Alicia Keys in 'Musical Cocoon' Working on Third Studio

Sounds like Alicia Keys finally has her much-anticipated third studio album cookin' on a front burner.

The multi-Grammy-winning singer's reps recently announced that because she's been busy in recent months concentrating on her acting commitments, the street date of her new CD was being pushed back from June to October. Now, however, "She's in a musical cocoon working on her ideas for the new album," reports renowned producer/musical director Ray Chew, a regular collaborator of the songstress.
