Alicia Keys is stepping down as a judge on “The Voice.” Alicia will be focusing on her new album, which fans can expect soon. "I'm ready for the next one already, which was kind of the plan the whole time," she said. "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!" Blake Shelton, however, seemed skeptical of Keys' exit from The Voice. "I know she's not going anywhere," he joked. "It's all just a media thing, a ploy. She'll be back next year and the year after that. They are going to wait and do some, you know, Carson Daly is going to be in the Orange Room at the Today show and be like, 'Oh, what? This just in! Wow!'"
