Kidzworld is reviewing Alicia Keys' album As I Am and The Hives' Black and White Album. Check it out.

Alicia Keys is back with her third studio album, and The Hives are creating a buzz with their second. We're taking a look at both CDs - check out the review!

Alicia Keys - As I Am

While the other ladies of R&B are pinning their hopes of success on their "super sexy" personas (yeah, we're talking to you, Ciara), Alicia Keys is content to let her natural talent speak for her. As I Am is a romantic album, not a tawdry one. It manages to be both soulful, and totally current while being - amazingly - decidedly un-cheesy.

    Alicia Keys - As I Am Rating: 4

    The Hives - The Black and White Album

    The Hives take their garage-rock sound out of the garage on The Black and White Album. The band's new album is slicker, cooler, and more polished than any of their previous efforts, but they still retain their indie-rock authenticity. These guys just keep getting better and better.

  • The song Fall Is Just Something Grownups Invented is only available on the UK and iTunes editions of the album.
  • Pharrell Williams produced Well All Right! and T.H.E.H.I.V.E.S.
