Amazon.com's Best of 2001
She may be beautiful, but Alicia Keys is a musician first and foremost. She plants herself firmly behind the piano keys on her debut, unlike many of the booty-waggin' junior divas who are crowding the R&B videoscape these days. Though many of the tracks on Songs in A Minor are embellished with adolescent angst, this 20-year-old's substantial, gorgeously soul-drenched alto putties the cracks between notes with astonishing ease. "Fallin'," the album's first single, showcases Keys at her best. She wails plaintively and passionately over rolling blues chords, in the tradition of the greats that this young talent clearly wants to align herself with--Stevie Wonder, Donny Hathaway, and Aretha Franklin. She swoops and soars over the spicy, flamenco-fueled melody that opens "Mr. Mann," one of the many winning tracks gathered here. And she digs deep into a remake of the beloved Prince B-side, "How Come U Don't Call Me Anymore?" packing more heat into her melismatic wails than most singers twice her age. --Sylvia W. Chan

 Songs in A Minor January 31, 2010
Arnita D. Brown (USA)
This was Alicia Keys debut CD. Alicia writes most of her own tracks, and plays a lot of the music for the recordings as well. This is what I call a true artist. The CD starts with a piano classic, but then Alicia drops her own beats into it, showing her own styling which is a great opening for the CD. I loved it from start to finish, and I hope you do to.
 Why is this album $13.99? July 25, 2009

Yep, not buying it for $13.99. MP3 download albums should be $9.99 at most. I have no plans to ever pay more than $9.99 for this album.
Breathtaking surround mix June 1, 2009

This review is for the DVD-A release only. "Songs in A Minor" is a run-of-the-mill R&B album as far as content goes, but it does contain "Fallin'" and "A Woman's Worth". There is also an amazing old-school 70s-sounding jam on one of the tracks. What is stunning is the absolute clarity, full vocal range, and the surround arrangement. You feel as though the chorus is actually behind you. There is no stereo downmix, so you pretty much need a surround setup to hear it correctly.

This album is a modern classic January 1, 2009

Songs In A Minor is a modern classic. "Piano & I" establishes Alicia as a talent on the piano. I love the groovy track "Girlfriend". Alicia's piano playing and vocals are so soulful on the track "Fallin". "A Woman's Worth" and "Jane Doe" are such smooth tracks. "Troubles" is a very sensual sounding track. "Rock Wit You" has a great beat and bass line. I love this song. "Caged Bird" is a beautiful sweet song. Every track is excellent on this disc.
