Honestly Zane Lowe’s interviews are the best because he’s an artist himself so it’s one creative soul meeting another. And he actually listens to what they’re saying he’s not interested in clickbait headlines or getting the gossip he’s interested in the process. I think because of that and he creates a judgment free space it is like therapy which is why the artists he get respond to him. Hayley Williams started crying in her interview because he created a space where they are free to be honest. Any artist out there getting interviews by Zane Lowe is a badge of honour and should be one of the accomplishments of your life.
The timing of this video is so beautifully aligned for me...discovering and honoring truth. Years and years of navigating the world w/o my permission. Now attracting more people who advocate for truths and the divinity in that. So good.
Courageous, freeing interview by Alicia. Powerful. LOVED IT. Love her. A Queen & Legend. And Zane Lowe. I'll continue to say it, he is one of the best in the business. Absolutely love his interviews, his insights, questions and the way he is in the moment with the artists he interviews to draw out all the important things worth saying in their music and life. I enjoy all his interviews. Another gem right here. And I love how Alicia realized what she was getting into lol - genuine vibe and the willingness to go DEEP. STRAIGHT FIRE.
The way Alicia shares her intelligence and depth with such elegance and humility is so inspiring. She has so much more amazing music to make and lessons to teach. She’s a special person!
im loving this hairstyle in this interview 😍😍 Edit: This was a beautiful interview. I definitely shed a couple of tears. I love the transparency we get from you Alicia. Truly amazing 💜

I have been working in the media for 15 years (sound technician) and have seen many interviews, but without a doubt, this is the best. Congratulations to Zane Lowe and AK for bringing us such depth. F. Nietzsche said "Haste is universal because everyone is in flight from himself"; Zane and Alicia have brought us calm & consciousness. This interview is a GIFT. Thanks to both. Love from Spain 🙏💜✨
There is a genuine energy that AK gives and I swear I can feel it coming through the screen EVERY TIME I hear her sing and speak. It makes my heart and soul smile..
Alicia is all that is good in the world. She's a true inspiration of the purest essence who makes me want to be the person I'm meant to be. A beaming light and reflection of love.
Being a music journalist, I truly find Zane my biggest inspiration and role model. He is so grounded, respectful, but incredibly informed and invested in each artist he places before him. Absolute kudos!!!
I pay attention what an amazing interview!! *The more busy you are the better you are...... thats a lie!!! *don't take you Stillness for granted *don't miss the moment *be more yourself... that is what we are all looking for.. *who encourages you to be who you are? * honor your truth *Your experience becomes their experience * Energy is exchanged * Who are you underneath it all *What is your opinion *TAKE me or leave me.. I don't care.. *What if people don't like what you do?? Then what? * Dont be come paralyzed *this is gonna be one of those interviews. I could use some therapy..
What I like most about your music, Alicia, is that you make an attempt, through songs like, "Good Job," to show that you know what it's like to be one of us, and I hope that part of you never leaves.
I cried thru this entire interview! I know you're younger than me but you are paving the way for me bc I have a message to bring to the world. I relate to you so much it's astonishing!! You are helping me get my voice out there!!
Oh my goodness! I think this interview is probably my most favorite interview ever too! Unbelievably intense, deep and authentic, I was riveted through the whole thing and I loved the pacing and time that was allowed for things to unfold. Beautiful! Thank you 🙏🏾 and bravo to both of you!!🌹😊🌹
this WHOLE interview was a MOOD forreal just WOW i enjoyed feeling her exchange of energy and reactions throughout the interview. She was just VIBIN and i LOVED IT! 😍LOVE YOU ALICIA KEYS ❤️!
First of all, no woman should look this beautiful, it is not fair to the rest of us. :) Secondly, the part she talks about how so many people try to tell us what we should not do or look like, really resonated with me. I was told my whole life by my family all the ways I should not be and not look like, I didn't have anyone encouraging me to find out who I really am. It's just now later in life that I feel ownership of who I am and I am finally ok with it, (most days) ;)
this is so powerful, honest and healing. thank you Alicia for your inner peace and growth and sharing it with the world and thank you Zane Lowe for such a good interview. so much mutual respect in this conversation. i feel so inspired. thank you
Wow! beautiful the way she expresses her thought process. I think we all feel these things but don't have the vocabulary to express it... we get so caught up in pleasing others and don't even realize it. And yes, her skin is so beautiful!
