Blue Chi’s

There used to be a time when I was so up to date with the latest music, but I don’t know what went wrong, I don’t listen to new music as much as I used to, I don’t watch TV, and I don’t listen to the radio and I’m not following any music blogs – and I decided not to download illegal music, it is very hard to do, it is much harder than not using pirated software, playing pirated games, or even watching pirated DVDs.

Anyway, I bought this album on way to Egypt, the music shop in duty free zone of Muscat Airport is just as bad as the shops in town, I think that their commercial register activity category should be changed from music store to antique shop.

“As I Am” is the most recent album by Alicia Keys, it was released November 2007 and it is her usual soul/RnB, which is good. It took a bit of time to grow on me, I initially was only liked the lead single “No One” and just couldn’t play anything else, but after forcing myself to listen to the rest of the album I think that it is a very decent one, it is a slower than what I usually listen to, but still a nice change:

1. As I Am (Intro)
2. Go Ahead
3. Superwoman
4. No One
5. Like You’ll Never See Me Again (Main)
6. Lesson Learned
7. Wreckless Love
8. The Thing About Love
9. Teenage Love Affair
10. I Need You
11. Where Do We Go From Here
12. Prelude To A Kiss
13. Tell You Something (Nana’s Reprise)
14. Sure Looks Good To Me

3.5/5
