Alicia Keys

Don't have much time to post and I know most of you don't appreciate R&B, but this is a good album. This girl is talented, really.
Just wondering if anyone else picked it up after all the praise it received.
Those of you who want to criticize my taste of music, please keep your fingers off your keyboard.

Yea its a good album, however I don't think she is really breaking any new barriers in music here, its pretty run of the mill.
However if you like this you will also like 'Angie Stone', Mahogony.

I may be in the minority, but I don't really think Keys is all that, plus she's got melisma flatulence like crazy, just like almost every other latter-day nu-soul/R&B singer. Enough already. Listen to Mahalia Jackson, or Stevie Wonder, or Aretha, if you wanna hear some tasteful, proportioned melisma. I mean, it was bad enough when Mariah Carey came on the scene, but now every little Britney and Christina is obliged to stretch every syllable into a hundred notes of faux soul caricature.

Dug this thread up to say that a new album is available by some one calling herself Tweet.
Anyhoo, very much in the same vein. A good listen
