Alicia Keys wants to start a family

Washington (ANI): Alicia Keys has expressed her desire to start a family soon. The singer is reportedly dating hip-hop star Swizz Beats.

"I definitely want a family. To be a mother, that's going to be a beautiful time in life," Contactmusic quoted her as telling the Toronto Sun newspaper. She added: “I don't feel like I reached the top. I have a lot more to climb. I want to continue growing and expressing myself creatively."

Meanwhile, she is set to release her new album 'The Element of Freedom' next month. She added: "You will hear a mixture of strong and delicate. A new sound and a new emotion. That's a lot of who I am right now. Before, I thought I could only show the strong side of me. Pain is just an immediate feeling that drives me to write. But now I can say that even in joy I can express myself."
