Alicia Keys is planning to release a new album this year. The news comes after her longtime co-manager
Erika Rose was promoted to a sole manager position.
She
amicably departed from Maverick in 2014. Keys remains hopeful that this decision will positively advance her career. She says: "This is the best music I’ve made yet and the best time of my life is yet to come." Colour me skeptical, but she's been in the studio with
Swizz Beatz. Keep the fun in the bedroom I say, because whatever they've cooked up, no good can come of it.
