Description
Double Black Vinyl LP
On The Diary Of Alicia Keys, the classically trained vocalist/pianist follows up the success of her lauded debut by displaying an even more formidable knack for sophisticated soul. The elegant piano intro of Harlems Nocturne quickly gives way to a driving beat and Keys admission that there are so many things that are on my mind. This sentiment proves true, as Keys proceeds to run through a wide range of musical styles, from string-laden R&B on Karma to Timbaland-produced funk on Heartburn to a potent soul-pop medley of If I Was Your Woman/Walk On By. Keys personal touch on Diary extends to her role as producer on many of the albums tracks, including the sultry, show-stopping If I Aint Got You and the haunting Diary. As this confident sophomore album reveals, Songs In A Minor was no fluke. In fact, Diary shows Keys just starting to hit her musical stride.
