Alicia Keys has this way of singing songs that represent phases in my life, what a delight. To know that I am going through something, and through her lyrics can hear her echo that same emotion. SUBLIME ! I am sure all women feel this way, she has this gift of singing directly to us. Here is my favourite song off her last album – this song is titled “Unthinkable” here is the video. I know its posted everywhere, but I had to post it, since its my fav. ! Read more…

I went to bed with this song playing, woke up with it playing. It’s so fitting for what I feel right now. I had to share, each and every lyric in this song depicts our story… By far my favorite song on her latest album. Read more…

 I love love love me some Alicia Keys, fingers crossed I get to go see her show this Wednesday in Toronto. Have you caught this show in your city? The last concert I saw of her was sublime, the best concert ever. She had me crying, smiling and living through so many memories as I sang along. All I have to say is she is untouchable 30 Million albums sold. Enough said !

Check out below the video of her performance of “Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart) on Oprah and her interview on Oprah. (video courtesty of Mr. World Premier. Net) Read more…

Alicia Keys

This came out a few years ago, but seeing that it was soooo good and today marks the release date of Alcia Keys brand new album. (all three versions that I am on my way to go buy). I thought I would switch the quote of the day to showcase one of her great poems from her Songbook of poems and lyrics:  Tears for Water. She later performed this poem at the Def Poetry Jam, which I have included a clip of because its so good. Hope you enjoy it as much as I have. I also copied the poem for your reference below.

Continuing with the trend on twitter, Music Monday. I decided to include this to the blog. I am a big fan of Alicia Keys, saw her in concert and was in awe, the whole time. She is an amazing pianist, singer, songwriter and performer. Somehow she always seems to sing songs that I can relate to. I know exactly what she means, sometimes you can have everything, but if you don’t have that special person to share it with… it “Doesn’t Mean Anything”.
