Alicia Keys demonstrated only dignity when she turned up on the red carpet at the Recording Academy New York Chapter honors.
Alicia’s new album, As I Am, is released the same date as Britney Spears’ as yet untitled album - on November 13.
But Alicia, who wore a fetching white blouse, figure-hugging black trousers and black gloves, admits that she’s not worried in the slightest about the competition, saying: “Absolutely not. For the new album, you can expect the unexpected. You won’t believe your ears, I promise you.”
The 27-year-old also showed no dislike for the troubled popstar, adding: “I hope she’ll come back.”
Alicia Keys will guest-star on an upcoming episode of Jimmy Smits’ new CBS drama, “Cane.”
Keys will play herself in the episode, scheduled to film Thursday at the Thom Thom Club in Santa Monica, Calif.
She will perform “No One,” a song from her new CD, “As I Am,” and will interact in the episode with club owner Henry Duque. She’ll also have some dialogue with Pancho Duque, Henry’s father who runs the Duque family’s rum-and-sugar cane empire.
Hey…
Straight from Vegas to Japan. 13 hour flight. Crazy! But I’m happy to be over here. It’s been a minute and it’s nice to introduce the music to everyone, of all walks of life. The sick part is being 13hours ahead of NY time and 16 hours ahead of LA time. Try doing Business on THAT schedule. kinda hard lol! Plus my body is all confused..is it morning or night?? I have no idea;-) Right now its 7:55 am NY time and 855pm in Japan. Its interesting how one day is just begginning and the other is ending. IT’s the illest thing. Who figure that out anyway?? I think about strange things like that. who in the workd was the first person to figure out time zones? $20 to whoever can get me the history of that lol!
Did one of those small intimate performances last night. Most of the whole room couldnt even speak english and here I am explaining every song and emotion I was going through in order to write it. Funny thing is… they felt me…regardless, they felt me. What an incredible gift music is. There is something for everyone. It comes in all shapes and styles..it maybe the closest to freedom we’ll ever get. hmmmmmmmmm. Nonetheless, I’m DUMB tired! it’s early but, I gotta get some rest. just wanted to check in. say hey. Hope you’re good.
Gonna start doing some buzz shows soon…. oooohhhhhhh! I CANT WAIT FOR YOU TO HEAR ALL THIS MUSIC!
alright, be safe

09/09/07 : “No One” Video
Hey Fam!!!
We just shot the video for “No One!” It was so serious!!! Depicting the emotions of not letting ANYTHING get in the way of the good thing you have: Love for your Family, love for your man or woman, love for your son or daughter, love for yourself. Doesn’t it sometimes seem like when you have something good, there is always something or someone trying to break up or put down this good thing? I feel like that sometimes. That’s why I love this song so much. It empowers me. Makes me feel strong and unstoppable even through the eye of the storm. We had a couple of Fam members down at the video shot in LA. It was fly! They hung out and watched as we shot one of my favorite scenes with my piano in the rain. Then I was able to go over and say “what’s up.” We chatted for a little bit and chilled. So ‘big up’ to the Fam that was able to make it to the video!
I’m still JUST as amped, probably even more for you guys to hear the whole record. The whole vibe… I can’t wait to hear what your favorite songs are.
I’m getting ready for the Video Music Awards, so I’m at rehersal now. Getting ready to start the fire!!!
