About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Succeeding where the reclusive Lauryn Hill failed in a 2002 effort, Grammy winner Alicia Keys is the perfect performer to relaunch MTV's vaunted Unplugged series. She's a musician with impressive singing and compositional gifts that are even better appreciated in a live setting --particularly one as intimate as the vibe found here. Backed by a full band complete with horn and string sections and soulful background singers, Keys shines with a stage presence that's alternately warm and coy; think Aretha Franklin circa 1972. The New York native imbues whatever she touches with heartfelt vulnerability, be it a nod to Gladys Knight on a subtle, saxophone-accompanied version of "If I Was Your Woman," or her spirited, Stevie Wonder–reminiscent piano playing on the hit "If I Ain't Got You." Fans will be pleased that Keys reaches back to her breakthrough debut, Songs in A Minor, and delivers a lush reading of "Fallin' " caressed by restrained orchestration, plus a reworked, gospel-kissed Prince nugget rechristened "How Come You Don't Call Me." Keys's range is impressive, and while her duet with Maroon 5's Adam Levine on the Rolling Stones classic "Wild Horses" is fairly boilerplate, her collaborations with Mos Def, Common, and others on the curtain-closing jam, "Love It or Leave It Alone," show why Alicia Keys is the new queen of hip-hop soul. Sorry, Mary J. Dave Gil de Rubio, Barnes & Noble

December 04, 2005: I love Alicia Keys more than any other musical artist. I have posters of her on my wall, I've seen her live, own all of her CDs, and know every word to just about every one of her songs. She's beautiful and talented, and both of which are heard on this CD. All of her previous hits are done in an outstanding manner--her performance of "How Come You Don't Call Me" sent chills down my spine. Her new songs are hot--I love "Stolen Moments" and "Streets of New York". There are plenty of surprises as well--the remix to "Welcome to Jamrock" was hot. I thoroughly enjoy this CD, and I hope others go out and buy it so they can too.
