Alicia Keys’ Album Cover… Not

posted by Sista on November 10th, 2009 at 8:06 am

Update: Alicia herself took to Twitter to say this image is not the cover of her album. Sorry.

Wow. Check out Alicia Keys’ cover art for her “Element of Freedom” CD. Alicia gets a big thumbs up from me. I totally love it. This is by far her most interesting cover and she looks amazing.

  2. Wow^^^

    Anyhoo, love Alicia but not really feeling this cover. I get the wings but the bedazzled headwrap, ummm, no.

  3. KETERA needs HOOKED ON PHONICS and fast.

  4. PLEASE… alicia keys is one of the very few original artists out there lets not fool ourselves…

    hate the head peice tho!

  5. KETERA= BEYONCE STAN

  6. I think she look beautiful period. Yes to the first comment please.

  7. Not feeling this cover :-|
    She doesn’t look like herself….

    Hope she has some great soulful tracks on this album cause I can’t quite dig the mainstream/radio sound she’s been doing.

  8. Love it. Best cover from her so far. She looks at peace.

  9. Very nice and very artistic. I can’t wait for the cd. Loves Akeys.

  10. Here we go again.. Black women tearing each other down.. You know black women are in the majority in raising of black children today and the evil attitudse they carry is the reason why black youth are in the trouble they are in.

    A seed will produce that in which it is.

  12. Nice. Real nice.

  13. Am I the only one who thinks she’s channeling whitney? think (the bodyguard), and she kinda looks like a lightskin version of her (on cover).

  14. I love this cover and she does look amazing. As far as her voice im tired of people saying singers can’t sing….wth Alicia has a nice voice whether you like it or not doesn’t mean she can’t sing!

  15. Some stranger on a forum

    No Alicia is not the best Singer but i think what people like about her is that she is that classy Black woman in the swarm of ***** Now i heard she stole someone husband which seems so stupid to me since you can’t steal a husband, But i’m pretty sure black women will make her forever pay by not buying her album and what not Whatever if the music is good im buyin if not im criticizing end of the story

  16. The look is different for sure, it’ alright, she’s looks good and I’m sure her new cd will have two or three songs that really hit home for a lot of people! It’s the kind of music she makes.

    You can depend on Jill Scott to give you the sweetness of love and the bitter, which was dark and not as appealing, understandably so, going through a divorce, Erykah the truth, Melanie Fiona, the bizness, Kindred, the struggles of self, relationship and family, Kenny Latimore and Chante Moore, great love duets, Floetry, now disbanded, “the flow” Janet, the dance, the video, melodic ballads, Jhud, the true gospel of rnb, Keisha Cole, the highs and lows of love and trust, Rihanna, Beyonce and Ciara, the video and sometimes a work of art (“Disturbia,” “Me, Myself and I,” “Like A Boy”)!

    Alicia will continue with her tradition of making music with reflection (“A woman’s worth”) without great vocals, she still makes you listen to what she’s saying over what she looks like, that’s pretty good considering she’s a really beautiful woman.

    Go Alica!

  17. She can’t sing are you insane. Now it’s official a lot of us have forgot what real talent is. We are have gotten so accustome to booty shaking and all that foolishness that we are actually tearing down someone with talent. I saw all the soulful and talented black artisist should stay out of America righ now because we have lost it.

  18. Absolutely Gorgeous…this photo stopped me dead in my tracks; great look!

  19. Nicki=Maxwell fan

    This reminds me of Whitney Houston…for some reason.

  20. Looks good to me. She is feeling free to look how she wants. I like that she is not doing the typical album cover and is brave enough to not show her hair, most female artist would be scared to take that chance since they rely on their hair too much in the entertainment world. Bring on the 15th!!

  21. Just saw on her twitter that this is not the official cover but oh well it could’ve been.

  22. Never expect this kind of cover from her but this one is very beautiful to me. However, if she drop her head piece and let her long hair down, she would look like a Victoria`s Secret model. ^^

  23. looks fan made

  24. Thank goodness!!!!

  25. SEE I TRIED TO TELL YOU but you had my comment “awaiting moderation” for the longest. Where are my props?

  26. She looks amazingly beautiful and it’s very original and different

  27. The cover doesn’t matter to me. Its in the trash once I wrangle the cd out of that tough plastic. I just know that whats between the plastic is a million times better than the garbage with pretty covers. AKeys is the truth.

  28. Yes, Alicia can’t sing. I hate her voice

  29. If there were a “Sing-off” and the artists listed below were to sing two songs, one acapella and the other, with only the accompaniment of a piano or acoustic guitar, a stool and one spotlight, no backup singers, a very much stripped-down unplugged session, who would be number one, which artists would be the top five?

    It would be a vocal blood bath and so hard to choose, these girls would PERFORM! We have plenty of very good singers who just don’t get wide exposure, promotional dollars and radio play. We should support them regardless of what record companies do for them!

    Jill Scott, Heather Headley, Marsha Ambrosius, Tamia, Deborah Cox, Kelly Price, Lina, Lalah Hathaway, Amel Larrieux, India Arie, Jennifer Hudson, Ledisi, Chrisette Michele, Goapele, Mary J. Blige, Jazzmyne Sullivan, Faith Evans, Alicia Keys, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Fantasia, Melanie Fiona, Keisha Cole, Letoya, Keri Hilson, Monica, Joss Stone, Estelle, Noisette, Hil St. Soul, Amy Winehouse, Erykah Badu, Amel Larrieux, Dana Owens, Maysa, Yolanda Adams and Mary Mary….and others

    Some years back I caught the “Sugar Water Festival” with Jill, Erykah, Queen Latifah and Floetry and all were great, but Jill slayed and together onstage they mesmerized! There’s room for more than a few artists and we have to support not only superstars like Alicia, Mary, Beyonce and Rihanna, but less visible, but highly talented artists! It’s sad with so much talent that today black artists feel a need to go Pop to sell music. We need to put rnb back where it belongs!

  30. I absolutely love Alicia Keys as a great talent in spite of the negative press recently. I feel that she is a true musician! We need more artist who are just as talented. Kudos to Alicia for channeling Melba Moore in this photo. A Portrait of Melba http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/441807/Melba+Moore.jpg

    She has a beautiful voice and philanthropic spirit.

  31. Alicia twitter’d this is not her actual album cover………

    And Alicia can sing, she may not be the best, but she can sing. Love her to pieces. December 15, I’m getting my copy.

  32. stacey u are a bitc fuc u and i hate beyonce

  33. katrina i am not a fan of beyonce please stop lying and talking about me on this post i hate beyonce she steals beats, music, and ideas. ya girl beyonce is going to court dec 10, 2010 for stealing a song again

  34. WOW KETERA hate is a strong word.
    I HATE people that rape children,I HATE people who kill human beings for nothing, I HATE terroist. Not a musician who does his/her job.
