“I’m ready for the next one already,” Keys told ET. “Which was kind of the plan the whole time. I wanted to put out Here where they have a statement body of work, and my next body of work is already in the works. I’m excited!”
“I can’t wait for you to hear new music and so that’s one of the reasons why I won’t be able to come back next season,” the singer said. “But I love writing. It’s just the most beautiful, exciting thing and every time I get better. That’s the blessing and magic of writing.”
