I loved alicia keys'e first offering and predictably her second offering wasn't going to be as good.BUT don't fret for it is still a good album.More chilled out then her debut it's more slow jam oriented with more classical tones(particularly on 'karma')so some myabe dissapointed if they are looking for stunners like 'fallin' or 'a woman's worth'.Overall the best track is her new single 'you don't know my name' but there are also gems to be found in 'karma','if i was your woman','if i ain't got you','so simple'(very catchy babyish vocals)and 'slow down' with it's beautiful cascading bridges.I would recommend anyone 2buy this record.it's very nice 2listen to while chillin out and what goes without saying is ms.keys is an amazing artist with an amazing talent!
