Friday’s crop of new music releases has brought us a new Alicia Keys album. The self-titled Alicia features appearances from Miguel, Sampha, Tierra Whack, Jill Scott and more. Find the album’s full tracklist below.
“I’m excited like it’s the first time!” Keys wrote on Instagram. “I’m grateful to share all the different sides of me with you. I’m grateful you love me as I am! Press play and let the magic begin.”
The project is Keys’ first since 2016’s Here. Alicia was originally scheduled to be released on March 20, then May 15, before the COVID‑19 pandemic. Keys also released a biography titled More Myself: A Journey. In an interview on Good Morning America, she spoke about the connection between the two new releases.
“The book takes you up to today and the music takes you from today on,” she said. “It’s definitely about all sides of us as people. I have so many sides to myself — we all do — and I’ve been embracing that on this music, so you’re going to love it,” she added. “It’s going to take you to many places and many reflections.”
