ITA with your comments about DIARY - that album was a complete masterpiece. It felt personal and the songs were soulful & not so much pandering to the pop audience.

I think that was the influence of Krucial (Kerry Brothers) because ever since she's gotten with Swizz, her music has become more watered down, experimental and harder for me to relate to as a fan. It took me almost a year of listening to AS I AM & ELEMENTS OF FREEDOM to truly enjoy all of the music. I might be one of few fans who really liked the GOF track and the album was a nice transition for her.

As for TGJ's question - as a fan, I will ALWAYS buy AKeys' albums so the question might be better answered by on the fence fans or non-fans as to what they want to hear from her that'd make them buy her album.
