A theme of the album “As I Am” and Keys’ personal life has been the singer’s newfound confidence. When asked by Hannah Storm of “The Morning Show” about the album’s rave reviews Keys said, “There has been an overall feeling that I’ve come into my own that’s why I named this album: ‘As I Am’ because this is really who I am.”

Earlier known for her reserve and guardedness, Keys has grown increasingly confident. Keys credits much of her empowerment to a recent spiritual quest to Egypt. “I saw all these temples, and tombs, and pyramids and I learned that we as people are really so powerful and it’s all in our mind, and we can really create and have anything that we want. That’s what I learned and that’s why I came back and made this music.”

Asked about her newfound boldness, Keys joked, “I’ve started to become more vocal and more open and people are scared of me now.”

The singer showcased her self-assurance in entertaining fans in between songs. To the noon throngs of spectators, she laughed “Forget lunch break. I am your lunch.” In a nod to the “The Morning Show” taping, Keys joked, “I just want to thank you for coming out, pretending its morning.”

Keys also discussed her charity “Keep A Child Alive”, a non-profit organization that funds AIDs medication for afflicted African children and families. “I consider myself a child of the world,” Keys said. “We need attention to have better school situations. We need attention even all the way in Africa with my organization.”

Keys’ album “As I Am” was released Nov. 13 features appearances by John Mayer, Marsha Ambrosius, and Linda Perry. The single “No One” has soared to third on the Billboard Hot 100.
