I really can't imagine my record collection without this CD. Alicia Keys came on to the scene with her first UK single, Fallin taken from the Songs in A Minor album. This beautiful girl sat in front of a piano and all that she had was a melody and that rustic soul voice. I love that her style is slightly older than her years. For me the most impressive track on this album is If I Aint Got You. To me it reveals an account of what a girl's life would be like if she didn't have her man. This album is packed with not only with the vocal ability of this incredible artist but the music talent she has with her piano playing which cannot be forgotten with this album. Great melodies, trickery and perfect for every track. What I also love about Alicia Keys in particular is that what you are listening to on her albums must only be edited very very slightly as she sounds just as sharp on CD as she does live.
Chilled out R&B describes this album to a T. Genius describes the artist.
