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.

A compelling and comfortable recollection of Alicia on the come up and her journey to adulthood as, mother and wife and artist. Well written, well read with guest 'appearances' from family and friends

she is the best

I loved learning more about Alicia's life. I re- lived every big moment with her by going on youtube and watching the performance that she talked about at the time. I love her voice whether she is singing or talking. what an amazing journey.

Listening better than reading

I feel like Alicia always wanted this book to be an audiobook rather than read. Not only is it narrated by herself but she gets others to come on and introduce chapters such as her parents, her husband, Oprah, and Michelle Obama. I LOVED listening to this!

listening to the person and finding out more about them gives you a understanding who they are. like I say to my children. who are now grown up. it's your life go live it. when your children are young. stop and watch them. try not to miss them growing. love yourself first
