It's a full plate, yet Keys yearns to "keep things simple." "It's hard to be everyone for everyone, everywhere. But it's also a beautiful thing because, hey, what if you weren't wanted anywhere at all! I just have to be conscious of everything I've agreed to do because I want to be fresh. So, sometimes less really is more."
There's something else Keys wants to give her full attention to: starting a family. And that's why it will probably have to wait. "I have so many things I want to accomplish," she says. "A family is probably the most important thing in life, period. I want to do it when I can give all of me. It'll happen. It's my future. But right now, I'm learning a lot about myself, and I don't want to rush it."
Alicia's faves
Lyric you love most? "From 'Lesson Learned.' It's on the bridge. It says: 'A life perfect ain't perfect if you don't know what the struggle's for / Falling down ain't falling down if you don't cry when you hit the floor.'"
New fave tune? "That's hard! Maybe 'How to Save a Life' by The Fray. That's a great song!"
Stress buster? "I love to get massages -- that's where I get into my little comfort zone. I can go there to relax, be quiet and get pampered."
TV addictions? "I'm not really up on television right now. Last year, I was totally addicted to Rome on HBO, but sadly it's finished now."
Favourite designers? "I love Herve Leger and Gucci. And Armani, of course -- always Armani."
Last time you looked fab? "At our release party, I had this deep purple Herve Leger dress that made me feel really good. I was able to let my hair down -- and, boy, did I let it down!"
