Album Notes & Community Reviews
A monumental commercial breakthrough that established a new superstar, this debut brilliantly fused classical piano training with gritty, street-level New York hip-hop soul. Keys demonstrated a stunningly mature vocal prowess and songwriting depth, writing and producing much of the material herself at just twenty years old. Driven by the colossal hit 'Fallin'', the record became a defining pillar of the early 2000s neo-soul movement.
