ALICIA KEYS took off to Egypt in a bid to find inspiration after she struggled with "confusing music" as she set about recording her new album. The Fallin' singer admits she was struggling to find her past form that earned her Grammy Awards and acclaim and decided she needed to take a holiday. She travelled alone through Egypt, floating down the Nile and visiting ancient sites, like the Great Pyramid of Giza, just outside Cairo. She says, "I'm thinking, `Here is this structure that's been standing for thousands of years, no magic tricks, no cranes, just mind, will and hands. "I had a profound realisation that with my mind and my hands I could create something that could last forever." Fully inspired, Keys returned to the studio last summer (06) and completed work on her upcoming album As I Am, which she states is like "Aretha Franklin singing a Janis Joplin song."

Wow, what an interesting read. Makes me wonder if Alicia signed here in on ES to ask specific information about a foreign female traveling alone in Egypt. We had couple of inquiries like that!

Well you never know! Maybe one of her songs is dedicated to an Egyptian Gigaloloooo!
I can hear her already singing:
"....He promised me love and a life together
and he said everything will be so much better
if I'd just sign the orfi paper
and hand over some cash for his very sick father
I gave my heart to him
and spent too much money on this man
I was his foreign girlfriend
but then he returned to his wife and three little children in the end
he used me and it still hurts really bad
this Egyptian man just makes me so so so sad...."
