An AudioFile Earphones Award-winning production
This program is read by Alicia Keys, with special guest appearances by family and friends, including Oprah Winfrey, Jay-Z, and Michelle Obama.
An intimate, revealing look at one artist’s journey from self-censorship to full expression
As one of the most celebrated musicians in the world, Alicia Keys has enraptured the globe with her heartfelt lyrics, extraordinary vocal range, and soul-stirring piano compositions. Yet away from the spotlight, Alicia has grappled with private heartache - over the challenging and complex relationship with her father, the people-pleasing nature that characterized her early career, the loss of privacy surrounding her romantic relationships, and the oppressive expectations of female perfection.
Since Alicia rose to fame, her public persona has belied a deep personal truth: She has spent years not fully recognizing or honoring her own worth. After withholding parts of herself for so long, she is at last exploring the questions that live at the heart of her story: Who am I, really? And once I discover that truth, how can I become brave enough to embrace it?
More Myself is part autobiography, part narrative documentary. Alicia’s journey is revealed not only through her own candid recounting, but also through vivid recollections from those who have walked alongside her. The result is a 360-degree perspective on Alicia’s path, from her girlhood in Hell’s Kitchen and Harlem to the process of growth and self-discovery that we all must navigate.
In More Myself, Alicia shares her quest for truth - about herself, her past, and her shift from sacrificing her spirit to celebrating her worth. With the raw honesty that epitomizes Alicia's artistry, More Myself is at once a riveting account and a clarion call to listeners: To define themselves in a world that rarely encourages a true and unique identity.
A Macmillan Audio production from Flatiron Books
"[Alicia Keys] often sings snippets of her music, which brings her story to life and elevates the listening experience. Spoken cameos from everyone from her husband to Michelle Obama add another layer of interest to the audiobook. Keys fans will be delighted by the behind-the-scenes stories she shares; those unfamiliar with her music will still enjoy her upbeat, unpretentious narration." (Booklist)

Thought-provoking and powerful
Beautifully written and narrated in Alicia's smooth, calm voice. This book will make you think, give you goosebumps (especially if you're a woman), open you up and inspire you. I definitely plan to listen to it again!

Joy to listen to
This audiobook was so beautiful to listen to and it captured my heart. I love that it wasn't just a story but a production. Alicia put her all into it and by incorporating guests to bring their perspective, it allowed us to go back and forth between their's and Alicia's. So many heart warming lessons from this book and I will be going back to re-listen and reflect.

Inspirational!
I am so grateful that I added “More Myself” to my listening list. Alicia Keys - your story will touch the heart and soul of many. More than that, it will give many the courage to look up instead of down. Life isn’t perfect - we are not perfect - but we are unique. Thank you for taking your listeners on a journey - yours and our own. Creative in your deliberateness. Bravo

Couldn’t wait to hear what would happen next ..
I rarely get through full audio books and tend to start but lose interest due to content or narrator. With “More Myself” I found myself looking for every possible time in the day to continue listening to hear what would happen next. An authentic story, inspiring messages and the best narration (which includes her singing bits of her songs throughout) is my fav of all my audible listens!

Great
So glad I decided to listen to this book rather than read it. Allicia’s voice, music and the narrations from the other great contributors made the whole experience so much richer! Loved it!

Phenomenal!
Deep, beautiful, raw but polished and overall expectation exceeding content and performance. Kids should be reading this book in classes, many classes. It’s accessible and deep. Educational on so many different levels.
