 |  | Alicia is ASTONISHING just as she is!!! |  |
This hyper-talented young lady never ceases to amaze me!!From start to finish this album is a definite masterpiece!!Alicia set the bar for my expectations from her EXTREMELY high when I first heard the touching"Goodbye"from her debut album!! "Goodbye is one of my favorite songs of the last 15 years,PERIOD!!Because with its emotion-filled lyrics,Alicia made me(vividly)recall my very first heartbreak..Amazingly Alicia pulled this same sort of feat off again with "Teenage Love Afair"in which she caused me to feel nostalgia about my first"puppy-love" These following lyrics were instrumental in doing this:"Another secret meeting on the 5th floor staircase,I'm gonna give you this letter of all the things I can't SAY." "Cant WAIT to get home baby,dial your number.."Daydream about you all day in school,CAN'T concentrate,wanna have your voice in my ear 'til Momma come and say:"It's TOO late." "3rd Base":"Better pump the brakes and slow down,I gotta go HOME now!" this following line is something that I bet EVERY young couple did:"I write your name in my book,your last name,my first,I'm your"Misses"!!"Alicia perfectly mirrors the seriousness in which we held our"puppy-love"regardless of the fact that all of our elders and parents blew our 1st-time"romance"off as:"goofy nose-wide-open fleeting kid-stuff"when she so emphatically sings:"It's a matter of EXTREME importance,my first teenage love affair!!" The title track starts the album off with vintage Alicia Keys(beautiful)piano-play.."SuperWoman"UN-like Karyn Whites' and Joss Stones'songs of the same name has Alicia declaring that she IS a "superwoman"while encouraging/urging other women to undauntedly EMBRACE their myriad responsibilities!"Like You'll Never See Me Again"is a wonderful song with a great point and an excellent solution to a stagnant relationship.."Lesson Learned"is another great song with some really profound and thought-provoking lyrics such as:"A life perfect aint perfect,if you don't know what struggle's for,falling down aint falling down if you don't CRY when you hit the floor!"the song carries an excellent point:no experience is a total loss,if you LEARNED something from it.Alicia confidently states:Yes I was"burned"but I call it a lesson learned!" "No One"is a wonderful song that has Alicia declaringthat nothing and No ONE will be able to interfere with the growth of this promising relationship.."Go Ahead"is a nice track that deals with hopes and dreams left for DEAD." "Sure Looks Good To Me"has Alicia throwing caution to the wind,electing instead to act on appearances alone.."On"Tell you something"Alicia shows that she will not risk not conveying her feelings about someone. "I Need You"is a powerful song that features Alicia(shamelessly)baring her feelings for someone."Prelude to a kiss"with its'BEAUTIFUL piano has Alicia battling with reluctance to act on simple emotion. This is an excellent well-written intelligent/thoughtful album!! Don't DARE hesitate in buying this gem!!
April 28, 2008I been a huge fan of alicia keys every since her first album. This whole album is just wow there is not one song on this album that is horrible or anything. Her voice is extremely powerful throughout this and its just a 5 star gotta get it! Songs that shouldnt be missed are teenage love affair, like you'll never see me again, lesson learned and the thing about love
March 9, 2008I got this CD because I like "No One", and much to my delight, the whole disc is enjoyable. A little pop, a little soul, and a little hip-hop.

i love this cd. when i first heard it online, i said...i dont know, but i bought it and i cant get enough of it. I mean, the cd is different from what we are listening to today on the radio. It is real. My fave songs are thing about love, superwoman, like youll never see me again, and wreckless love. I would recommend this cd to anyone. No matter what type of music you listen to already, get it, you will gain something from it either way.

I must say when I first listened to this I did not like it at all! After listening to it a few times I fell in love with this cd. I haven't taken it out of my car since I bought it! Her sound on this album is very different than previous ones, she shows so much emotion on this album and you can tell she's definitely in love. My favorite tracks are "Like You'll Never See Me Again", "Lesson Learned", "Wreckless Love" and "I Need You" (all the songs are great though). You have to buy this album!!! I have been a fan from day one and will continue to be.
