"I thought piano belongs to classical music, not to modern R'n'B. I was wrong. This CD is something new and original and Alicia is a true talent. The best songs are the 4 singles, but the others are also worth listening, my favorite non-single tracks are Jane Doe, Butterflyz and Rock Wit U. I'm glad I bought the special edition 'cause this remix of "A Woman's Worth" is so COOL. (A hint: don't turn off your CD player after listening it... wait a few minutes. :)
The Cd also contains a weblink to a page where you can find videos and some Alicia stuff."
When's the next CD???

"A great CD! The incredible voice of A Keys shines through in every track and her talent as a piano player is quite evident. Fast beats like "Jane Doe" and "Girlfriend" coupled with slow tracks like "Fallin'" and "Woman's Worth" makes for a CD great to listen to in any mood. My favourite tracks include "Mr. Man" and "Why Do I Feel So Sad"."
Soulful Sister Beyond Her Years

"First, let me commend Alicia Keys for having the ability to write her own material and the talent to sing and play the piano better than most others in the music industry. In this industry where everyone seems to just be a product of their record company with no presence or minds of their own, Alicia Keys is a very refreshing change. Her amazing soul comes through every track on her album and anyone can tell that this woman is wise beyond her years. Even now, after her cd has been out for awhile, I love to sit back after a day of work and listen to it because it is very soothing. Those who seem to think her cd is "over-hyped" do not understand the deeper soul behind singers such as Alicia Keys, India Arie, Floetry, and Jill Scott. Being a singer and piano player myself, Alicia Keys is truly an inspiration to me. I look forward to the future of Miss Keys, one of the best things out there."
