Tracklisting is still TBC but the 3 singles we've had so far will be on there. I love that she is still going strong and this era is shaping up to be a fine one for her. Time Machine and Underdog are fantastic.

Her latest stuff does absolutely nothing for me unfortunately .

I used to be a hardcore fan but nothing off this album takes my fancy.

I only liked in common on the last one too.

I wonder where this will chart. It would feel weird for this to go top ten when some of her eras which had way more hype and successful hits from it didn’t manage that here in the UK. But low sales could help this debut / peak rather high.

7 in first set of UK midweeks.

I think Love Looks Better is great, it really grew on me! Underdog is cute too. I'll have to give the album a go.

'Alicia' has good reviews! It has a score of 77 on Metacritic - that makes it her best received album critically since her debut album.

The album reached #12 in the UK. Surprisingly that's the highest UK first week position of her career! Her previous best start was #13 with The Diary of Alicia Keys.

Regarding her UK album peaks with studio albums - The Element of Freedom reaching #1 looks like a bit of a fluke, given that these are her peaks:

#1 - The Element of Freedom [First week: #17]
#6 - Songs in A Minor [First week: #195]
#11 - As I Am [First week: #14]
#12 - Alicia [First week: #12]
#13 - The Diary of Alicia Keys [First week: #13]
#13 - Girl on Fire [First week: #15]
#21 - Here [First week: #21]

The Element of Freedom only entered at #17, but climbed to #1 in its 8th week (in the same week that Empire State of Mind Part II became a Top 5 hit). It's interesting how this era connected so well in the UK, because in the US it performed somewhat less well than her first three albums!
