Alicia (album)
[edit]Alicia is the seventh studio album by Alicia Keys (pictured) and released on September 18, 2020. Alicia's mostly low-tempo and melodically subtle music reconciles her experimental direction with bass drum-driven R&B and piano-based balladry. The songs explore identity as a multifaceted concept, sociopolitical concerns, and forms of love within multiple frameworks. Keys described the album as therapeutic and reflective of greater introspection in herself. After a surprise announcement of its impending release in September, Alicia debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 in its first week and became Keys's eighth top-10 record in the US, while charting in the top 10 in several other countries. It received critical praise for Keys's nuanced vocal performances and the music's broad appeal, while her thematic messages were considered balanced, healing, and timely against the backdrop of unfolding world events. The album won the Grammy Award for Best Immersive Audio Album in 2022. (Full article...)

- Coordinator comment I'm more inclined to run Sounder commuter rail, just promoted, which will see its 25th anniversary on the 18th. This could be deferred for another time or else run on the 17th or 19th.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:23, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
- @Wehwalt: I'm fine with moving this to another year. I don't think there's a point in running it on Sep 17 or 19. Z1720 (talk) 22:07, 7 July 2025 (UTC)
