Released today December 15, 2009 on J Records in the United States.The Element of Freedom is the fourth studio album by Alicia Keys.
“The way that the songs progress [on the album] are gonna take you on a natural high. I just want you to feel a sense of freedom, I want you to feel out-of-the-box, feel inspired, You’re definitely going to be taken on a trip, I know you’re going to be shocked, you’re going to hear things that you probably didn’t think that I would sound like. It’s a journey,” said key in a recent interview with 106 & Park.
The Element of Freedom has received generally favorable reviews from music critics. Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune called the album Keys’ “most consistent album and also her most low-key.” Jay Lustig of The Star-Ledger hailed the album as an “instant classic.” Entertainment Weekly commented that Keys has “established herself as an increasingly rare thing in pop music: the class act”, but noted that the “often-banal lyrics” were carried by her “quicksilver” voice.
The album is now available in stores across Canada and the United States as well as iTunes.
