Alicia Keys says new album 'is about being unlimited'
Alicia Keys urged young people in the fast-changing Gulf Arab region to"continue to be bold" as she prepared Thursday to release her latest album.
In Saudi Arabia, reforms have included allowing women to drive and mixed-gender crowds at concerts -- unthinkable a few years back -- although a strict crackdown on dissent remains in place. Both countries are leading a regional drive to diversify oil-reliant economies by empowering entertainment, tourism and business.
Keys, 40, said the double-album, which includes an additional edit of each song, is also about"going back to the basics".
