Alicia Keys The Element Of Free Fixdom Zip -

Released on December 15, 2009, is the fourth studio album by Alicia Keys . Departing from the retro-soul of her earlier work, the album features a more low-key, mid-tempo sound influenced by 80s pop-rock artists like Genesis and The Police. Keys described the project as a "dichotomy of strength and vulnerability," recorded during a period of personal struggle and recovery from depression. Key Themes and Production

The Element of Freedom debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 and became Alicia Keys’ first album to top the UK Albums Chart. Lead single “Doesn’t Mean Anything” set the tone with its searching lyrics about love’s elusive nature, while “Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart” pushed her into synth-driven territory. But the album’s crowning moment came with “Empire State of Mind (Part II) Broken Down” — a stripped-down, piano-led companion to Jay-Z’s rap anthem. Where Jay-Z’s version celebrated New York’s bravado, Keys’ take reveals the city’s tender underbelly. alicia keys the element of freedom zip
