Among all the crap we get these days… and I don’t mean to despise any artist but, seriously, it looks like anyone can release a cd lately… once in a blue moon, a true talent will show up in the market. Alicia Keys was one of those diamonds in a rough that with each album she has released has turned into a precious stone.

Ever since she released ‘Songs in A minor’, Keys has found her way to soothe my ears and capture my attention. I loved Fallin’, A Woman’s Worth (watch her grammy performance with Joaquín Cortés dancing a very passionate tango) from her first cd. If I Ain’t Got You (again, watch her grammy performance with Jamie Foxx, a-ma-zing!) and Karma from the ‘Diary of Alicia Keys’ are really good too.

And now she’s back with her third studio album entitled ‘As I am’. What a masterpiece. I got it for Christmas for my sister and I’ve been borrowing her cd almost every week (I know I’ll end up adding this album to my collection). She writes her own songs, composes the melody, produces her records… she’s all talent.

I got hooked on ‘No one’ from the very first second I listened to the track. It’s so positive and optimistic sounding. So catchy and easy to memorize. I love how she sends such a good message to everyone out there.

So, anyway, for those of you celebrating Valentine’s Day tomorrow, enjoy the following song. It’s beautiful. Happy Valentine’s lovebirds!

Alicia Keys - No One

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better
You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry ‘cuz
Everything’s going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all I know is everything’s going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain
You and me together

Through the days and nights
I don’t worry ‘cuz
Everything’s going to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all I know is everything’s going to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So ’til the end of time I’m telling you there is no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you