At 6:04 Zane Lowe asks: "When did you lose your bravery, right, to truly say what you think and what you feel in moment and time because you were worried the repercussions outweighed the value of your opinion?" I think that's the best damn question that's ever been asked. It presupposes we suppress our truth to get ahead and, at some point, the stress of that gets to be too much. Her answer is circuitous but it finally ends up at insecurity bred of success and losing oneself in the efforts to maintain it. Great interview with one of the most thoughtful artists working today.
Alicia Keys is simply stunning 👍🎼🎹. So well spoken, intelligent and honest. I only discovered Alicia Keys, here in Britain, when seeing her live on BBC TV on New Year's Eve just passed. I was simply amazed and stunned at her sensational music and warm personality. So, I started reading about Alicia Keys, and listening to her music on RU-vid. Truly brilliant. As a sublimely accomplished pianist, musician, songwriter and vocalist, she puts into the shade even a legendary singer and pianist such as Elton John. Brilliant. 👍🎼🇬🇧🇺🇸
Alicia Keys is wearing makeup. There is no need to be so judgemental about girls on Instagram in order to praise Alicia. We are all trying to be/find ourselves, express ourselves... and to feel comfortable in our insecurities. Your comment is just unnecessary rudeness. X
@@xophiyah7101 im not bringing down instagram models. im just stating that you dont need makeup, natural is the best beauty there is. and everybody needs to see that
Watched this interview 2 times like this and Im so proud of her for succeeding and having control over her life.... can't wait 4 the album tommorow💃💃💃💃💃
I can't put into words how much I love this interview. wow Alicia...just wow. I found so much healing listening to your healing, girl. You are an inspiration. An actual living legend of my own time. SO much love to you
Ladies and gentleman what we are witnessing here is a soul expressing herself in her most authentic self. Not making excuses for her experiences but loving, honoring and appreciating her lessons in this life's essence of Beingness. Ms. Keys the flow state looks great on you. Keep being you and sharing your light with the world. The time is Now within your Eyes Maintenance. 🙏💙 Keep tapping in. 💫
4:16 when Zane hits the nail on the head by asking the perfectest question and Alicia at 4:40 is like Ooooooo. lmao. this interview is magical ive seen it a few times ive probably commented already too lol
I absolutely adore Alicia. She has such an old soul. Most of this interview had me teary eyed. She gets me right in the heart every time. Alicia is so intelligent and powerful, it's unreal!
I have never seen a interview like that. Legend interviewer and interviewee woooow such deep and honest discussion thank you Alicia for being raw and true. Unthinkable is one of my favourite songs. I love the album EOF but HERE is a legend of an album. Hope Alicia the album does well xxx
What a great interview. Can't wait to hear the new album, Alicia! And bravo to Zane for the amazing questions, his attention to detail and, deep understanding of music
Alicia is such an inspiration. Such a good person and so very talented. And Zane is an incredible interviewer! Asks great questions and seems so genuine.
I have to say that it is a tremendous privilege to be able to live within the same time as Alicia and witness her growth and evolution as a creative soul through her beautiful music. I feel truly honored.
This interview made me reflect so much about myself...😌🔥 "Always asking for very little Never wanting to do too much Never ask for too much Never wanting to have too much Feel guilty for having too much"
Just listened to the Album. It's 2am in SA and I am crying actual tears. Your music speaks to my soul. Even though Good Job was like a pre-release it took on like a completely different meaning within the wholistic project. Like I'm not okay...and right now that's the perfect way to be. My word, thank you. 😭😭😭
Absolutely love how you describe knowing yourself in terms of what you like and what you don't like, don't ask me to do this, don't ask me to do that . . . That statement had me clapping my hands like I was in church. Lovely interview. I love how she expresses herself, her feelings, and the love of the creator. I also love the way she presents the ideas of this is the way things are, while still painting the beauty and joy of how each of us can create and change it into something better. It's all so beautifully poetic.
this is totally inspiring... I've been on this journey to re-discover myself and do what I feel is the 'real me' rather than doing what everyone feels is right for me to do. they all have their opinion of what it should be not minding how it makes you feel lost. thanks for this interview ma'am and for being transparent...
This Woman is so beautiful naturally that she's given me confidence to not always wear make up!! Her songs from the first day we heard her have been so powerful and meaningful, absolutely amazing talent she is!! I absolutely lurved her first album and others. 💕💕
AK you are my spirit 'human.' I have been following you since the 90s and have loved you since. It feels so good to have a beautiful, well spoken, deep, intelligent, self-aware female, my age. You seem so real and genuine, and honest. So appreciated nowadays!
