Alicia Keys returns to her soulful piano roots with ‘KEYS’ album

Alicia Keys is back with her new album, ‘KEYS,’ and says it’s a return to her soulful piano homebase that initially launched the R&B singer into a global icon. The 26-track double album is a back-to-basics approach for the classically trained pianist and is broken down in two sections: “Originals,” which features many soul-influenced, piano-led songs, followed by the “Unlocked” section which contains uptempo remixes.
