    Good Points: An unbelievable album. To think that she rights her own songs is something very unique in the music industry today with most singers having their songs written for them. The is far more mature than her original album but stills shows you what she first brought to the music industry years ago. There are many genres used in this album but there is a clear influence by soul music. The best song is If I Ain't Got You which is probably my favourite song ever. Other highlights of the album are You Don't Know My Name; Wake Up: Dragon Days; Heartburn and When You Really Love Someone.


    Bad Points: I can't think of anything bad but some people may not like the first track as there is a strong classical influence due to her being a classically trained pianist.


    General comments: Alicia Keys, The Diary Of is one of the best albums in recent years with it being a bookmark for how a soul album should sound.

    Alicia Keys, "The Diary Of" is a CD from the superb classically trained singer, Alicia Keys, who puts her talent out there for all to see. Alicia is a credit to the R'n'B world, with the voice and the writing, this CD is a wonderful debut album.

    All of the tracks are different, so it doesn't feel like you can't tell where one song ends and the other begins.

    This is a good CD, and I would recommend it to anyone.

    In her sophomore effort, Alicia Keys has definitely shown she has matured from her debut. She combines various music influences and accelerates her song-writing skills, at the same time stretching her vocal abilities to give her heart and soul into "The Diary Of". However, oddly enough I felt a lack of intimacy in this album, with not too many slow, dimmed down, reflective songs..more colourful and overproduced efforts clutter the crowd. All in all however, this is an impressive effort, especial ...
