The standout is ‘You Don’t Know My Name’, with its sighing, blissful What’s Going On strings and down-home, girl-from-the-neighbourhood sweetness. There are exceptions, namely the gorgeous Stevie Wonderish psych-jazz blissouts of ‘Feeling U, Feeling Me’ and ‘Nobody Not Really’ and the Timbaland-produced ‘Heartburn’ (half ‘Theme From Shaft’, half James Brown’s ‘It’s Your Thing’) is excellent, even if it is, frankly, the kind of pop’n’B battery-farmed out to artists by hot producers these days, singable by anyone. Falling between several stools – its R’n’B tracks not cutting-edge enough, its soul-jazz too polished, its songwriting veering far too close to bog-standard complaint’n’B – Diary… delivers on neither her tremendous potential as a soul artist, nor her huge gift as a soul-pop star.

The Diary of Alicia Keys dirilis pada Desember 2003. ‘Fallin’’, her debut single, was the female answer to James Brown’s ‘It’s A Man’s, Man’s, Man’s, Man’s World’, featuring, most arrestingly, an absolute Aretha of a vocal performance: from the melodrama of its wailing violins to its steady piano and foreboding backing vocals, it was flawless. When she debuted in 2001, the then-20-year-old New Yorker Alicia Keys had a soulfulness well beyond her years, an authoritative piano style that recalled gospel churches in Harlem as much as it did Tchaikovsky and Chopin, an earthy, street-accented, dark-chocolate contralto and an unusually acute emotional understanding of what gave old-school soul records (by Marvin, Stevie and Reverend Al) their magic. and produced by Keys, the song features the American group Tony Toni Ton on bass, piano, guitar, organ and Wurlitzer.
