Alicia Keys Talks New Baby, Swizz Beatz And More On ESSENCE Magazine


GORGE!

Alicia Keys has reached a milestone....10 years in the music business! And on the June 2010 cover of ESSENCE magazine, the piano-playing beauty dives into her personal life: music, new baby boy and new love!
On love:
"Falling in love is such a force, but this is a whole other level of magic..." 

On music, marriage and motherhood: 
"I was very closed for a long time. But I feel so open now. To feel open like this means you've found the center in yourself. You're not hiding; you're not worried about anything. Everything's going to be just fine."

On dedicating a song to her mom:
"In the past, I've written mostly from my own perspective. But I just wrote a song for my next album that was inspired by a conversation I had with a man who was expressing how indebted he feels to God. He said, 'I owe God.' Now, what an interesting thought. And as much as I believe in God, for me that translated into how much I owe my mother for who I am. So I went home and I wrote I Owe You. It's dedicated to her…"
I've always been a BIG FAN of Mizz Keys! Such a beautiful force. It's no secret that she has had a tremendous amount of bad press as of late for allegedly "stealing" Swizz Beatz away from his former wife, but NO ONE can deny her talent and her role in R&B music. And throughout it all, she remains positive....BELLA!
