Check out Alicia Keys!

The 15-time Grammy winner embraces the beauty of her base a-front of the French edition of Grazia.

As previously reported, the singer-songwriter is rocking a make-up free look to promote self-love — and her sixth studio album.

Though the status of the latter remains in question (after lead single ‘In Common’ didn’t ignite the charts), Ms. Keys is gearing up for a major media takeover.

Pending its arrival, relive the underrated bliss that is ‘In Common’ below. Because chart or no chart, it remains a bop!

So, there’s no doubt that the pressure is on Malik to fare much better with his aforementioned sophomore set.
