Album : Songs in A Minor
release dates: Jun 5 2001
Songs in A Minor is the debut album by American R&B-soul singer and pianist Alicia Keys, released on June 5, 2001 by J Records. Contrary to the album’s title—a playful reference to Keys’ youth—, only one song, "Jane Doe", is in the key of A minor.
The album was hailed by music critics, who noted her ability to catch an old-school jazz sound and mix it with R&B-soul melodies. Keys has earned comparisons with artists such as Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Billie Holiday, Prince, and Lauryn Hill.
The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling over 236,000 copies in its first week. To date, it has sold over six million copies in the United States and eleven million copies worldwide. It also earned Keys five Grammy Awards in 2002, including Best R&B Album.
