Nine-time Grammy Award winner Alicia Keys returns with her long-awaited third studio album, As I Am, set for a worldwide release on November 13 on J Records. Within 10 hours of being serviced to radio, Alicia 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.
