Alicia Keys continues to strut the promotional pavement in support of her new single ‘In Common.’

Said trail has led her to the front of Fault Magazine’s latest issue.

The 15-time Grammy winner sports minimal make-up in the shoot, which she alludes to being a deliberate move as she strives to embrace her imperfections.

I’m learning to try and let go of the word “perfection”. It’s not real and it’s a word that tears us down. There is no way to be perfect and no fun in being perfect. You can’t be happy unless you let yourself be vulnerable and make mistakes because we’re always evolving. No one knows it all and I damn sure don’t know it all! I force myself to look in the mirror and own who I am and to own MY beautiful. So what that I have breakouts or so what that my knees are pudgy, there simply is no perfect. Once I can teach myself that there is no perfect and that I am meant to have my FAULTS, that is when I become beautiful.

Eloquently put.

Peep more pics below, where news on Alicia’s new album (due late summer) also awaits…
