Alicia Keys has admitted to suffering from depression.
The "No One" singer revealed her tendency to bottle up her feelings leads to her feeling low and angry.
She said, "I was feeling so sad all the time, and I couldn't shake it. I started burying my feelings, and it got to a point where I couldn't even tell my family or my friends, 'I'm twisted,' or 'I'm exhausted,' or 'I'm so angry.' I became a master of putting up the wall so that I was unreadable."
Alicia has now got through that tough time and is enjoying life with producer boyfriend Kerry 'Krucial' Brothers.
She said, "I definitely found my partner. I know he is somebody who will always be special to me and that we're always going to be in each other's lives."
Alicia admits she finds it hard to open up at the beginning of a new relationship.
She added to Giant magazine, "It's my nature to let them show me who they are first before I show them who I am. But once I'm in love with somebody, I'm the best girlfriend you could ever have."

We are living in a time where everything is moving quickly around us. We are not promised tomorrow. Don't hate on the fact that she has it goin on. Listen to the preacher above "Alicia has alot to learn; thats for sure" Everyone is responsbile for thier own actions. We are no one to critic. I'm sure your closet if dug deep enough is no where from clean.mind yours.

Com on people i think it was good of Alicia to wait until she felt ready , no one is perfect as long as we are caution about our lives and us protection and this is not a promotion to sleep with anyone. Alicia is old enough l would list her as my role model.

I definetly agree. She is a woman first before a artist and truth be told she is entitled to live her life. As I stated earlier "We are no one to critic." perfection is quite far from many of us. God blessed her and may she continue to have the strength to perform and continue to make such beautiful music.
