How did Alicia Keys fall off so bad?

[Zero]

She had the perfect production team with the ex boyfriend. Then Swizz popped up and she got rid of that nikka and vocally she started to try to prove she was a powerhouse (she wasn't). Clive Davis also made her out to be some once in a lifetime prodigy because she was a classically trained pianist (thats industry bullshyt)

She was always a product of hype but when old boy left and J Records folded it just exposed her as being of moderate talent

Close thread

I dont think she's dropped at hit after turning thirty, which for the style of music she makes, she should be having her best success being that her audience would be 30 plus also an the maturity that she sing with, her music wouldn't be catered to kids

Her best work is 19-25, anything after that is

Most artists don't stay on top forever.

 

[Da King]

Because after her second album, her music fell off a cliff

Always the black mans fault.

It’s wasn’t the music falling off, her music is timeless. Honestly, the swizz thing ruined her brand

 

[FRIED MASON]

She lost her RNB / Soul flavor and became a contemporary pop star.

 

[Sauce Dab]

She been in the game for decades. Everybody falls off. Eventually people stop caring about you as much as when you were a younger artist

I liked falling and bought the first album...it was a let down. I liked u don't know my name my wife bought that album....it was a let down. We gave up on her in 04-05

Her songs became annoying as shyt. That started with No One. More and more songs like that started popping up. Girl on Fire is when people started throwing in the towel. Then she had kids and settled down so after a while people moved on. I don’t think what happened to her was totally uncommon.

It's cool to hate on alicia but the lady is a living legend. More bops than beyonce solo career.

Nothing lasts forever. Artists very rarely make more than one masterpiece album, if they even have that. Alicia has at least a couple, diary of Alicia and As I am.

She only has one classic album

Leaving Krucial's production killed her musically.

Her being the "homewrecker" for Swizz and his wife Mashonda was the nail in the coffin for Black women. Alicia also made a tweet that people took as a shot at Mashonda.

The following letter from Mashonda was issued in response to Keys’ tweet on Friday night: “Having a heated debate n the studio. Question is…N love is it better to go 4 the choice that is ‘SMART’ or the choice that has ‘SPARK’??”
