The album "Songs In A Minor" was record by which artist?

The story behind the answer

The album "Songs in A Minor" was recorded by Alicia Keys.

Released on June 26, 2001, "Songs in A Minor" is the debut studio album of American singer, songwriter, pianist, and producer Alicia Keys. It introduced her as an artist who could combine classical piano technique with contemporary R&B, soul, jazz, and hip-hop influences. The album’s best-known song, “Fallin’,” became a major international hit and established Keys as a leading new voice.

Despite its title, only two tracks on the original 16-track album are actually in the key of A minor. The name reflects the project’s musical identity rather than a strict description of every song. Keys wrote or co-wrote much of the material and was involved in producing the record, helping give it a cohesive piano-led sound.

The album was released by J Records and earned five Grammy Awards, including Best New Artist and Song of the Year for “Fallin’.” It was later added to the National Recording Registry in 2022 for its cultural, historical, and aesthetic importance. A frequent mix-up is treating the title as a song; it is the name of Keys’s debut album.
