Alicia is the face of not just one, but THREE special edition covers showcasing three very different beauty looks. The covers, which show three different sides to the musical star, coincide with the messaging of her seventh studio album, the self-titled ALICIA, which is out now. Talking about the new music at the time of release, Alicia said: “I called this album ALICIA because it’s the most me I’ve ever felt while in the studio. I got comfortable with all my different sides while creating it.”
The covers also come as Alicia adds another title to her CV: beauty boss. Alicia is creating her beauty lifestyle brand, Keys Soulcare, which will encompass skincare, body care, and aircare, with E.l.f Beauty and is set for release in 2021. We personally cannot wait to see what Alicia comes up with after seeing her aptitude for trying many a different beauty look.

The covers certainly show Alicia’s commitment to celebrating beauty in all forms and her new adventurous approach to beauty after the singer Alicia Keys famously stopped wearing makeup in 2016 as a form of self-empowerment after suffering with acne for many years.
Alicia, who is officially the biggest selling female R&B artist of the millennium (impressive much!), is seen on the covers working everything from pearl bejewelled hair with white eyeshadow to beaded locks and fresh beautiful skin. We stan her commitment to beauty versatility!
