The third full-length
from contemporary R&B
diva Alicia Keys is
called AS I AM, a title
that adequately reflects
the album's
straightforward,
confessional soul-pop.
Keys built her
popularity making
stylish, reflective,
voice-&-piano music; AS
I AM continues that
trend, albeit in a
poppier vein that
balances neatly between
neo-soul and adult
contemporary. This is
reflected in the
mid-tempo grooves, songs
of empowerment
("Superwoman"), and
stirring ballads ("The
Thing About Love").
Keys's collaborators on
the album include
songwriter Linda Perry,
who co-wrote three of
the album's tracks, and
John Mayer, who twines
voices with Keys on the
sensual "Lesson
Learned." Top-notch
arrangements, which
include gorgeous,
retro-tinged flourishes
via strings and horns,
make the set shimmer,
but it's the strength of
the hook-heavy tunes and
Keys's moving
performances that make
AS I AM stick. It's not
the five-star album
she's capable of, but it
leaves little doubt that
Keys is moving steadily
in that direction.
