Alicia Keys

A Mr Frost already reported, Alicia Keys will tour the US starting April 19th. It was just announced today that American Idol winner Jordin Sparks will support Keys on the upcoming tour. Sparks was named Outstanding New Artist at the NAACP Image Awards, the same award ceremony where Keys won four awards including Outstanding Female Artist and Outstanding Album. It would seem a smart match for the two to deliver their different styles of RnB to fans across the nation. ... MORE

I don't think I've ever heard Alicia Keys say anything that would cause anyone to raise much of an eyebrow before today. During an interview with Blender Magazine, Alicia lets off a few conspiracy theories including the statement "`Gangsta rap' was a ploy to convince black people to kill each other. `Gangsta rap' didn't exist." Another of her theories: That the bicoastal feud between slain rappers Tupac Shakur and Notorious B.I.G. was fueled "by the government and the ... MORE

  Alicia Keys is the latest on the carousel of artists rumored to sing the title song of the next James Bond film. Previously, Beyonce, Duffy, and Duran Duran were allegedly tied to the film. Amy Winehouse came closest to securing the deal, but her drug problems and bizarre behavior sealed her fate in regards to Bond. According to E! Entertainment, Ms. Keys is the frontrunner for the position in the eyes of the producers. Alicia has hinted at an early retirement latel... MORE

This is a beautiful video for an even more beautiful song. Alicia plays the role of various "super women" in the video which include a single mother on welfare, a corporate business lady, and a poor villager. I've loved this song every since footage from a studio session leaked six months before "As I Am" was released.

Although her debut album wasn't released until after the new millenium an shes only 27 years old.... .Alicia Keys is already talking retirement. In her post-recording career Alicia plans to venture deeper into the world of acting as well as seeing what the world has to offer.   "I am working hard now so I have the choice to retire when I want. I would like to travel the world and stay in places instead of having to move on like I do now. I want to experien... MORE

It's Thursday again, and Alicia Keys still shows no sign of giving up the #1 spot on the Billboard charts! Her smash hit "No One" reigns supreme for the 10th week in a row on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop chart! The song simultaneously tops the Hot 100 chart for the fifth week in a row! Not only that, but her second single off of As I Am, the emotional ballad "Like You'll Never See Me Again" continues to leap up both charts. I said it last week, and it holds even more truth this...

Complex Mag filmed an endearing video of Alicia Keys talking about her music during her photo shoot for the magazine's cover. She speaks so openly and intimately about everything going on at the shoot, in her music and her life all while you watch her striking a pose and working with the photographer and other people involved. Her music plays in the background, so it's a lot like a new music video with insights and exclusive peeks into behind-the-scenes action. A must-s... MORE

Alicia Keys' "No One" is #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts again this week. Today her hit single started week 2 on the Hot 100 and week 7 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop chart! I'm really not surprised, considering that fans and casual listeners alike are still buzzing about her fiery performance at the AMAs. She not only sang "No One" live but also invited Jr. Reid, Beenie Man and Chaka Demus & Pliers to perform with her. Her soul song transition... MORE

Alicia Keys has released a statement in regards to her comment about "gangsta rap being a ploy created to convince black people to kill each other". (you can read the original post on that by clicking HERE) In a classic case of back peddling, Ms. Keys says "her comments made to Blender Magazine were misrepresented". ""My comments about `gangsta rap' were in no way trying to suggest that the government is responsible for creating this genre of rap music," Keys said in a... MORE

As much as I love this song "Teenage Love Affair", my first reaction upon seeing this video was "wow her hips are amazing". It looks like she's rebounded from the whole Blender Magazine fiasco quite nicely. Take a looksie below....

Rumours circulating the internet last week that Beenie Man would join Alicia Keys on stage at the American Music Awards for her performance of "No One" failed to mention that she would also be joined by reggae legends Junior Reid plus Chaka Demus & Pliers! Keys stole the show with what started off as a soul song, but erupted into a dancehall party as the song shifted into a medley with Junior Reid singing his smash hit "One Blood," Chaka Demus and Pliers adding their big...
