunity again I would have just purchased the ones I liked off of Itunes and saved about eight bucks! But I wanted to support her and purchase the album during the first week of release. I agree with one of the previous posters, this is not a total disaster, although it leaves way to much skipping of non appealing material which makes up IMHO more than 50% of the disk. In most of the songs she appears to be struggling to maintain the tone and pitch. I hate to say this but vocally to me anyway her range is also limited, however this is something I thought we all knew, including her. The fact that she is trying to switch it up does not sit well with me as her style is what made me like her to begin with. The first five songs on it I actually like, but after that I repeatedly want to go back to number two. I found myself to be really hyped when the album came out, but I must admit that after purchasing it and playing it serveral times trying to make it вЂњgrowвЂќ on me I am somewhat disappointed. I am a fan of Alicia, Diary is in constant rotation on my Ipod. The thing about Love- probably the вЂњif i aint got youвЂќ of the album.ДЄs you can see that there is still some growing that needs to take placeвЂ¦nothing grows on me with her but i gotta give teh rest a chanceвЂ¦ WRECKLESS LOVE вЂ“ The only song i put on repeat. Superwoman- I usually hate inspirational, but this ons good Go Ahead (Vocal Arrangement is crazy and the beat) too many skipable songs.skippin songs was never an issue for me with alicia. it makes the album boring listening to that many songs back to back. вЂ“ The song arrangement isnt that great.The last 5 songs are all piano s like they were all shoved to the back. вЂњLike YouвЂ™ll never see me againвЂќ is longer on the cd. The amount of songs is just enough.not 2 short and not 2 long. She sounds diffrent on each and every single track which is very impressive. This has more hard drivin amplified beats. Alicia Has switched up her вЂњnoticible pianio on each songвЂќ style.

This Album is a bit diffrent and im still tryna get used to it. Nothing could replace that cd in my cd player(b4 i had an ipod) that december when it came out. Her best album was вЂњThe Diary of Alicia KeysвЂќ. Im a big fan of Alicia KeysвЂ™ albumsвЂ¦i think she does a great job each time. Well I Bought the CD/DVD on Tuesday Target for 13 bucks.

As i am alicia keys
