Alicia Keys has more new music on the way.
The 15-time GRAMMY winner served up a hearty helping of fresh material with her ambitious double album ‘KEYS’ last December and now she’s following up with a deluxe edition.
Full story below…
Set for release on August 12, the new incarnation of the LP will add two new songs featuring Brent Faiyaz and Lucky Daye. The pair join the 41-year-old on ‘Trillions (Unlocked)’ and Lucky Daye on ‘Stay (Originals).’
What’s more, this new expanded take of the project will feature two remixes of the songbird’s hit and TGJ fave ‘In Common.’ Prior to now, neither version has been on a body of work from Keys.
In tandem with the announcement, the revered singer-songwriter unwrapped the ‘Come For Me’ visual.

FLOP 😂
KEYS debuted at number 41 on the US Billboard 200 chart with 20,800 album-equivalent units sold; it spent only a week on the chart and is her lowest charting studio album to date.

Keys Flopped harder than Lion King The Gift

Do you realise that y’all put too much pressure on these artists? Alicia is not running after charting placement, she’s doing herself and it’s pretty good, the quality is there and we should appreciate the work. I don’t need any artist to be in the top 10 to enjoy the music and so y’all should do too. Okay she sells less than before, her best selling/charting times are behind like many others from the same generation but we shouldn’t care about it that much, let’s just appreciate the music.
“She sells less than before”
Because her new music is whack. Just like her homewrecking non-make up wearing stank self.
Of course she’s not doing the same music than before, it is a classic evolution. She was at her best when she was debuting because she was new and in phase with the young scene. There’s a new generation of artists now and the music industry has changed a lot. She was a physical copy seller, she’s from that generation and it’s not the same now, the youth buy songs and stream artists from their generation. I don’t think her music is whack now, I am from her generation and I grew up listening to her and I appreciate what she’s doing lately.
Artists and fans can say they don’t care about numbers, but charts give you a general idea of how many people are engaging with your music and from which age group. What older recording artist puts their time and money in something today and doesn’t want it to be enjoyed by their original fans AND the new generation? A string of low numbers means something isn’t clicking – what that something is is a whole other argument. In Alicia’s case, I would argue it’s the music.
I don’t agree at all, charts just gives placement, not quality. We already saw/see too many mediocre artists/music on the top, that doesn’t mean anything. Why would they all need to reach every generation? Once again, it’s not about charts and numbers for everyone.
@No. I agree with you it doesn’t always mean the music isn’t good; that’s why I said it’s an indicator that ‘something’ isn’t working, not necessarily the music. And whether the music is good or it’s mediocre, the charts will show how well it’s connecting with people across radio, sales and streaming – that’s just a fact.
And no, no one NEEDS to reach every generation, but why would they not want to? Usher, for example, doesn’t NEED to reach a younger audience, but the desire is there and it has worked in his favor when collaborating with younger artists like Chris, Ella Mai and more recently, City Girls. I’m not a City Girls fan, but the Hot 100 shows that there’s an audience for them and Usher is reaching that age group as he has been doing for some time.
We sleep sis
Flop
Still not buying it anyways… why even bother releasing a deluxe edition with same dlop materials💅🏾 Gurl, put on some make up first… she’s looking like a homeless Indian auntie
She peaked at ‘As I Am’….. that album is her best.
Yes!!!
Uh no, she was at her best with “The element of freedom.”
Yesss, doesn’t mean anything is super underrated. It was meant to be No one part 2…. 💅🏾 Trying to sleep with a broken heart, unthinkable, this bed, love is blind & love is my disease… were highlighted of the album🤳🏽💯💋
There needs to be more than 2 or 3 new songs for a deluxe version of an album that came out in December of last year. This is literally the best song on that album so why was it not released first.
