The set features Keys at her most emotional, powerful and balanced. Her vocals, always strong in the past, resonate this time with a richer, and in some cases grittier, vibrato which strikes the core of the listener. Powerful anthems such as "No One" echo with universality while the intricately soulful "Lesson Learned" featuring John Mayer weaves a massive web of laid back proportions. "Like You'll Never See Me Again," the set's worthy second single is worth the price of admission by itself as the retro-flavored "Wreckless Love" evokes the artist Keys' career path most closely emulates - Mr. Stevie Wonder and his trail of genius that has spanned over 5 decades. Fans of Keys will appreciate the growth so apparent in her latest release while new listeners will be blown away by this 27 year-old's sheer brilliance from beginning to end. Buy this album. Now.
