Alicia Keys has confirmed her new album ALICIA will be released on March 20th.
It features the previously shared Underdog single, of which Keys said: “Some people may think of the word underdog as a negative word but I see it as a powerful word representing people who may be underestimated and yet still rise to the challenge and exceed expectations.”
“I love this song so much because it’s about real life and real people and our experiences. We’ve all been in a place in our lives where we’ve had to defy the odds. It’s never easy. One of my favorite lyrics in the song is, ‘They say I would never make it but I was built to break the mold.’ I don’t think there’s a person on the planet that hasn’t felt that way.”
Also announced is a European tour which will include June UK and Ireland arena shows in Dublin, Manchester, Birmingham and London.
