This is an honest reflection of her life from the tough early years, to becoming a 15-time Grammy award winner. It includes mostly her own words, with quotes about her from loved ones, and family members. The best part of the book, for me, was her childhood, growing up in inner city NY. Her classical piano training, ballet lessons, gymnastics, and some small acting roles helped keep her from the inner city madness of drugs, crimes and prostitution. She has used her talents, and her education to guide her career. Very poetic. The problem in this book is it seems to jump from one exciting thing to the next without much depth or emotion. The lack of depth becomes apparent as she speaks in detail of the names of people she has worked with and places shes been, much more often, without giving much intimacy or depth beyond its happening. She tells us of her excitement and thrill, but her lack of vulnerability is consistent. The final section reflects on her political opinions and the personal campaigns and movements she has been involved with, such as #ICantBreathe, and #NoMakeup. Here she is, again, at her most poetic. A great introduction into the world of Alicia Keys, I would highly recommend the audio version. Read by Alicia, it has a much better flow and resonates much deeper.

Alicia is a bit less than 4 months older than me and though our lives were never anything alike it’s interesting to see the parallels of her world and mine as different things happened to the nation as a whole. Alicia has me wanting to travel more, to learn more about myself and to explore more, within and outside of myself.

"An intimate, revealing look at one artist's journey from self-censorship to full expression As one of the most celebrated musicians of our time, Alicia Keys has enraptured the nation with her heartfelt lyrics, extraordinary vocal range, and soul-stirring piano compositions. Yet away from the spotlight, Alicia has grappled with private heartache-over the challenging and complex relationship with her father, the people-pleasing nature that characterized her early career, the loss of privacy surrounding her romantic relationships, and the oppressive expectations of female perfection. Since her rise to fame, Alicia's public persona has belied a deep personal truth: she has spent years not fully recognizing or honoring her own worth. After withholding parts of herself for so long, she is at last exploring the questions that live at the heart of her story: Who am I, really? And once I discover that truth, how can I become brave enough to embrace it? More Myself is part autobiography, part narrative documentary. Alicia's journey is revealed not only through her own candid recounting, but also through vivid recollections from those who have walked alongside her. The result is a 360-degree perspective on Alicia's path-from her girlhood in Hell's Kitchen and Harlem, to the process of self-discovery she's still navigating. In More Myself, Alicia shares her quest for truth-about herself, her past, and her shift from sacrificing her spirit to celebrating her worth. With the raw honesty that epitomizes Alicia's artistry, More Myself is at once a riveting account and a clarion call to readers: to define themselves in a world that rarely encourages a true and unique identity"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
