Sharing their excitement over their newfound bond, Alicia disclosed, “I couldn’t be more ecstatic to share this part of my journey so far and all the ways I am continuously learning to honor my truth. Alongside my sister, mentor, and friend Oprah, this book is one of the most exciting chapter yet.”
Oprah, who is beyond happy over the shared collaboration with Keys also said in a statement, “I could fell the power of Alicia’s presence even before she belted out the first soulful notes of the lyrics that made her famous- ‘I keep on fallin’ in and out of love with you.’ I knew she had all those sparkling qualities that make stars shine. More important, Alicia has navigated the spotlight and pressures of fame while retaining a humble and beautiful spirit. I am honored she chose to share her personal story through my imprint.”
