‘THE ELEMENT OF FREEDOM’ DECEMBER 14TH
THE SINGLE - ‘DOESN’T MEAN ANYTHING’ NOVEMBER 30TH
12 x Grammy Award winner, Alicia Keys releases her highly anticipated 4th studio album, THE ELEMENT OF FREEDOM, on December 14th. The first single, “Doesn’t Mean Anything,” written and produced by Alicia and her longtime production partner Kerry “Krucial” Brothers, is released on November 30th. Alicia is the girl of the moment; not only is she already riding high in the charts with the Jay Z collaboration ‘Empire State Of Mind’, but she also wrote Whitney Houston’s come-back single ‘Million Dollar Bill’ which is currently in the top 5.
Alicia describes THE ELEMENT OF FREEDOM as a dichotomy of strength and vulnerability: “The music is really strong, and the drums are really aggressive, but my voice is vulnerable and delicate,”states Keys.
In addition to Kerry “Krucial” Brothers, the multi-award winning singer, songwriter, musician, actress and philanthropist enlists the production talents of Jeff Brasker (Kanye West, Keri Wilson) amongst others.
Since Alicia first exploded onto the music scene she has proved that she is more than talented - she is gifted. Alicia Keys is now as much of a global superstar as she is a musician’s musician. She is not only a singer, songwriter, musician and producer, but also a credible actor. Unlike many figures in the public eye who appear to be politically aware and engaged, Alicia has proved that she doesn’t just talk, she acts, her work with Keep a Child Alive is testimony to this.
THE ELEMENT OF FREEDOM is the follow up to Keys’ multi-platinum selling 2007 album As I Am, which featured the Grammy Award winning tune “No One” as well as hit singles “Like You’ll Never See Me Again,” Teenage Love Affair” and “Superwoman”.
