Publisher's summary

This audiobook is read by Alicia Keys, with special guest appearances by family and friends, including Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, and Michelle Obama.

In her intimate memoir, More Myself, Alicia Keys shares her quest for truth: about herself, her past, and her shift from sacrificing her spirit to celebrating her worth.

One of the most celebrated musicians of our time, Alicia Keys has enraptured the nation with her heartfelt lyrics, extraordinary vocal range, and soul-stirring piano compositions. Yet away from the spotlight, Alicia has grappled with private heartache over the challenging and complex relationship with her father, the people-pleasing nature that characterized her early career, the loss of privacy surrounding her romantic relationships, and the oppressive expectations of female perfection.

Since her rise to fame, Alicia’s public persona has belied a deep personal truth: she has spent years not fully recognizing or honoring her own worth. After withholding parts of herself for so long, she is at last exploring the questions that live at the heart of her story: Who am I, really? And once I discover that truth, how can I become brave enough to embrace it?

More Myself is part autobiography, part narrative documentary. Alicia’s journey is revealed not only through her own candid recounting, but also through vivid recollections from those who have walked alongside her. The result is a 360-degree perspective on Alicia’s path: from her girlhood in Hell’s Kitchen and Harlem, to the process of self-discovery she’s still navigating.

With the raw honesty that epitomizes Alicia’s artistry, More Myself is at once a riveting account and a clarion call to readers: to define themselves in a world that rarely encourages a true and unique identity.

Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award 2020.

Great Surprise

Aside from a few major hits, I didn't know who Alicia Keys really was. I wanted to start listening to audiobooks and read a few good about this one, so I gave it a try. Gorgeous surprise. Alicia has a very strong and powerful life and the audio is superbly produced. One of the best things in life is to meet new and interesting people. Listening to Alicia I did meet a great woman and became a fan.

Alicia - Signed, Sealed, Delivered ❤️

Absolutely loved, the way Alicia tells her story from how her life came to being to the woman she has become. She shares her strengths & her vulnerabilities, she tells hers how in listening to her gut, she’s learnt to make empowered decisions & stand in her own power - not giving anyone the right to know what’s best for her. I absolutely love how she positions love & how the partner you are with can either dim your light or in help you shine bright like a diamond. I loved how she showcases her blended family & what that should be like should that unfold on your life, how to forgive those loved ones who’ve been absent in your life; what growing up means & the respectful relationship that you should uphold with your folks, yet being true to your maker, how the creative process of creating value looks like, that hard work, sweat & tears is part of being successful & how to collaborate with others, the power of sisterhood & acknowledge those who’ve gone before us & the responsibility we have in creating space for others not yet at the table, how to negotiate business contracts & being mindful of your own interests; the power of intentional parenting in telling them our stories from our people’s persp& finally embodying All of yourself, your quirks, strengths, your heritage, the paradoxes

Recommended for all women from 13 to 103 years old.

I not just read the book but embraced the whole idea of Alicia’s journey. It’s real, powerfully fearless and yet so honest in all its failings. I recommended it to daughters, friends and women. For it is a collective story of women today, our trials and tribulations, for our place under the sun and for just division of women’s rights as against the man’s world it’s been so far.
More power time Alicia’s pen and singing.
