Data Insight
As I Am is among the most self-directed records of Alicia Keys' early career, with Keys producing or co-producing the bulk of the album alongside her longtime collaborator Kerry "Krucial" Brothers. The signature single No One was written and produced by Keys with Kerry Brothers Jr. and George M. Harry, built around a looping organ figure that became the album's commercial anchor. Keys widened her sound here by bringing in outside writers and players such as Linda Perry on Superwoman and John Mayer, who co-wrote and played guitar on Lesson Learned. The result keeps her piano-and-vocal foundation while pushing toward rock and pop textures she had mostly kept out of her first two albums.
Alicia Keys' third studio album, released November 13, 2007. As I Am debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and sold over 742,000 copies in its first week. The album features the number-one single 'No One' and showcases expanded collaborators including Mark Batson, Jack Splash, and Linda Perry. 'Lesson Learned' features John Mayer, and the Super Edition bonus disc includes a collaboration with Jack White.
