Alicia Keys has gotten married and had a child since we last heard from her on 2009's The Element of Freedom.
But with Girl on Fire (***1/2 out of four), she returns brimming with self-confidence, which shines through on the soulful Brand New Me.
She shares that new sense of empowerment in the powerful New Day and anthemic title track, which includes an off-kilter rap by Nicki Minaj.
Through her sometimes raspy vocals and intimate piano work, she conveys vulnerability and strength on such ballads as Fire We Make and That's When I Knew. The passion in her songs seem to be an outgrowth of the passion she has for the music itself.
