Last year, Keys released a solo album of her own that she considers one of her most honest projects to date.
“A place where I’m willing to truthfully look at myself in the mirror and to also see the reality of who we have become in this world,” Alicia described about her album, Here. “The good, the ugly, the shadows and the light. I’ve come to realize that in order for us to grow and to understand and accept each other we have to recognize the complexity of ourselves. We have to be able to talk about it and meet each other where we are, HERE.”
