Alicia Keys' sixth full - length album, 'Here', is a heartfelt masterpiece inspired by her hometown, New York. With a stripped - down, hip - hop - influenced production (partially by her husband Swizz Beatz), it tells political, social, and emotional stories. The lead single 'Blended Family' feat. A$AP Rocky is an ode to complex families, drawing from Keys' own experience. 'She Don't Really Care_1 Luv', sampling Nas' 'One Love', explores a New York girl's choices. 'Kill Your Mama' takes a strong stand against environmental damage. The interludes, like 'Elevate (Interlude)' with Nas, offer insightful conversations. The album cover, featuring Keys with no makeup and natural hair, alludes to its intimate and honest 16 - track content. Music label: RCA 2016. Reviewed by enbee 02/2017.
