Il en est ou le clip de "no one" ?

Alicia Keys returns with her long-awaited third studio album, As I Am, set for a worldwide release on November 13 on J Records. Within 10 hours of being serviced to radio, Alicia first single, "No One," became one of the fastest moving and highest charting single on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. This also marks the highest first single debut for a female artist in 2007 on the R&B Monitor's Urban Mainstream chart! "No One" was written and produced by Keys, longtime collaborator Kerry "Krucial" Brothers and Dirty Harry. The Justin Francis/The Saline Project- directed video for "No One" was recently shot in LA and will premiere on national video outlets on September 17. One of the few artists who can capture an old-school vibe and make if feel refreshingly new, Alicia tackles this feat once again with an album she describes as "Janis Joplin meets Aretha Franklin." Punctuated with rich powerful vocals, Alicia's vocal muses can be felt on songs ranging from the anthemic "Superwoman" and power-charged "Go Ahead" to the misty-eyed ballad "Like You Never See Me Again" and the soulful "Sure Looks Good To Me."

Why the album is titled 'As I Am':
Because Alicia has grown far more straightforward in recent years. "I was becoming a very hidden person. I would just always try to keep everything even keeled and cool and just smooth everything over. That mask was getting very scary. And I didn't like it".

People who took part in the recording process:
Kerry 'Krucial' Brothers (producer, songwriter), John Mayer (songwriter, collaborator), Harold Lilly (songwriter), Linda Perry (songwriter), Marsha Ambrosius (collaborator), Manny Marroquin (mixing), Sean Garrett (collaborator), Dirty Harry (songwriter & producer), Ray Chew (collabo), Chad Hugo (collabo), Mark Batson (producer), Swizz Beatz (producer), Jack Splash (producer). John Legend (collaborator), Timbaland (not confirmed)

Alicia's quotes:
On the album:
"It's coming together incredibly. I am in love with this album. It's very fresh and new".

On 'Go Ahead' track:
" Lately I’ve been into taking social or political issues or problems or general ideas and making them people. so that it comes off as if I’m speaking about a relationship, but I'm really speaking about a world issue".

On 'Superwoman':
"It's my song. I was feeling pretty low and I needed some words that would pick me up. I started saying: Even when I'm a mess, I still put on on my vest with anSon my chest. It reminds me of how super I am".

On "Teenage Love Affair' song:
I've always wanted to write a song about first love, about notes passed back and forth and the phone calls that you never wanted to hang up".

On 'As I Am' tracks:
"Each one of them has such a personal and honest story that goes along with them. Each one of them are a piece of my heart and I'm so excited to be able to gift wrap it and present it to you".

On music bussines:
"I don't know how to be a factory, I don't know how to churn out records every second. All I know how to do is what moves me, what really moves me to write, what moves me to sing".

Ray Chew on Alicia:
"She's in a musical cocoon working on her ideas for the new album".

John Mayer about 'As I Am':
"We wrote a song called 'Lesson Learned', and it was one of the best creative experiences I've ever had. Alicia's lead-off single 'No One' is the track of the year. That's all there is to it. It'll blow you away when you hear it. She's evolved so much as an artist, it's crazy! She's made one beautiful and brave album".
