I had lost my center and didn't really know how to find peace. «The pandemic hit I didn't feel creative at all. Keys, interviewed by Entertainment Weekly, said about the album: Īfter her album Alicia was released in September 2020, following a delay during the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic, Keys started to work on the album by writing alone in the studio as she did with her first albums. The album features the singer as producer and songwriter on all twenty-six tracks, with numerous songwriters and producers participating, including Mike Will Made It, Sia, Raphael Saadiq, Natalie Hemby, and vocal collaborations from Khalid, Lil Wayne, Pusha T, Swae Lee, Brandi Carlile, and Jacob Collier. The singer's eighth recording project consists of two parts: the first, called Originals, is described as "the classic side of me", while the second, Unlocked, is "a whole other sonic experience". To support the album, Keys embarked on the Alicia + Keys World Tour. It received mostly positive reviews, with critics highlighting Keys' production approach in particular, although some were critical of the quality behind the song composition. In the United States, the album debuted at number 41 on the Billboard 200 selling 20,800 units, and becoming Keys' first studio album to miss the top five in that country. Some songs exist only either in their original or unlocked version. The second half of the album features the unlocked versions of the same tracks, where Mike WiLL Made-It sampled the original tracks and gave them stronger beats and several effects and transformations. The first part features the more traditional and melodic original songs. The album was announced on October 27 and includes two discs (original and unlocked), with two versions of 10 tracks, along with six other tracks. It was preceded by the release of two singles: " Lala" featuring Swae Lee and " Best of Me". Keys is the eighth studio album by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys, released through RCA Records on December 10, 2021.
