Alicia Keys’ “Girl on Fire” won the prize for R&B album at the 56th Grammy Awards on Sunday.
A decade into a career that boasts more than 35 millions records sold and 14 Grammys, Keys said she was struggling to find herself. After marriage and motherhood, “Girl on Fire” showcased her newfound confidence.
"I think it's mostly just stepping into your womanhood," Keys told The Times in a 2012 interview about the album. "[‘Girl on Fire’] is really about finding your own passion, finding your own flow and standing in your own space. And just being fully and completely yourself."
