Here is the sixth studio album by American singer and songwriter Alicia Keys. It was released on November 4, 2016, by RCA Records. Keys recorded the album in 2014 at the New York–based Jungle City Studios and Oven Studios with producers Mark Batson, Swizz Beatz, Illangelo, Jimmy Napes, and Pharrell Williams. The singer had finished writing and recording material for the album before she found out she was pregnant, which put the record's release on hold.
Here received positive reviews from critics, who applauded the raw and urgent quality of the music and its exploration of social struggles and African-American life. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 and became Keys' seventh album to top the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. By May 2017, it had sold 131,000 copies worldwide. The album produced two singles–"In Common", included only on the international editions, and "Blended Family (What You Do for Love)".
