Alicia Keys seems to be superwoman and more considering her agenda these days. Not only is she currently running through her
As I Am tour to promote her recent album, but she is also already in progress on a new album! Some people just can't take a break. She states,
I've been thinking about the next album, since we kind of wrapped up this album. Part of what I've been thinking about is, 'What are the ways that I want to express myself this time?' " she says "When I was just finishing recording 'As I Am,' I said to myself that I want to do something that's totally stripped-down, stripped-back, totally piano-based, singer-songwriter; a Joni Mitchell-Carole King type of vibe.
I might do that, but you never know where life takes you, where the music's going to take you.
If there was any artist out there today that I would say has pure talent it would probably be Alicia Keys. Not only has she dominated Billboard charts and filled up many arenas on tour, she has also proved herself as an astounding actress and a humanitarian. I don't know about you but I think her role in
Smokin' Aces is impressive. She also co-starred with Scarlett Johansson in
The Nanny Diaries as one of her best friends.
As for her humanitarian efforts, Alicia Keys asked the crowd in her LA concert last week to send a text to the number 90999 so that money would be donated to
Keep A Child Alive.In the midst of all her work she also just released her latest single from
As I Am, titled
Teenage Love Affair. This song definitely has a more playful vibe compared to her previous serious toned singles (
No One, Like You'll Never See Me Again, etc.) Enjoy the video for it below.
UPDATE: I watched the video again and saw that she is advertising for Keep A Child Alive in the video as well, haha, rand.
