One of the most powerful moments, and I talked about this in my book, is when I started recognizing the power of words.

In “Time Machine,” you sing, “Once you free your mind, there is beauty in everything.” I can't help but hear an echo of the En Vogue song that I loved as a kid: “Free your mind, and the rest will follow.” Were there any lyrics or other words of wisdom that shaped you growing up? This idea of simplicity-we've come face-to-face with it in a lot of ways. Some positive words that remind you of your personal power or that give you a second to say, “I am worth it to take five minutes in this bathroom, wash my face, put on a mask, light a candle, say a prayer, take a bath, put on my pajamas, go to sleep”-as opposed to nothing at all. There were these moments of clarity where I was, like, “Oh man, when I write in my journal and I get these things out of my head, I feel better.” I think that's the spirit of Soulcare. Even when it felt like there was no space anywhere. Being able to see the patterns that my oldest son has that I recognize-man, I didn't know that because I didn't get to see him in this space before, you know what I mean? One of the ways I survived during this time and kept my mind about me is I really did have to carve out space for myself. I found that it has been really centering for me, too-to the point of not traveling at a million miles a minute, to the point of being able to have consistent dinners with my family and being able to be the one that checks my kids' homework. Like, seriously.Įven though it's definitely been scary and it's totally given a lot of people major anxiety and fear, I think it's also reminded us about our humanity. Being able to be wrapped up in a community of people who also are surviving and thriving and really sharing their light in this space of Soulcare-it's so freaking awesome, man. It's literally how I live and think and breathe and how I personally survive and accomplish all of these ideas and conversations. And I'm so excited and proud of it because it's so real to me.

It's not just about skin care or hair care or body care or nail care-any type of care-if we can't care about our souls. That process brought me to this idea of Soulcare. The idea of beauty and feeling good is a lot of times considered an outward emotion, but it’s actually centered on filling yourself up from the inside. Being able to do that through the music then led me to what caring for your whole self really looks like and feels like. How the world wants you to follow everybody else's footsteps or trajectory, and how that's such a difficult place for the spirit to navigate.įor me personally, it was just recognizing there are so many pieces of myself that are hidden away or I didn't fully know or wasn't brave enough to express.
Oftentimes we feel we can't really figure out who we actually are, as opposed to who the world wants you to be. It's all so related, and it's all been part of the growth, starting with More Myself, the book, and really being able to put into words all of the ways that I didn't ever realize-and maybe many of us don't realize-how the world is affecting us so much. But as a self-declared “light warrior,” naturally she would deliver more than the expected jar of night cream.Īlicia Keys: Oh my gosh, so much. It wasn’t a surprise to hear about plans for a Keys-backed skin-care line, after so many articles about her incandescent glow. The book’s cover, showing Keys’s bare face dusted with freckles, was a reminder of the musician’s role in the makeup-free movement, beginning with a 2016 photo shoot and a continuing desire to peel back the mask.
Earlier this year, she chronicled that evolution-from a creative childhood in New York’s Hell’s Kitchen through the gauntlet of fame-in her memoir, More Myself. Keys, who signed a major-label record deal at 15 and released her first of seven albums in 2001, has earned her use of the word journey. We have to remind ourselves to shine-neh,” she said, stretching out the word into two syllables.

“On this candle it says, ‘I shine at full wattage,’ and that’s a big deal for me, personally.
(The new New Age.) It’s one of the initial three drops from Keys Soulcare, the musician’s new wellness-oriented line launching today, and Keys appeared onscreen to preview the “offerings”-the term products, she explained, didn’t feel right-and their corresponding mantras. Instead, her accompaniment was olfactory: a matte-black candle with notes of sage, oat milk, and palo santo. “Listen, who doesn’t want to transform? Because it’s all about transformation.” Alicia Keys’s voice-warm and familiar, in its Grammy-decorated way-beamed into my kitchen on a recent chilly evening.
