Alicia Keys on the cover of Giant Magazine new issue.

Alicia Keys on her new album:

“It’s still me,”“It’s more of an evolution than a departure. I came into this game at nineteen, at the most transitional phase of a young woman’s life.”

Why she thinks she’s been able to stay out of the tabloids:

“I guess the way I roll is really low-key,” she says with a shrug and then concedes, “I guess it is pretty amazing. I was looking at a magazine earlier and thinking, ‘How is it that two people are on a boat in the middle of the ocean and there’s a picture of them there?’ Like, seriously, how does somebody know when you’re gonna be on a boat in the middle of the ocean? That’s crazy!”
