<p>This is Alicia's seventh student album and, according to the singer, her most personal one yet. In an interview with <strong>Zane Lowe</strong> for Apple Music, Keys said of the record:</p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p>"This is so deep. Because I feel like I have, for the first time, been most fully myself now. In the beginning, I was very myself. I really was. Although I was unsure of this crazy world that I was in and I definitely didn't know the rules or how to do it or exactly what I was doing, I was very sure of myself. I knew that I was a young woman. I'm boyish. I'm not trying to be all pretty and girly. I got my piano. I got my songs. I got my braids. Don't try to make me do this. Don't talk to me about that. Don't bring me no flower dresses and sh-t. This is me. Take me or leave me, I don't care."</p><p>Check out the visual video for "Wasted Energy" here.</p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">
