I wanted there to be a space where we could use our collective voice for change. Maybe we do rallies, maybe we’re signing petitions, maybe we need 300,000 signatures to get in front of this Congressperson, to get in front of Senate, so we can start to reform different policies or laws. All of our voices put together definitely makes a lot of noise and that noise does evoke change. That was where this idea came from to start what we’re now calling the We Are Here Movement, about gathering as many voices as we can to sign up. But we definitely have the power to create progress. We have a right to feel like that because for many years, I think we feel like you don’t see a lot of progress. I would sit with my friends and be like, If we’re unhappy with the things that we see, what do we do? We got hundreds of thousands of people marching in the street, but what is that going to do? Almost like this feeling that we can’t change things. I believe the answer is, we are here for all of us. That’s been affecting us all and definitely affecting me, so that all came together to the song We Are Here. This created the song with the backdrop of everything that’s going on in the world. They asked me, Why are you here? And I thought that was such a deep question because I’ve never been directly asked that before. Well, the song “We Are Here” started from this question that I was asked in a group of friends. Where did the idea to release a nude pregnant photo with the peace sign on your belly come from? But I’ll be at the piano singing, like, Aight baby, you ready? We gonna do it like this! So the baby definitely hears a lot of music. Have you been putting headphones on your stomach? You’re like extra overthinking everything. The first time I’d be freaking out like, The music’s too loud, it’s going to hurt the baby, stuff like that. I felt more tired, more kind of sick than I was the first time, but overall I feel more confident and comfortable. This one was definitely different from Egypt. Has the experience been any different the second time around? It’s my second time but it still feels like wonderment, like, whoa, how does this happen? Of course my son asked me that question the other day, which I was not quite ready for- Mommy, how did the baby get inside of your belly? What has it been like your second time around?Īlicia Keys: It’s so beautiful, so exciting. VIBE: First and foremost, congrats on your second pregnancy. Over South African rooibos tea (with a splash of coconut milk), VIBE sat down with Alicia Keys in a back room at Jungle City to discuss the superstar singer’s new We Are Here organization, being covered on the upcoming Aretha Franklin Sings the Great Diva Classics, working with Pharrell on her new album and her hopes for New York City hip-hop.
