With the release of her long-awaited third studio album, As I Am, 11-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys has clearly established herself as one of the best-selling artists of the decade. Within 10 hours of the album being serviced to radio, Alicia's first single, "No One," became one of the fastest moving and highest charting single on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. This also marks the highest first single debut for a female artist in 2007 on the R&B Monitor's Urban Mainstream chart.

"No One" was written and produced by Keys, longtime collaborator Kerry "Krucial" Brothers and Dirty Harry. The Justin Francis/The Saline Project-directed video for "No One" was recently shot in LA and will premiere on national video outlets on September 17.

Her first studio album since the critically-acclaimed 2003's The Diary of Alicia Keys, Alicia showcases her songwriting and producing talents on all 13 songs on As I Am, but also joins forces on several tracks with her longtime collaborator Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, award-winning songwriters Linda Perry, John Mayer, Harold Lilly, Sean Garrett and producers Mark Batson, Dirty Harry, Swizz Beatz and Jack Splash.

One of the few artists who can capture an old-school vibe and make if feel refreshingly new, Alicia tackles this feat once again with an album she describes as "Janis Joplin meets Aretha Franklin." Punctuated with rich powerful vocals, Alicia's vocal muses can be felt on songs ranging from the anthemic "Superwoman" and power-charged "Go Ahead" to the misty-eyed ballad "Like You Never See Me Again" and the soulful "Sure Looks Good To Me."

Since the 2001 debut of Songs In A Minor, the New York native has built an unparalleled repertoire of hits and accomplishments and clearly established herself as one of the best-selling artists of the decade. Songs In A Minor, which spawned her signature hit "Fallin," sold more than 11 million copies worldwide and garnered five GRAMMY Awards including Best New Artist and Best R&B Album. Alicia's follow-up disc, 2004's The Diary of Alicia Keys, which is currently 9 times platinum, captured four GRAMMY Awards and featured the hits "If I Ain't Got You," "You Don't Know My Name," and "Karma."

With the 2005 release of Unplugged, which has sold 2 million copies, Keys became the first female R&B artist to have three consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 album chart in as many releases. Alicia's third studio album, released 4 years after The Diary, confirmed her staying power, earning her two more GRAMMY Awards and setting more records, including tying her with Britney Spears for the most consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard 200 by a female artist.
