Alicia Keys is getting back to her music, but it's not just the same old music.

Will audiences be falling for the new Alicia Keys album?

The New York pianist-chanteuse is hard at work on her third studio album, which she promises will "have a lot of political elements" and be "edgier," according to Billboard.com.

Keys, who was last in the news for her duet with U2, "Don't Give Up (Africa)," a benefit song for the Keep A Child Alive charity, says she'd love to work with bands like Queens of the Stone Age and the "thought-provoking" John Mayer.

"I have a lot of strange ideas and brainstorms," Keys told Billboard. On her 2005 live album Unplugged, which sold more than a million copies, Keys dueted with Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine on a cover of the Rolling Stones' Wild Horses, which sources say she may reprise in the studio.

In the mean time, three new Keys songs can be heard on the soundtrack to basketball drama Glory Road.
