Alicia Keys album set to release on December 15

Alicia Keys was supposed to drop her upcoming "The Element of Freedom" album on World AIDS Day, Dec. 1. But the singer announced Sunday that the release date has been delayed for two weeks.

Following a lecture and performance of her latest single "Try Sleeping With a Broken Heart" for New York University students, Keys used her Twitter page to break the news.

"Luv having the freedom to create beautiful music, so I'm pushing the album back to DEC 15th. So many more amazing songs!!!" she tweeted about the J Records release.

The set's first single, "Doesn't Mean Anything," is currently No. 15 on Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.
