CD Edition

Fifteen-time Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter, producer, and philanthropist Alicia Keys releases her powerful new sixth studio album. Offering an honest insight into what matters most to Keys, the artist shines a light on the stories of New York, the city that raised her.

Urgent, intimate, and musically bold, Here is Keys' naked truth: each of the album's 13 songs and 5 interludes is a confession and every melody is a prayer, openly exploring the raw and powerful nature of identity, growth, possibility, and her love for New York City. Here speaks to the cultural climate of the world we live in today, drawing inspiration from her personal journey and the mood of current society.

As a visual story accompanying HERE, Keys has also released a short film titled "The Gospel" inspired by the genesis of songs written by Alicia Keys. The story consists of fictional vignettes depicting coming of age in New York City, confronting harsh truths about life, and exploring our universal connection as human beings. "The Gospel"

The songs on the album focus on the complexities of life, struggles, and a desire for acceptance and change. From the current single "Blended Family," featuring A$AP Rocky, inspired by Keys' own family, to the soulful battle cry "Holy War," Keys does not shy away from the realities that challenge and inspire us all.
