Keys is the eighth studio album by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys, released through RCA Records on December 10, 2021. It was primarily produced by Keys. It was preceded by the release of two singles: “Lala (Unlocked)” featuring Swae Lee and “Best of Me”. The album was announced on October 27 and includes two discs (original and unlocked), with two versions of 10 tracks, along with six other tracks.
Keys is a double LP. The first part features the “Original” songs, that are more traditional and melodic. The second half of the album features the “Unlocked” versions of the same tracks, where Mike WiLL Made-It sampled the “Original” tracks and gave them stronger beats and several effects and transformations. Some songs exist only either in their “Original” or “Unlocked” version.
The album debuted at number 41 on the US Billboard 200, making it Keys’ first studio album to miss the top 5 in that country.
