The anecdote sticks not just because it explained the song so well--you can actually hear the pain, commitment, and determination in her sultry voice--but because it gets at what makes the woman behind the music so appealing. There's only one way R&B artists grow to become legends, and it's by drenching the words they sing with feeling (think Gladys Knight, Roberta Flack). The skeptical listener might have had her doubts before As I Am, but there's no mistaking it now: Alicia Keys is well on her way to sharing a category with them. This record radiates not just old-soul maturity, the kind Alicia fans say makes her modern rarity, but real soul. Vintage-leaning hooks and horns grab hold on "Where Do We Go from Here" and an assortment of other songs, but Keys can also get by just fine without them, as she proves on more pop-flavored numbers like "Lesson Learned," with John Mayer, and "Superwoman." The genres may be smearing, she seems to say, but bring them on: she won't shrink back. Her commitment is not to a single style but to what's stirring her soul. Because of it, she's moving R&B, or something like it, from the hips back to the heart. --Tammy La Gorce ## Images ![As I Am - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Gyk4R6hyL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Keys made this one for the "boomer" in all of us! *by R***D on Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2008* After listening to this album several times, I have come to the conclusion the Ms. Keys decided to pay tribute to her parents' generation and the music to which they sang and danced. With the exception of "No One," the hit first single, the rest of the songs bear a distinctive stamp of songs from the 60's - 80's.That's not quite a bad thing at that.Keys is guaranteed the younger/hip-hop audience by virtue of her earlier releases and her stunning beauty."As I Am" allows her to branch out and capture an audience that may have avoided her in the past. Such outstanding tracks as the aforementioned, "Superwoman," "Lesson Learned," "Wreckless Love," "Teenage Love Affair," and "Sure Looks Good to Me" capture the ear and the heart with her vocals and lyrics.It's no wonder that the album has been reviewed and purchased by so many.To that, I'll add my four stars (loses a star for too few uptempo tracks) to this good release. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ She IS a Guarantee of Quality *by A***T on Reviewed in the United States on November 13, 2007* Six years into her career, Alicia Keys remains a guarantee of real quality in today's R&B. Her third studio disc continues to explore old school traditions, putting on them the state-of-the-art, modern "sound coat". Her voice is as soulful as ever, songs grow on you the more you listen to them and her piano arrangements (often using simple but clever riffs) serve the best to the music. The excellent, gradating first single "No One" gets under your skin after a few hearings and the highlight is "Like You'll Never See Me Again", which flows you with lots of warmth and emotion. Although the presence of John Mayer is very welcome, The Krucial brothers set the tone for the album. Alicia's "As I Am" does not disappoint and shows that she is one of the very few top commercially successful singers of the day that can call themselves ARTISTS. ### ⭐ Very poor vinyl pressing *by P***G on Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021* The quality of the vinyl pressing is very poor. It's extremely compressed and even after thoroughly cleaning sounds worse than the digital recording. I so enjoy this album and was very disappointed after purchasing it twice and finding it to just be a bad pressing. I am hopeful that it will be repressed someday in the future and given all the love it deserves. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/4016322-as-i-am](https://www.desertcart.in/products/4016322-as-i-am) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
