On March 13, Alicia Keys and Oprah Winfrey revealed that Keys' autobiography — More Myself — would be released by Macmillan's Flatiron Books on Nov. 5, the first title under the aegis of Winfrey's "An Oprah Book" imprint. "I didn't tell anybody that I was writing this book," said Keys. 

"The point is that we get to continuously discover who we are," said Keys, explaining how the book's title is key to its purpose. Filled with lessons readers can apply to their own paths, More Myself creates a "360 degree perspective" on Keys' timeline through music to super-star status, combining the 61st GRAMMYs host's musings, plus interviews from friends who have shared in her journey.

"I'm just so happy that I can say I arrived at a place where I actually am more myself than I've ever been in my life," said Keys. "I really look forward to becoming even more More Myself." That's why she declared, "I wanted to call it a journey ... I do not want it to be called a memoir."

"You don't have to compare yourself to anybody. You don't have to try to be like somebody else. You don't have to try to make other people who you want to please happy," continued Keys. "The goal is that you are making yourself happy, that you are learning more about yourself."

More Myself is available for pre-order on Flatiron Books' website, and Oprah Magazine has additional details.

2019 GRAMMY host Alicia Keys also posted for her latest single, "Show Me Love" featuring Miguel, along with a powerful message: "One of my favorite things about making music is the collaboration process and everyone bringing their beautiful spirits and expertise to the process! It's an honor to have created magic with you on 'Show Me Love'!! Big Love to all the people #behindtherecord you're amazing and I'm grateful to you for rockin' with me. I'm here to #givecredit."

"Proper crediting, at its core, is about a reverence for creativity and the incongruous ways in which it moves through creators. As technology continues to change at a rapid rate, we must be prepared to redefine the ways in which we recognize and define creative roles in order to create a more diverse and inclusive industry. We must be prepared to leave behind precedent in favor of a true recognition of modern authorship." - Maggie Rogers

"We make music in the spirit of fun and collaboration and it's important to us that that spirit stays alive from the making of the track into its whole lifespan. Plus, it’s just fair. If someone helps make a song, they deserve to be credited. We usually make songs with our friends and it's so fun to be able to share the joy of releasing a song with people we love." - SOFI TUKKER

Nigerian Afropop queen Yemi Alade shared the credit cover for her 2019 album, Woman of Steel, and GRAMMY-winning alt-rockers The Black Keys shared one for their 2019 LP, Let's Rock. GRAMMY-winning country group Little Big Town celebrated all the hands behind the scenes on "Over Drinking," while EDM DJ/producer Marshmello did the same for his track "Happier" featuring Bastille.
