You know who she is and you know what she’s capable of, but that doesn’t mean that Alicia Keys isn’t willing to give more of herself and showcase more aspects of her artistry. With an impressive five solo studio albums under her belt, the singer, song-writer, and actress has kept quiet on the music side of things for the past few years. Releasing her most recent studio effort, Girl On Fire, back in November 2012, we’re approaching the four year mark since the last time we’ve had a new body of work from the songstress. Living her life and raising a family, that’s enough to keep anyone busy, but Alicia Keys has found herself quietly working on new material and has even been preparing for her “comeback” as she’s recently announced that she’s acquired new management. Via Billboard, Alicia Keys has moved on from her previous management, Maverick, and has solely took on Erika Rose, who previously served as co-manager.
“Erika has played an instrumental role in my artistry since day one,” said Keys, who plans to release a new album this year. “She is a strategic manager who makes smart decisions and understands the balance between business and creative endeavors. I feel a great sense of trust and clarity knowing she will be holding the reins of my career as my business partner. This is the best music I’ve made yet and the best time of my life is yet to come.”
Being exciting times, it will be great to see and hear just how Alicia Keys has evolved since the last time we’ve heard from her. With Erika being the only driver behind the managing side of things, perhaps bigger and better things are in store for Ms. Keys. One thing that’s for sure, the people are hungry for new music with hopes that it premieres soon.
