    Wonderful debut album

    Pros: Buttreflyz

    Cons: -

    I have never heard a debut album quite like this one, Alicia writes most of her own tracks, and plays a lot of the music for the recordings as well.....what I call a true artist! The CD starts with a piano classic, but then Alicia drops her own beat...s into it, showing her own styling which is a great opening for the CD. I loved it from start to finish, and I hope you do to!! Read more Less

    Cons: Worthless

    Just another piece of MTV/Pop crap. Listen to Deicide and Pantera for real music.

    Alicia Keys' debut album, Songs in A Minor, made a significant impact upon its release in the summer of 2001, catapulting the young singer/songwriter to the front of the neo-soul pack. Critics and audiences were captivated by a 19-year-old singer whose taste and influences ran back further than her years, encompassing everything from Prince to smooth '70s soul, even a little Billie Holiday. In retrospect, it was the idea of Alicia Keys that was as attractive as the record, since soul fans were hungering for a singer/songwriter who seemed part of the tradition without being as spacy as Macy Gray or as hippie mystic as Erykah Badu while being more reliable than Lauryn Hill. Keys was all that, and she had style to spare -- elegant, sexy style accentuated by how she never oversang, giving the music a richer feel. It was rich enough to compensate for some thinness in the writing -- though it was a big hit, "Fallin'" doesn't have much body to it -- which is a testament to Keys' skills as a m...usician. And, the fact is, even though there are some slips in the writing, there aren't many, and the whole thing remains a startling assured, successful debut that deserved its immediate acclaim and is already aging nicely. - Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide Read more Less

Biography

Alicia Keys

Her official website says she possesses an "old soul," and the hard facts seem to back up the implied claim of wisdom and experience that transcend Alicia Keys' youth. Barely in her twentiess, Keys is responsible for an extremely hot debut, Songs in A Minor. The release, which she wrote and produced for Clive Davis' J Records, blends diverse influences, including RB, hi... Read more
