Alicia Keys' "No One" is a soulful song,and,paradoxically,it's better as an instrumental than as a song. Then again, Keys is a talented,classically trained pianist. Her music is still organic, in contrast to the prefab pop. It's a song all about commitment and love despite adversity. It's the soulful yin in contrast to the yang of the one night stand dance hit "Low." Alicia Keys' message is strong. In a sense,it's stronger than her voice. She sometimes sounds strained,and her odd yodeling (?) of "ohhh ohhhh ohhh" at the end doesn't quite work. Overall,it's a strong&beautiful love song.
