The debut album of R&B songstress and pianist Alicia Keys released in 2001. This was the album that made her a star earning her several awards and international recognition. Her top selling and most sung tune off the CD was 'Fallin' and that remained on the charts for 6 weeeks at #1.

R&B fans, classical music, soul and easy listening music fans.

Well, I did like Fallin' at first, but after it hearing it so many times, I have a fondness for 'Girlfriend' (#2), 'Troubles (#5) and 'Mr. Man (#11). They definitely show her range as an artist with her voice and piano skills.

Good and pleased. Some had a toe tapping beat, others a cool soothing feeling to it.

It shows the range and talent of a young woman who doesn't just rely on her piano skills. Her vocal range is incredible as well.

All around, this was a fantastic effort for a debut album and she deserved all the hype and accolades she received. It's highly recommended for anyone who wants to get a feel of who Alicia Keys really is.
