The Element of Freedom is the fourth studio album by American recording artist Alicia Keys, scheduled to be released on December 1, 2009, on MBK and J Records in the United States.
Background
In mid-September 2009, Keys appeared on Black Entertainment Television's 106 & Park and described the album: "The way that the songs progress are gonna take you on a natural high. I just want you to feel a sense of freedom, I want you to feel out-of-the-box, feel inspired, You're definitely going to be taken on a trip, I know you're going to be shocked, you're going to hear things that you probably didn't think that I would sound like. It's a journey." In an interview with Billboard magazine, Keys stated that she "eliminated all of the boundaries and all the limitations, so that you can feel your freedom and express your freedom in every way you possibly can". It was also revealed that the album will include production by Kerry "Krucial" Brothers, Jeff Brasker and others.
Singles
On September 15, 2009, Keys posted the audio to the album's lead single, "Doesn't Mean Anything", on her YouTube channel. The song was released on iTunes on September 22. The second single, "Try Sleeping with a Broken Heart", is produced by Keys and Jeff Bhasker.
